Yes, because it's nice to be able to get out when the deer are 

 tame and there aren't so many hunters. Also the season offers a 

 lot of time. 



I like hunting the area where I live. Very good whitetail 

 hunting on the Milk River. 



Archery season rules are very clear and easy to understand. 



I feel it works well for most people to schedule their time for 

 bow hunting. 



It suits my taste for time and type of hunting. 



It's a fairly long season and you can hunt any species when or 

 where you choose. 



The elk are in there, bugling season, there are not as many 

 hunters as rifle season. 



Because I feel that the rules and regulations are fine for the 

 bow hunter. 



I see a lot of game, hear many bulls bugle, and see quite a few 

 elk! 



It gives people ample opportunity to get out in the field and 

 enjoy hunting and the fall weather. 



It is a good excuse to get out when the weather is nice. 



Coincides well with elk rut and the season is fairly liberal in 

 length. 



There is plenty of access to the hunting districts. 



Ample game, need more backcountry security. 



I like the long season and just to be out hunting in a nice time 

 of year. 



Solitude, either sex, and game not spooked yet. 



Enjoyed it. 



Because it's long enough to hunt several times if you work full 



time. 



Less competition than with rifle season, corresponds with elk 

 bugle season. 



The season starts at a great time.
