sex should be permitted regardless of rifle restrictions. 



As of yet the hunt is not encumbered by too many rules and 

 regulations - getting close though. 



Yes, except hunters should have to apply for all areas for either 

 archery or rifle, not both. 

 Opportunities for harvest are plentiful. 



I'm seeing many more animals, just that season is uncooperative. 



Like to observe the animals during the rut and before general 

 season. 



The season could be a few weeks longer. 



Too new at it to be dissatisfied with anything but the added 

 opportunity. 



It's the best hunting of the places I've hunted. 



The season is fun. 



I like the sport. 



For the reason that it is an option to take a cow elk. 



The challenge of hunting the elk. 



It's a good opportunity to get game for family. 



We could use better access to "our" state lands. 



There seems to be enough elk to satisfy all serious hunters but 

 the grouse hunters screw things up. 



Because I know how to hunt them, and I know where to hunt them. 



Yes, except for the slob hunters. 



Length of season, time of season. 



Either sex. 



Basically, I am satisfied with the archery season in Montana. 

 Because it gives people a chance to enjoy and learn such things 

 as patience and skillfullness . 



It is very challenging. 



Generally satisfying experience but know of elk being shot with 

 rifle. 



Excellent opportunity for increased outdoor recreation.
