I can get closer to the animals I hunt and feel the season should 

 not be changed. 



Many opportunities and variety of species are available. 



Because It's free of a lot of regulations. 



Early enough in the season and just the right length. 



Allows for long season of hunting when game is in prime 

 condition. 



It offers lots of challenge. 



It fits into my personal plans to be hunting and outdoors for a 

 longer period. 



Have access to private property which is generally exclusive (no 

 fees) . 



Yes, except that bird season starts during archery season! 



I have heard it ' s a good time of the year, a bit warm though. 

 It offers adequate time and areas for great hunting. 



Provides opportunity to hunt elk bugling season. 



Lots of game, long season. 



Good hunting but too many hunters. 



It's a nice time of the year. It's challenging. Can hunt either 

 sex. 



We have good populations and many open areas to hunt. 



Ample places to hunt and ample time allowed. 



Ample season, low hunter numbers afield, good game opportunity. 



There are no problems with people and weather. 



I like being able to go hunt when I want to without seeing other 

 hunters . 



It provides a lot of recreation without seriously threatening 

 game populations . 



There is less hunter pressure and it is more challenging. 



I love to elk hunt and by living close to the mountains, there 

 are many days that I get to go one or two times.
