Right in the rut. 



Wide variety of choices to hunt. 



There is too much extended pressure 1 The elk don't have adequate 

 time to breed and are on the run from September through November. 



I had a lot of fun. 



Many opportunities . 



Little pressure away from roads, lots of game if you hunt hard, 

 quality hunting for adult bulls. 



I enjoy archery hunting and hunting elk is an added incentive. 



Yes, except quality could be increased with branch antler season 

 during year. 



Good gcime population. 



New experience. 



Time and length of season, number of animals encountered. 



It's before the general season and elk aren't as spooky. 



I have seen incredibly beautiful wonderful things. 



Overall I believe there is a cow over harvest but mainly with the 

 rifles. 



Because the weather is nice, can hunt both species. 



Where I hunt I saw very few hunters and some game. 



The seasons are adequately spaced and long. 



Thrill, intimacy, silence, space, fall scenery and weather, 

 earlier start, skill at controlling variables. 



Lots of undisturbed elk, hunt during rut, either sex. 



It allows me a better chance to get my elk. 



Because the challenge to kill an elk is fun for me. 



Sufficient elk, good habitat, good access if left as is. 



Plenty of animals and less competition. 



Fewer people, nice time of year, exciting.
