There are a lot of elk in Montana and you see more during 

 archery. 



There are areas where they can be easily encounteres . 



There is plenty of elk, but it is how much you learn while 

 trying 1 



There seems to be a lot of elk the last few years. 



You see enough elk and the season is at a good time of year. 



Ample game, fairly high success rate, good bugling season. 



Gives a better chance at an elk. 



A lot of elk, not too many hunters at the end of season. 



Long season, good time of year. 



It is the best time of year to hunt elk. 



Seems to be a good population of elk. 



It is very exciting, and we normally get into elk. 



Gives me a chance to see elk close up at a great time of year. 

 There's no greater time and place to be than in the mountains 

 listening to the bugling of bulls and pursuing them. 



Because I really don't mind if I get an elk or not, if not I just 

 wait until rifle season. 



It seems fair to me. 



No complaints . 



I like either sex season all season. 



Because of the time of the season. 



Either sex is good; could be a little longer late season. 



Gives you an early start on hunting and it's thrilling. 



It gives lots of opportunity. 



Big healthy herds . 



It is not too cold out then. It is harder to shoot with a lot of 

 clothes on.
