Liberal seasons w/ generally uncrowded conditions except opening 

 weekend . 



The season is timed right and it is plenty long enough. 



Season is long 



EARLY SEASON HUNTING AND INCREASED HUNTING OPORTUNITIES 



I gives me a chance to get my deer early in the year. 



IT GETS ME OUT OF THE HOUSE BEFORE & AFTER RIFLE SEASON 



5 week season, adequate game for those who choose to make the 

 effort to go where the game is, no cross bows, no pressure to 

 score, since there's also an adequate rifle season. Beautiful 

 weather, good places to go, either sex hunting, low key. 



it is the only season going at the time, and its during the elk 

 rut. 



Length of season 



because its a long season 



BUT, I WOULD LIKE THE SEASON SPLIT TOO - A TWO PART SEASON - ONE 

 LATER AFTER BIG GAME IS OVER - FOR SNOW TRACKING AND RECOVERY- 



Because it allows more time to hunt, and with the either sex it 

 makes it much easier. 



But early moose & bird hunting (with dogs) disrupts animals 



Season is during nicest part of the year, it is a fairly long 

 season 



Length & time of season 



The oppurtunity to harvest an animal are great. 



I believe it gives you quality hunting & not as many people as 

 gun season 



A late season period for hunting rutting deer would be nice. 



I think hunting in montana is perfect. I have never seen any one 

 where I elk hunt. 



I enjoy the early hunt. 



PLENTY OF TIME, PLENTY OF GAME WONDERFUL TO BE OUT IN A FINE TIME
