I bow hunt and rifle/black powder hunt. The majority of my deer have been taken later into November with my TC Omega. Thats when I see the most deer every year. I actually don't mind the pushed back dates.
The earlier firearms season has always made me stop using my bow earlier than I wanted in years past. Its been hard for me to carry a bow into the woods when I could take my .44. Now I will have a shot at some decent rut activity with the bow. I don't think it will have much impact on seeing deer during firearm at all.
For me....I simply hunt for tender doe for my jerky so none of it really matters to me as I have all three seasons to try.
