Long season in area 260. 



It allows a time before the rifle season that is a solitary and 

 peaceful time to hunt. 



Because it is at the right time of the year. It is before rifle 

 season so all the big game are not scared. 



I feel that there is plenty of opportunity to harvest any big 

 game animal the hunter chooses . 



Bowhunting takes time in order to get close and Montana seasons 

 give you this . 



It's a fair season. 



Because of the length of the season and the game you see. 

 Because there are quite a few animals around. 



The Dept. of Fish/ Wildlife and Parks is doing a great job. 

 Season is great as it stands . 



Because there aren't that many people that bow hunt. 



Because it allows me an extra chance to get my elk before general 

 season. 



Yes, except I would like to see better landowner - hunter 

 relations . 



For my needs, it is fair. 



I like the rut for elk. 



It's a good long season, providing plenty of opportunity for the 

 taking of game. 



Hunting opportunities have been excellent. 



Because we have a good season down in the river bottom 

 undisturbed by gun hunters. 



Not too many people, not too many restrictions. 



Most areas are open to hunter access; less chance of game 

 spoiling. 



It works for me. 



There's plenty of deer around and lots of brush to hide in. 



This is my first year so I haven't had any experience to base it
