Because it is just before rifle hunting season, and it is a nice 

 time of the year. 



I like to hunt early and like archery only season. 



It seems that there are fewer hunters therefore the game is less 

 riled. 



Corresponds with rut, generally. 



It doubles my hunting time and allows me to be out in nice 

 weather. 



Have only hunted a few years during archery season. 



I think the season is a good length and good time of year. 



It gives me a variety of animals to hunt. 



It's a peaceful time of the year without being overrun by other 

 hunters . 



All areas are open. Season is long enough, good time of the 

 year, not too many hunters. 



Season is about right length, some special areas are left open 

 longer for archery only. 



I enjoy the season very much, but have had no success. 



You don ' t have to put up with a lot of hunters . 



Because it is generally controlled more than the rifle season. 



Because the season is right and it is very enjoyable. 

 Plenty of game. 



The areas I hunt have fair populations of all species and hunting 

 pressure is fair. 



Good length of season. Laws discourage "Hi Tec" equipment. 

 Effort to control number of archers in CM. Russell areas. 



Personally I am satisfied but I am bothered by numerous reports 

 of hit but lost animals by other friends and acquaintances. 



I would like to see a late hunt because of tracking snow. 



Because I mostly hunt "Kings Hills" and I've got a deer every 

 year there so there's no other place for me. You just have to 

 know the area.
