All your rules and regulations are good for my hunting area. 



You see more game during the rutting season (elk). 



There is plenty of big game and there are not too many hunters . 



Because of high animal numbers and low hunter numbers. 



Good time of year and gives me an opportunity for good exercise 

 and a change. 



Opportunity and quality is generally excellent. However, in some 

 limited areas (e.g. Missouri Breaks, Missoula vicinity) crowding 

 is a serious problem especially with elk hunting. 



There is a lot of wide open land that is legal to hunt on. 



Hunting is still very good. All you have to do is hit your 

 target. 



It's not broke, don't fix it, but improve it if possible. 



It's a good season. 



Though there is always room for improvement, I feel individual 

 choice is important. We now have this. 



It is fun to go bow hunting. 



It makes a great way to spend the weekend during the early fall. 



Length of season, allows hunting is varying conditions (weather) . 



Adequate number of big game animals. 



As it stands, it's enough of a challenge to keep it interesting. 



It gives a chance to hunt during good weather and during elk 

 bugling. Also good chance to scout for rifle season while 

 hunting. 



I get an additional five weekends to chase elk. 



Generally satisfied is a broad term that I can elaborate on with 

 the additional questions. 



Liberal seasons, not too many hunters, good game populations. 



By national standards we are very fortunate to have archery and 

 rifle season both. 



Because in September it is usually cool and enjoyable to hunt,
