License fees, season changing, air and ground cooling time of 

 year, and option of using bow and rifle. 



Because I have lots of time to hunt . 



Why not? We have the best hunting in the country. 



Have ample time and places to hunt. 



It is time that is never lost. 



Because it is good. 



Because it is exciting. 



Hunting is why I live in Montana instead of a high paying job 

 elsewhere. Archery gives me more hunting time. 



Gives me a better chance to fill my tags. 



Fine time of year for bow hunting. 



Liberal seasons, very good hunting opportunities. 



Not that many hunters . 



Time of year is good. Not shooting spike bulls in rifle season. 



The sport itself. 



The time of year is ideal as elk are in the rut. 



It gives bow hunters a fair chance to get big game before rifle 

 hunters scare everything away. 



Because it is before regular hunting season so I can go without 

 people shooting all over. 



Sometimes tampering makes things worse. 



The season is well timed and long enough to insure an enjoyable 

 hunt. 



Low pressure, nice time of year, enjoyable weather, generally 

 aethetically pleasing. 



I am content with the way things are now. 



Number of hunter is much less that rifle season; it's still a 

 challenge at best time of year - early fall. 



I had several opportunities to take game and opted not to.
