Season is right time of year. 



The seasons are long enough to give me flexibility to hunt and 

 take care of other priorities during the hunting season. 



Because you have plenty of time to hunt and a lot of places to 

 hunt. 



Not as many people to deal with. 



There are not many other hunters out and that makes itenjoyable; 

 also a lot of game is sighted. 



Because I have the option of archery or rifle. 



It's less crowded that rifle season. There's a fair chance to 

 kill a trophy bull. 



Because I like the season because it is long and you can buy a B 

 tag for does . 



Because of the length. 



It gives us the opportunity to hunt at a much better time of 

 year. 



I am satisfied except for the overpopulation of hunters in 

 certain areas . 



It gives hunters a chance to hunt the elk rut, and hunt before 

 it's too cold. 



It's a lot of fun. 



Because it ' s during an appropriate time to be in the field for 

 archery. 



I think the regulations now concerning bow hunting are fair 

 although I can see a problem if the number of archers continues 

 to grow at present rate. 



Pre-rifle hunting gives better odds of getting an elk. 



Theopportunity to take big game with a bow is as good or better 

 than anywhere else in the country. 



Presents opportunity to hunt in numerous weather conditions. 



I enjoy my time spent bow hunting the most of my outdoor 

 activities .
