Time of year - not as many hunters afield - quality of hunt - 

 more animal sightings. 



I find that I have plenty of time to hunt as much as I wish. 



Nice long season. 



The season is enough. 



Good number of days and species to hunt. 



Long season - abundant wildlife. 



First year. 



Mainly because it's before rifle season. 



Provides quality opportunity, and the season runs during the 

 nicest time of the year. 



Not many other hunter out. 



Archery hunting needs and has its own seasons. 



Because it occurs during the rut. 



Because there is less hunters and it's very challenging. 



Because it is during the elk rut, plus the season length. 

 There are a lot of places to hunt. 



An archer is still able to hunt with both gun and bow in the 

 proper season. 



However, more archery only area for the full hunting season would 

 be nice. 



Good access - game populations added opportunity to trophy hunt. 



A chance to bugle elk and deer before they change patterns; long 

 seasons. 



You can go out and see a lot of wildlife close up. 



I like to bugle elk and the animals aren't spooked by heavy 

 pressure. 



Because it's nice and it's such a good sport. 



Because there is plenty of animals and it is fun.
