Easier access, less hunting pressure, wildlife more natural. 



Because most things are within my satisfaction. 



A quality outdoor experience, few hunters, undisturbed game. 



Because it is separate from the gun season. 



It is organized well and offers a good opportunity for early 

 hunting in most places . 



It is at the right time of the year for the elk rut. 



Best time of the year. 



In general, the dates and time are okay and only a few changes 

 could make Montana an excellent state for bow hunters. 



More chance to be in mountains without so many other hunters . 



Because there seems to be a few more elk - or at least Iget to 

 see more! 



I haven't hunted long but I am noticing there aren't many bucks 

 in my area. 



There is plenty of game. 



It's the right length. 



I like being able to hunt archery and rifle season. 



Yes, except there are things that could be improved. 



Long season, ample opportunity, open land, lots of game. 



No changes are needed. 



We have good seasons and good game populations . 



I do not go often. 



Weather is good, the deer plentiful, and the elk are bugling. 



The hunting seasons are long enough to try to hunt different 

 species. 



Early season with many available hunting locations. 



Yes, except I wish the Ruby Valley was included.
