I enjoy the challenge! And it helps knowing it is either sex, 



i.e. it doubles my chances. 



Lots of elk statewide (mountains), access to federal lands. 



A later season would be nice, however. 



We have a lot of elk herds. 



It gives everyone an equal chance. 



Because it enables me to bugle in elk. 



The fewer number of hunters and the time of year. 



I think that the people who do bag an elk with bows deserve theml 



Quality is good. Excellent opportunities if willing to hike away 

 from roads . 



Own season and good length of season. 



Lots of elk where I go. 



Provides quality experience with excellent opportunity to take an 

 elk. 



My experiences were good but with only one season I've nothing to 

 complain with. 



Great opportunities to hunt during bugling season. 



Good numbers, possibility for harvesting exceptional bulls. 



Need management of larger trophy animals. 



Because it's a great archery season. But I think bulls should be 

 protected more in gun season. 



Because with either sex, it gives you a chance to hunt for meat 

 as well as for a trophy. 



The right time of year. 



I enjoy the feeling of being so close to the animal, I can smell 

 them. 



Sighted a fair number of elk and not a lot of hunter pressure. 



Saw more elk. 



Challenging. 



I had chances to get big game .
