Because it is good country and there isn't many hunters. 



Uncrowded hunting atmosphere. 



I see more elk and deer running around than rifle season. 



It gives you a chance to hunt without the interference of rifles. 



Yes, except the fines for poaching and violations should be much 

 higher. 



No changes are necessary. 



The season is good. 



Because Fish and Game most of the time watch over populated 

 areas . 



It meets most of my personal expectations. 



Good, long, quiet season. 



It remains the most satisfying wilderness hunting experience. 

 It's quiet and relatively free of human pressure. 



I hunt for elk - depending on the weather the elk are in the rut. 



The season is long enough and game is very plentiful. 



Because it is during September during the elk rut. If it wasn't 

 for elk bugling, I would not bow hunt. 



Because the season is long and a person can also hunt the rifle 

 season. 



Uncrowded; I see elk almost every time I go out; very little 

 hunting pressure. 



It's a long season with plenty of game out there. It's held 

 during the right time of the year. It's very challenging. 



This was basically my first "real" year to bow hunt. As far as I 

 know now, I'm satisfied. 



I don't mind. 



Because it provides me with a reason to get out in good weather. 



Yes, except a late hunt may be good. 



Lots of time, good numbers of game, although quality is down.
