all depends on the weather. Last year was so hot and dry but 

 usually its good. 



I just go to see the animals. 



It is a privilege to hunt elk in Montana. I wish that more 

 people realized what we have. 



I believe a lot of people are unaware of the experience of 

 hunting during bow season-If you have never been around elk 

 during the rut, you have missed something. To take an elk is 

 just a bonus. 



I enjoy archery hunting just for the enjoyment and quietness of 

 bow hunting and I do not believe that bowhunting is cruel and 

 inhumane way to hunt. I may not have gotten an elk yet but I 

 have had my chances and hope that bow hunting in Mt. will 

 continue. 



I did not get much archery in this year as compared to others, 

 but, I still enjoyed getting out there an not worry about be 

 shot. 



I am disabled and probably shuld not anser some of these 

 questions do to my mobility. However, I do enjoy to be in the 

 woods and would like to continue to be able to afford the luxury 

 of being able to bow hunt in Montana. 



Archery hunting is a good reason to be outdoors at a nice time of 

 year-to me getting some thing is not important but the getting 

 out is . 



The time of year is probably the most pleasant time of year to be 

 outdoors enjoying. 



In most seasons I generaly see at least three elk, and I do not 

 shoot over 40 yards with a bow. 



The enjoyment of hunting for the last 33 years of hunting has 

 been phenominal . 



To me archery hunting isn't so much getting meat. It's more of a 

 learning experience. It's great getting out, seeing game and 

 trying to stalk or bugle within distance to take with primitive 

 weapons. Todays bows are high teck enough to increase a persons 

 chances . 



I enjoy bow hunting even when I don't get a shot. My time I can 

 hunt is limited but I liked the time I can spend on it. 



I enjoy bow hunting, I appreciate the opportunity to be able to 

 hunt. Wish I had more time. Looking forward to this coming
