I feel the herds of deer and elk are above standard to be able to 

 have an archery season. 



Because it gives me a chance at either sex elk and deer. 



The game is less weary, and you see a great deal more game. 



Liberal bag and length of season - many more hours needed and 

 spent pursuing opportunity for a high probability shot. 



Right length of time and is at proper time period. 



Time alloted for the season - length and time of year. 



Something about getting one on one with a bull elk, and if you 

 haven't been within twenty yards of a six point screaming at you, 

 it's hard to explain. 



Plentiful game and plenty of areas closed to motorized travel. 



I think it ' s a great sport and am thankful to have the 

 opportunity . 



It is a wonderful season in a great state. 



Quality hunting. 



Retired - can hunt more days than those employed 1 



There are a lot of animals and not that many are killed, that I 

 know. 



Because right now it's unknown to many people. Keep it that way. 

 It is in a good season. 



I like the length of season and I enjoy hunting elk in the rut. 



We are not asked to make a choice between bow and firearms. 



Available area in Montana vs. number of animals. 



Simply because it is not during rifle season! 



Lots of opportunity to see big game. 



Generous season. 



The total length of seasons, bow and rifle, allows more time to 

 be out there watching animals. 



I feel that archery hunting offers the sportsman all he needs to
