License fee is acceptable. 



The option of being out hunting before rifle season. 



Yes, except I believe the bulls should be allowed more privacy 

 for breeding. 



The length of the season, and because of less hunting pressure. 



It's at the right time of year, and we have an ample season. 



Lower numbers of participants and the greater challenge. 



Because it's bow hunting only. 



Game is plentiful and easy to find. 



Nice long season. 



Long seasons; archers get to hunt first. 



Fun; time of year; little conflicts with rifle hunters. 



Because of the number of animals to hunt in this area. 



There is plenty of area to hunt without being bothered by other 

 hunters . 



Yes, except I don't like the way many are gaining access with 3+ 

 wheelers. I would also like to see an either or situation with 

 respect to gun hunting/archery hunting for elk. 



The opening and closing dates for bear and elk coincide with 

 different stages of the rut for elk allowing hunting time for 

 changes due to weather, and bear season coincides with prime 

 berry time . 



Always see game. 



My first year of hunting big game. 



It is nice to hunt during the rut and then hunt with a rifle. 

 Both seasons take different styles. 



It provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy hunting. 



The concentration of hunters is low, and it's a nice time of year 

 to hunt. 



I started hunting twenty-five years ago and quit for about four 

 years and started up again. It gives extra time to be out
