You can hunt in all areas for elk. 



Month long season, during rut. 



I can hunt areas that I can't hunt during rifle season. 



The hunter to elk pressure isn't very much, the season is at the 

 best time possible. 



The herd are on the increase and I like the branch antler rule. 



Lots of tracks, elk in area. 



Good sport. 



Gives me a chance to hunt trophy bulls in the Bob Marshall 

 Wilderness Area. 



We have a season separate from the gun season which makes it 

 enjoyable to get out often. 



We can hunt either elk sex, also I like the permit area in the 

 Fort Peck Breaks . 



Because I was into elk on every hunt I went on; no kill but very 

 satisfied. 



It's a real challenge. 



It's not crowded and it's during the rut. 



There are many more opportunities to actually see elk, whether 

 you get a shot or not! 

 There are plenty elk around. 



I have no complaints. I just enjoy it. 



Because we usually see a bunch of both species. 



It lets you hunt any district almost, and it is either sex 

 hunting. 



Good elk population in central Montana. 



Because during this time fo the year It's easier to sneak up on 

 them. 



Good elk populations . 



I just feel the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks are doing 

 a great job. 



Because it's such a challenge and a few people get lucky.
