Because of the variety, openness, and terrain during the season. 



Bow hunting provides plenty of very fine hunting and doesn't do 

 much damage to the game. 



I feel the state has done an excellent job with it. 



Because I see a lot of elk. 



A lot of opportunities to take an animal before rifle season. 



There is not a lot of other archery competition where I hunt . 



While wildlife is still available for hunting this doesn't mean 

 that based on existing habitat the situation can't be improved. 



Because I like it the way it is. 



It gives one an opportunity to work at it as needed, as much more 

 time is needed for archery. 



I still have quality hunting and reasonable access to huntable 

 land. Trophy animals exist. 



Special early seaon with no black powder! 



Mostly because of the longer season. 



Because I can't think of any changes I would like to see made. 



I feel that the hunting is regulated well. There could possibly 

 be a few refinements. 



It extends my hunting and scouting. 



Length of season, variety of species to hunt. 



Not near as many people hunting during archery as during rifle 

 season. 



Because it is a very well-organized system. 



The Fish and Game is doing a good job and I like the opportunity 

 to hunt with bow plus rifle. 



Love special regulations in 260 for whitetails. 



There isn't a lot of pressure. 



Early season hunting. 



It's a safe and excellent sport, less confusion.
