It brings a greater challenge to kill something. 



Excellent opportunity to observe and understand habits and 

 patterns of animals. Also greatest feeling next to a climax when 

 a bugled bull appears from twenty yards away. 



There seems to be good numbers of animals and uncrowded areas to 

 hunt. It is a quality experience. 



I like the freedom to go almost anywhere during bow season. 



It gives archers a better chance to get close to game. 



Yes, except the archery fee is too high. 



Good seasons, good areas, good licenses, and good information. 



The areas that I hunt have very little pressure. 



Less hunter congestion, good weather, early scouting for all big 

 game animals. 



It allows greater hunting opportunity. 



Ideal time of year, particularly for elk. 



Allows hunting at the best time of year; mild weather. 



Reasonable season length. 



Most areas are open and the earlier time provides better outdoor 

 recreation time due to weather, etc. 



It helps out the landowners and sportsmen. 



Peace and quiet. 



Good opportunities with minimal competition. 



It gives every hunter a chance before the competition starts in 

 general hunting season. 



I feel that Fort Keoh is a great place because it's close to town 

 and there are a lot of deer. 



Because it is great to be out hunting when the elk are bugling. 



Because it's before rifle season and during the elk rut. 



I believe the season is long enough and starts at a correct time. 

 My only exception is that with the increase of hunters over the 



115
