Excellent hunting opportunity. 



I feel that as a bow hunter I have all the areas to choose from. 



Choice of sex and length of season. 



Because where he hunt there is elk where there wasn't any before. 



Never hunted anywhere else to compare it with. 



It causes the hunter to be a better hunter. 



Early season. However, I have never hunted elk but may have time 

 in future. 



Long leisurely season, few people. 



Challenge; have always seen game and had a chance. 



My only concern has been with the seismic operations around Red 

 Lodge where I have hunted the last four years . Haven ' t heard an 

 elk bugle up there for three years now. 



Yes, except I would like to see something different in the 

 Missouri Breaks - maybe charge for a permit fifty dollars or so. 



Haven't got any yet but I enjoy it. 



I've seen a fair nvunber of good bulls. 



The length of season is sufficient to the rut of the elk. If you 

 don't have a chance during bow season you may have one during 

 rifle season. 



Good wilderness experience. 



Because we have more freedom. 



I buy my tag, spend money for gas and food, hunt hard, and enjoy 

 the outdoors . 



I like the long seasons and many opportunities (choice of 

 district etc. ) . 



Little hunting pressure. 



The time of year is right and the personal satisfaction of being 

 close to game on their own ground is very rewarding. 



It provides the appropriate experience that archery hunters 

 desire. 



Few hunters .
