Part III - YES RESPONSES 



ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH ARCHERY ELK HUNTING IN MONTANA? WHY? 



I am satisfied with season length and regulations. 



Spotting lots of elk. 



Everything else is not as pressured. 



During archery there are few hunters, and game is out more. 



Long season, uncrowded conditions, much area to choose from. 



Lots of opportunity. 



Good population, lots of opportunity. 



It is during rutting season for bulls so you may call them in 

 close. 



No problem. 



I've never taken an elk but I've been amongst them while they 

 were unaware of my presence and these memories are among my 

 favorite since I started hunting. 



Abundance of animals - most areas are either sex. 



The elk are there and the hunters are not. 



The area I mostly hunt elk in seem to have a growing population. 



Lots of elk to chase around. 



Except for drawing in areas 621, 622 and 623. 



I think some of our grouse hunters are out shooting elk and deer 

 and then sticking arrows in the killl 



Challenge, sound of elk bugling, amount of day I can hunt. 



Because it is a challenge. 



Ample opportunity exists for the serious, dedicated archer. 



Can hunt both sexes . 



It's far better and more wild than other parts of the country. 



Elk and deer are killed by hunting closer ranges and more 

 stalking.
