The season runs during the perfect time of year for bugling. 



Plenty of game. 



Plenty of time. 



Easy access to areas; either sex hunting. 



I enjoy the sport very much, and you can't please everybody all 



the time. 



The season is long enough to hunt a large area - different areas 

 in order to find game. 



Because it is working well for both bow and rifle hunters. 



I generally hunt on weekends and a few days during the week, and 

 the length of season allows me to get out as much as I like to. 



Because it is more of a challenge. 



It's an enjoyable way to hunt before gun season. 



I am afforded the time I need during the proper season. 



Lots of elk, see lots of rag bulls. 



Adequate access to areas as well as less competition from other 

 hunters . 



Long season; less hunting pressure. 



Other than my lack of time last year, I usually do well. 



Animals are available and pressure is fairly light. 



The dates seem just about right. More bow hunting only areas. 



Because I can hunt with bow and gun. It will cut money if you 

 have to hunt rifle or bow. 



It allows me to use another method other than rifles. 



I go hunting more to get out in the woods rather than for the 

 kill. This gives me an excuse to be in the woods longer. 



Because there is enough room for everybody. 



Because the season is long enough, and it is statewide, and you 



can kill either sex. 



There are less hunters than in general season and I see a lot 

 more elk.
