enjoy the outdoors. 



Good full season, relatively low pressure, great quality outdoor 

 experience . 



Nicer weather and not as many hunters . 



Yes, except it would be better if Snow Crest area was open to 

 elk. 



Fewer hunters, less of a problem with ATVs and off road vehicle 

 travel . 



Bugling. 



Few restrictions . 



Yes, except I wish you take an animal with a bow and another with 

 rifle. 



Long season during which elk are rutting. 



We have a long season in good weather and it's still not as 



crowded as gun season yet. 



Plenty of game, hunters not so concentrated yet. 



Yes, except it's starting to get crowded. 



Less hunter pressure, climate. 



It provides me a longer opportunity to fill my tags. 



Because it is a way to hunt without being congested with people. 



Yes, except could be longer. 



Right time of year, right length. 



Keep the season from Labor Day to one weekend before the general 

 season but include the last Sunday. 



It gives me a chance to hunt longer. 



I feel the pressure on the bow hunted animals is minimal. 



It's easy the way it is and comfortable. 



Long season. 



It's fair. 



Minimum bureaucratic harassment.
