it allows me more time in the field & I can sharpen my skills for 

 rifle season. 



I would like to see more archery only areas 



I feel very fortunate to live and be able to hunt in Montana. Its 

 great I ! ! 



Time of year, number of hunting days & eihter sex in most 

 districts 



Plenty of hunting time; more areas opening to archery hunting 

 (area 170) 



because there is alot of game. 



Challenging with a good chance of seeing game on all outings. 



ADEQUET HUNTINGTIME AND REGULATIONS 



Plentifull game animals in Montana and to me it's the most 

 beutiful time of year to hunt or fish 



seems to offer a chance for a large animal of about any type 



Its the best time to hunt and the Regs . seem to be fair towards 

 everyone . 



because of the length of season in the river bottoms 



EARLY SEASON, NICE CAMPING WEATHER LOW HUNTING PRESSURE, SEE MORE 

 GAME 



always see elk, & not that many hunters. 



provides lots of opportunities, fun to get out before regular 

 season 



Even though I have taken only 2 deer in 30 years of hunting I 

 really enjoy the challenge 



There are few restrictions 



GOOD POPULATION, ELK RUT, FAIR WEATHER 



Good, long seasons. Many areas open plus many bow only. 



I feel it is a long enough season & more than fair on what you 

 can & can't shoot 



it seems to be a good time of year for it.
