I can get in good shape to hunt during rifle season. 



While archery hunting, I saw both deer and elk. 



Best time of the year, elk are bugling. 



Because I feel we have plenty of animals in Montana. 



When I go out I see a lot of game. 



I still enjoy talking to elk. 



Yes, except I think in 380 it should be open for either sex elk 

 and not for spike bulls only or cows. 



It's a time to hunt without competing with others. 



This was my first archery year. It was nice not having to 

 observe sex (freedom to shoot anything). 



Adequate game populations, not as much hunting pressure as 

 general season. 



No major problems. 



It provides me with unlimited opportunities to harvest the 

 species of my choice. 



Even thoughl didn't score, I hunted a place with lots of huge 

 bucks . 



Fewer people, exciting. 



Because it seems to work well with the rifle season. 



It is set up well. 



There are plenty of animals, good weather and not as much 

 competition. 



Adequate animals, adequate time. 



Sufficient elk, good habitat, good access if kept as is. 



Because I like the challenge to bugle in a big bull elk. 



It allows me more of a chance to fill my elk tag. 



Great weather, undisturbed game, few hunters. 



The seasons are adequately timed and long.
