up in Montana is very good. 



Season length is adequate. 



Yes, except with all the different "calls" elk are apt to change 

 their habits during the rut . 



It expands the time I have to hunt. 



I just started so I'm not too experienced with archery hunting. 



I have encountered no pressure from other bow hunters while 

 hunting. 



Montanan's can at least hunt of BLM and Forest Service lands. 



Generally yes, the seasons are long enough and provide enough 

 opportunity if no improvements are made. 



As of now the number of hunters is not bad. I do not want to see 



increased numbers of hunters but I am not willing to accept a 



shorter season or permit only bow hunting. It's a catch 22 at 

 best. 



Early season weather and easier access. 



We have good season length. We have good herds of species. We 

 are starting to get treated like sportsmen. 



I enjoy bow hunting a great deal but would like to see more 

 "special" hunts such as the antelope is now, ie. Big Horn, Moose, 

 and late hunts . 



Generous seasons and plenty of opportunities to harvest big game 



(deer and elk) . 



Because you see lots of wildlife. 



I just started. 



The last season opened early enough to hunt a week before 

 seeding. 



Plenty of good areas to hunt with a minimum of other hunters. 



I like it the way it is because of no black powder or other 

 firearms being allowed. 



Because I've enjoyed it. 



Ample opportunity throughout the state with few restrictions. 



No complaints .
