Appropriate season length - little pressure in hunting area 



SURE WISH WE HAD ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY ON BITT. RT. RIVER 

 BOTTOM 



WEATHER & THRILL OF THE RUT 



It represents a special time - the time to get out in the 

 mountains or river bottoms and be at one w/ the natural world. 



It provides ample hunting opportunities. 



FIRST YEAR WITH A BOW! 



Because its less crowded & easier road access. 



Length of season, opportunity to see game before it has been 

 scared by rifle shooting 



There is room for improvement but generally OK. 



Because season length is sufficient with either sex 

 opportunities . 



1) Early fall is perfect weather wise 2) Very little hunting 

 pressure - don't see other hunters 



I am seeing the animals, it's just getting the shot. 



Because it is just the right length of time. 



BECAUSE OF VARIETY OF HUNTING SETTINGS & SPECIES; LENGTH OF 

 SEASON;LOTS OF WHITETAIL IN AREA 26011 



I like peace, and freedom to hunt where I want. 



But - Too many forest roads are left open (gates not locked). 

 Also, I have noticed an incresed number of motorcycles. 



Being able to hunt either sex deer & elk makes archery a 

 worthwhile proposition. 



There is plenty of game and not to many hunters for Deer 



Mostly because the season corresponds with elk bugling period and 

 there is not much congestion in the field while hunting. 



its long enough to have an honest go at it 



Good time of year and plenty of game. 



Access to masiarea's I like to hunt.
