game, (when it works don't fix it). 



Good opportunity for enjoyment while hunting, and quality 

 experience . 



Because it's fun. 



I see more elk and wildlife. 



Because of the bugling season - and a chance for either sex. 



Legislation is sound, member M.B.A. 



Gives me a chance to limber up and scout around the country 

 before general season. 



Because I enjoy hunting with a bow and I think the laws in 

 Montana are satisfactory towards archery hunting. 



Adequate game available and a long enough season for hunting. 

 Yes, except I am concerned about the number of bow hunters with 

 little or no skill. 



I enjoy the solitude and opportunity to see and learn about the 

 game. Most of my time is just walking and watching. 



Runs with elk rutting season. 



Yes, as a sport and test of hunting skill but if I depended on 

 the meat, no. 



I like it the way it is. 



I enjoy the recreation of the long season for a variety of game 

 and the outdoor experience. 



Being able to hunt the bugle season. 



It is easy to do and fun. The amount of game is awesome. 



Competition is minimal, it includes the elk rutting season, and 

 the weather is nice. 



Have only done it one year, so right now really don't know how it 

 does . 



Season is long enough and you can shoot either sex for the most 

 part. 



Real happy with the season as it is, but wish it was longer. 



There ' s plenty of time and lots of game at a good time of the
