Extends my hunting season; more opportunity for trophy elk. 



See more game and it's less wary than during general season. 



Because I don't have to choose between bow and rifle. 



Yes, except- I am concerned with compound bow hunting and the 



increasing number of amateur or novice hunters. 



Because I have seen the biggest bucks while bow hunting. 



Yes, except I had a permit for the Breaks and was very 

 dissappointed with it. 



It accomodates most of my needs for time and quality. 



Leave it like it is . 



Early season; length of season. 



Five week season gives ample time to hunt with bow. 



It provides an excellent way to increase hunting recreation 

 without seriously impacting wildlife populations in most areas. 



Right time and length; either sex. 



Liberal season and limits. 



Because I just like being out there. It's so satisfying. 



By combining, usually fall and winter; combination of good and 

 bad weather. 



I get to hunt before regular rifle hunting opens. 



Season dates afford the archer a fighting chance for success. 



Yes, except for paying an extra six dollars to hunt. 



I have bow hunted for over thirty-five years. My time is planned 

 around bow hunting. 



I see plenty of game. 



All main species are open statewide (mostly); elk rut is on. 



I see lots of animals and have had many opportunities. 



Long season; less competition for amount of game compared to 

 rifle season.
