The elk are in the rut during archery season. 



Opportunity to get out and study game. Game are out of range but 

 have had plenty of sightings. It was a dry year and hard to 

 stalk. 



Because where I hunt during archery not very many people hunt 

 there . 



I enjoy the statewide opportunity to hunt a diverse number of 

 animals for the best six weeks out of the year. 



Because it is just fun to get out when it is nice weather. 



I've only hunted one year but it seems like many people are not 



educated enough and wound many animals . 



Because it extends my hunting season and I am able to hunt either 

 sex. 



There seems to be lots of deer and elk in this area. 



Good game numbers . 



There is plenty of game and it is pretty fun. 



There seems to be plenty of game around. 



So far there is not much competition. 



Gets you out early for game and gun season follows if nothing was 

 gotten . 



No reason not to be. It's all I have. 



It's the way you hunt. 



I think it has been handled well, in consideration to the hunter 

 and the animals. 



I would like to see an archery only season for bear in the 

 spring! 



The season begins early enough and is long enough to satisfy 

 recreational needs . 



Either sex; archery is before general season; less hunter 

 congestion and competition. 



Season is during elk rut; length of special seasons, 260 in 

 particular.
