I got an Elk this year last one was 11 years ago ( with a bow ) 



It covers the elk rutting season completely 



Like to elk hunt during the rut. 



See lots of game, quiet. 



With Bow hunting I have a lot smaller % of getting my animal but 

 the longer time to hunt compensates 



first year bowhunting 



There seems to be pretty good hunting for deer & elk 



Archery hunting in Montana is a true chalange for the hunter & 

 the hunted. 



The season is long and except for certain areas the competition 

 is low. 



I'm satisfied with archery hunting because it works in perfect 

 with Creek fishing. 



It still is not pressured really hard by hunters and has an 

 adequate population of Elk 



This is a recreational not a subsistence hunt 



It seems quite easy to attain permission 



I have had great luck in the past, & the quality remains now as 

 it was 5yrs. ago. 



Good seasons, like the extended deer seasons in Nov-Dec 



Because the season falls right during the rut for elk, which is 

 the only big game animal I hunt with my bow, and where I hunt I 

 have lots of excitment. 



BECAUSE IT IS STILL ARCHERY ONLY - WITH NO BLACKPOWDER, SHOTGUN, 

 CROSS-BOW ALLOWED. 



Because of the amount of area to hunt in 



It is a good exercise and challenge, but if I don't get anything 

 I always have rifle season. 



your chances are greater during the rut for Elk
