Being my first year, I saw a large sum of deer and elk that were 

 larger than I generally do during regular season hunts. 



It is not a complicated system; easy to understand, easy to do. 



It covers the elk rut and is long enough to locate and kill game. 



Yes, except the difficulty of obtaining landowner permission is 

 discouraging, and access blockage. 



Long season, many areas to hunt in, good time of year. 



Yes, at present there seems to be plenty of country to 

 relationship of hunters in most parts (breaks area is exception) . 



Less competition that gun season. Weather is usually good. 



Because it starts in September which is later than other states. 



Because in the areas I hunt you don't need special permits. 



Adequate game, however, hunter pressure has been increasing. 



Yes, except there should be some kind of testing for new hunters; 

 a reasonable ability to hit a target. 



It would be better if access was better in area 700. 



There are plenty of game animals and hunting conditions are 

 excellent. 



Allows quality time in the field. 



Because for elk and deer it is either sex which makes it easier 

 for meat. 



It's before gun season, and a cooler climate. 



Good overall system. 



Because of the earlier season, but a stamp is expensive! 



Yes, except I would like to see a post bow season after general 

 season. 



Length of season - not many hunters. 



There are no areas needing improvement. Fish and Game is doing a 



good management job. 



Lots of deer.
