Because there are great opportunities for wonderful hunts . 



What little I've done I've never had any problems. I've seen 



elk. 



Good numbers of elk. 



Only because at this time of year the mountains have more elk 

 than people. 



Because I feel we have a sufficient amount of elk. 



Season is good for bugling. 



Everytime I have gone out hunting I have seen elk. 



Corresponds with bugle season. 



Solitude, either sex, and game not spooked yet. 



I see a lot of elk but find them getting harder to bugle in. 



It suits me. 



Gives me more time to hunt since it's hard to locate elk. 



Management has increased the amount of mature bulls in most 

 areas, this has made finding animals significantly easier. 



Because you are allowed one elk of either sex a year. 



I'm pretty well satisfied as it is. It would be nice to see some 

 bigger bulls but I'm sure they are there. I'm just not seeing 

 them! 



Because the area I hunt is not crowded and the elk population is 

 good. 



I've had good luck with bugling, and I know the territory well. 



You have a fair chance at elk before rifle season opens. 



I've seen elk everytime I've hunted but I just didn't get the 



shot I wanted. 



Because it's fun and elk come in so close to you during archery 



season. 



I like the chance of bugling in big bulls. 



Excellent variety of hunting opportunities and conditions. 



Ample opportunity to hunt elk with reasonable chances for seeing 

 elk. 



Elk are more abundant during the archery season.
