If a person has some initiative and will walk, chances are good. 



The animals are healthy and present a challenge that no other 

 animal could. 



Sufficient time alloted during the proper time (season). 



Always enjoy myself - less hunting pressure. 



It offers the hunter options with growth of herd a major concern. 



It is a great sport. It is nice to get out and enjoy the scenery 

 and see game. 



Because the archery season is in the height of the bugling 

 season. 



Elk numbers in my area are up and easily located; time to hunt is 

 my biggest obstacle. 



Numerous choices can be made prior to hunt as to location and 

 sex. 



The opportunities for taking elk with a bow are unequaled 

 anywhere in the country. 



I've seen more elk; every year there seems to be more animal. 



Pro's weigh the con's, so it's satisfactory. 



Yes, except for the fact that elk are becoming very spooky 

 because of some hunters who don't know how to bugle very good. 



Because it's during bugling season. 



Montana is only one of a few states left that offer good hunting. 



Currently satisfied, but concerned about future increases in 

 hunter numbers . 



You have more opportunities. 



Season is right time. 



The season is fair, difficult to hunt but very challenging and 

 satisfying (two elk, one deer, one bear in past six seasons). 



I really enjoy the Montana outdoors and the challenge of bow 

 hunting. 



It's very difficult. 



Time of year and length of season is okay. Would like to see 



more game .
