Like to be able to hunt with bows and rifle - more recreation 

 time. 



Provides a hunting of archery without rifles included. 



Because it gets you out there hunting when the elk are bugling. 



I like the early season. 



The only thing I would like to see is one week deleted, and open 

 one week in the winter after general season. 



Because we have a long season yet I'm still allowed to rifle 

 hunt. 



I do most of my hunting in the river bottom and there's lots of 

 deer. 



I like the length of season before and after rifle season - very 

 happy and satisfied. 



So I can hunt before rifle hunting opens. 



The season is of reasonable length. 



Because of length of season and time of year. 



Challenging way to hunt big game. 



Good conditions (both fall and winter) during elk rut. 



Increased opportunity, less hunting pressure. 



Good game numbers, good land access in my area, long seasons. 



Fun, no one else out. 



Just like to get out. 



There isn't much hunter congestion in the areas I hunt, resulting 

 in less pressure on the elk. 



We can hunt either sex elk in many areas not allowed during 

 general season. 



Long season, few restrictions, not crowded. 



Because there are lots of deer and not as many hunters. 



Long season and several species.
