It puts me in the woods when the animals are not so spooked. 



Not competing with black powder. 

 It's pretty liberal. 



Time of year; special archery areas; length of season; during 

 bugling. 



Hunting quality improving with greater game numbers. 



Long seasons . 



I would like to see the game refuge opened more with less areas 

 closed. 



The season is long enough to include the peak of the rut in all 

 areas hunted. 



Yes, except for the problem of trying to get on property on the 

 river bottom. 



Good time of the year to see big bucks and big bulls. 



Long seasons; lots of opportunity; no crossbows or black powder; 

 no other competition during bow season. 



Yes, except there are less large bulls in the northwest region 

 last few years. 



It ' s a good opportunity to hunt before the crowds. 



It is generally good and I like it. 



Good opportunities at variety of game. 



I enjoy the early season (bugling elk) . 



Length of season; opening and closing dates. 



The season gives you a chance at the unpredictable weather and 

 rut. 



It's quiet. Not so many people driving the roads as in rifle 

 hunting. 



Yes, except too many outfitters. 



The season is long enough and falls at the right time of the 

 year. 



Best time of year to be out.
