Part II - YES RESPONSES 



ARE YOU GENERALLY SATISFIED WITH ARCHERY HUNTING IN MONTANA AS IT 

 NOW STANDS? WHY? 



Seasons are long enough. 



But you let too many deer be taken by one person. 



Can hunt antelope in 800 districts. Was disappointed with low 

 whitetail population. 



The season covers the rut of elk and is extensive enough to plan 

 and execute . 



I think archery is a great sport but there are too many people 

 out there who wound animals because they can't shoot well enough. 



Fair season length, abundant areas to hunt. 



Because the regulations are fine. 



I feel it is a good time of year and easier to get out to hunt. 



I said yes because I love to hunt no matter if I get anything or 

 not. 



It's during the rut of elk and most of the smaller backcountry 

 roads are open. 



Uncrowded in woods and pleasant weather; on occasion I hear elk 

 bugle. 



Everything works out fine, very little change is needed. 



The access is still easy enough to get and the animal numbers are 

 good. 



Yes generally, but bow hunting pressure is growing every year 

 (elk). 



Generally not a lot of pressure from other hunters. 

 Length of season and time of year, and bag limits. 



Always hunt during elk rut; too bad not in snow season for 

 tracking. 



Archers get a head start on the hunting season. 



Makes a long hunting season for me.
