pleasurable when my boys are old enough to learn the true art of 

 hunting. 



I very much enjoy hunting with my bow. Even though It was my 

 first year I had a very enjoyable time hunting. Archery hunting 

 has brought me alot closer to the out doors & I've gained much 

 more respect for the animals because of bow hunting. I plan on 

 having many more year of enjoy ment bow hunting. I hope my 

 answers have been some help to your servey. But I guess I do 

 believe that the well being of the big game animals should alway 

 come first. 



Elk are my preferred Game for Archery. However they are big & 

 smart, the conditions have to be just right or I do not shoot. I 

 often am close enough that with a rifle it would be no trick to 

 down. But the ambience of the sport, the exiliration is hard to 

 describe. It is a great and enobling experience even if not 

 successful. I cherish the outdoor experience. 



I hunt with a bow for pleasure and to get out more often and 

 don't care if I kill anything. I killed 9 deer in the last 10 

 years with a bow and I don't care if I kill anything but a "nice" 

 buck because my family is tired of eating them. Elk hunting in 

 my area is so limited here for general season that if it is 

 restricted during archery season, I would probably quite hunting 

 & just buy beef. 



Archery hunting is a more personal hunt than hunting with a 

 rifle. You must get closer and need to use more hunting skill. 



Archery hunting is the most challenging of any other kinds. Once 

 you stalk with a bow shooting with a rifle seems like that should 

 be made illegal. 



Archery Hunting Allows me to tune up my hunting skills. 

 Stalking, Tracking, Bugeling and Hearing. 



I enjoy being out in the woods and if I see an animal I'd like to 

 take I can try with a bow. 



I'm sure I'm not the only novice bow hunter, but I feel that 

 archery hunting is already challenge enough without having to 

 wait for a spike or cow to come within shooting range 



I enjoy Archery to the fullest. Being my first Year I would like 

 to see everything stay the same. Its by far the most exciting 

 and fulfilling hunting anywhere. 



The Elk hunt is very challenging because you hunt alone 90% of 

 the time. You also have to be very close for any type of killing 

 shot. I haven't killed an elk yet, but just seeing them close is 

 very satisfying.
