Good elk population; it's tricky but if you don't like it go to 

 Safeway 1 



It's fairly easy to find a bull and get close to it. Shooting it 

 is the problem 1 



Beautiful country, plenty of elk, good long season. 



It's cool. 



The areas I hunt have many elk with plenty of large bulls. 



More places to hunt . 



In the areas around Libby I see more elk since they quit early 

 rifle bugle season in 1971. 



Open area hunting, early season, before black powder or rifle. 



It's early and during bugling season when you have the best 

 chance. 



Good opportunity to get a kill. 



See animals everyday. 



The only improvement would be an increase in branch antlered 

 bulls. 



Plenty out there, just not experienced enough yetl 



Early fall, mating season bugling is very exciting. The herds 

 are building up. 



Season coincides with the rut quite well. 



My hunting partners and I always see elk and have good success. 



Because it eliminates the people who are not real hunters. 



Animals are readily accessible. 



As yet I've made no attempt to hunt elk (archery). 



Good populations of elk, not too many hunters. 



Because I feel a sense of freedom with bow hunting, and the 

 ability to hunt with a rifle also. 



The either sex areas, length of season, time of season. 



I like to be able to hunt either sex without a special permit. 



Nice hunting.
