It gives us five weeks with the bugling season in the middle of 

 it. 



Yes, except I'm not satisfied with some of the hunters I have 

 met 1 



Yes, except I think that too many areas are permit only. 



Because 1) I don't have the pressure of rifle season; 2) I know 

 I have hunting to fall back on to fill my tags; 3) I know that I 

 don't have to take a shot at something that I'm not sure I can 

 hitl 



Because it's a good time of the year and you can call the elk. 



Long seasons . 



It allows me to hunt during the elk bugling season and allows me 

 to preseason scout before general firearm season. 



It's challenging and a lot of fun. 



It is open over most of the state with a few exceptions. 



It is long enough to get out to hunt. You can hunt different 

 areas . 



The opportunites and challenges are very satisfying. 



Good time for season and the length is right. 



Nice time of the year to be outdoors. 



Because there's a special season. 



Because there are no other hunters. But I would prefer a 

 primitive weapons hunt at this time to include muzzle loaders. 



The season allows for bugling and early hunting. 



I have not been archery hunting for a long time. It suits me 

 fine. 



It's a good season, the only problem is the different groups 

 trying to change it. 



A person sees plenty of big game and it's easy to find 

 uncongested hunting. 



I feel the department is doing a very good job. the numbers of 

 game are up and it's good to see this early in fall season.
