It's a challenge. 



Nice weather, nice country. 



Quantity of elk is good in my area (trophy quality leaves a 

 little to be desired though) . 



Where I hunt you can see one once in a while. 



Yes, except it is very disappointing to stalk an elk into range 

 only to have a bird hunter fire his gun and spook the elk. 



Either sex allowed, pretty good herd and management. 



We now have the season at a good time of year but would like a 

 later season. 



It's open for either sex and during the rut. 



The large numbers of elk provide even the bad hunters a chance. 



Chance to hunt in the CMR refuge without getting a hard to get 

 special permit. Plus it gives eastern Montana sportsman a better 

 chance of an elk. 



Using elk calls while they are rutting. 



I'm not so concerned with getting an elk, it's just thrilling to 

 hunt them. 



At this time it is a quality hunting experience, less hunting 

 congestion. 



My first experience, I was very satisfied, although our hunt was 

 unsuccessful. 



But should be changed so all bulls can be hunted. 



Numbers of animals, road closures, length of seasons. 



Relatively unrestricted, long season, during rut. 



Good population of elk. 



Opportunity to see large elk, good game populations. 



There is the opportunity to get an elk. 



I saw a nice bull. 



You can hunt either sex most any place. 



Good opportunity to call and view elk.
