I have always liked the pre-rifle hunt. I do wish it was longer. 



Fair opportunity for success, not excessive number of hunters. 



The time of the year is great to be out, saw no other hunters, 

 saw lots of game. 



Gives ample time to get out in the woods . 



Because it allows you to choose area of interest and change to 

 another area if you aren't satisfied. 



Liberal season dates, advantage for bugling elk. 



Season is right length, there isn't excessive pressure. 



Enjoy getting out - nice weather. 



Very liberal 1 



I like the season length and time of year. 



It's one of the things the state hasn't managed to screw up yet. 



Length of season, time of season. 



You have the whole woods to yourself. 



We have a good game population and an excellent season. 



Because it allows a wide variety of hunting for different 

 species . 



The season is long and tags aren't too expensive. 



It expands my hunting time and opportunity. 



Adequate season, diversity of animals, few restrictions. 



It's at the right time for elk rut. 



The season seems fair enough. 



Season is long enough, not too many archers afield after first 

 week. 



The areas open are close to home. 



Opportunity is abundant for outstanding archery hunting 



experience at present. 



I enjoy hunting elk during the rut and during mild weather and
