The long season and time of year plus adequate game numbers 

 provide great opportunity. 



Because it gives me sufficient time, without sacrificing my work. 



Time of year; less people in woods; more skill needed. 



Plenty of time to hunt; nice weather; have mountains to myself; 

 lots of game; fees are reasonable. 



It comes at a nice time of year. I'm not afraid of being shot. 

 Archers must identify their target before shooting. 



Generally speaking, but would like a post season hunt. 



Yes, except maybe should be a little shorter so game can adjust 

 to different seasons (archery and rifle) . 



Abundance of game. 



Good regulations; limits per area (species and sex) no problems 

 for me. 



Safe; challenging; privacy; healthy experience. 



Because of the freedom of the regulations and time of hunting, 

 you're not pressured. 



Because of length and can still hunt with rifle. 



Length of season is okay; weather is good. Extends my hunting 

 season and gets me out. 



Length and time are good. 



I realize it is tough I Good time to hunt. 



Enjoy the season length and having less hunter competition than 

 the general rifle season. Also because it occurs during the elk 

 rutting season. 



Beautiful time of the year to be out because it's so early. 



I've got plenty of time to enjoy the hunt. 



I like the length of the season because of my work. 



Fair, long enough season without firearm hunter competing. 



Because it gives me the opportunity to get out and tune myself 

 for the upcoming rifle hunt. 



1) Because srchery stamp is a reasonable price; 2) elk are in the
