Archery is fun and I like it alot. I can get out before general 

 season, get familiar with some land and maybe fill some of my 

 tags. 



Thanks for thinking of the bow hunters. Great way to get close 

 to animals even if you don't shoot. A bow season during the post 

 season would be fantastic. A chance at a big animal after they 

 settle down from the general season and during the rut. 



It was difficult to answer a few of the questions because this 

 was my first year to archery hunt. I found this type of hunting 

 difficult but rewarding and very exciting. Am looking forward to 

 the 1988 archery season. 



Archery hunting has suffered from growing pains. Too many good 

 archers too quick. If we limit our equipment I think we can 

 still have our long seasons. Quality hunting time is what 

 archery is all about. Too many new archers have confused archery 

 killing with archery hunting. 



Very enjoyable sport. A chance to see the animalsbefore they 

 become conditioned to the pressure of rifle season. 



We did not hear any bulls bugle this year, but I understand the 

 weather had a lot to do with it. Being my first year, I really 

 enjoyed hunting with a bow even though I didn't get an elk. 



Archery hunting gets the hunter back to basics. Even if I have 

 never shot at an elk, I have the satisfaction of knowing each 

 year I get a little closer. 



I think I enjoy archery season more than rifle season beause I 

 always see deer and elk when I'm out hunting because there isn't 

 as many bowhunters . I like to see the game even though most of 

 the time I don't get a shot with the bow. 



Archery is one of the most satisfying sports If ever started. 



At my age its very nice to be able to get out. I enjoy the 

 relaxing in the sun on an open hill side or park; but still need 

 the excuse to get out. Getting somthing any more is secondary. 



Bow is fun because you work hard to get closer to games than 

 rifle - I enjoy Bow alots excercise & quiet & patient. 



I am over 70 yr. old & I love to hunt & be out there in the wild 



life. 



Thank you for helping us to be there. 



I had Fun and enjoyed it more than rifle season even though I got 

 my game with my rifle.
