They are just in rut. It's good at the end of the season. 



Elk are easy to find. 



It gives a person a chance to get a decent bull. 



I see no problems with it . 



The elk hunting is better, now there's more numbers, etc. 

 Thanks . 



Elk are out there. 



It gives all the people a chance to hunt. 



It would be nice to see more big bulls, but it certainly isn't 

 bad. 



I always see and hear plenty of trophy animals. 



I like the challenge and the season that archery season falls in. 



Because taking an elk is fantastic and Montana lets you do it in 

 the right ways . 



Good season length; little competition. 



Herds are in good condition. 



I like the season but the closest area is messed up with grouse 

 hunting even on the opening day. Couldn't you postpone grouse 

 season at least one week? 



Great opportunity to see a lot of game. 



During bugle season; limited number of hunters; good weather. 



Early season gives the hunter a good chance for game. 



Because of the opportunity to see trophy size bulls. 



Because there is a good population with some very big bulls. 



I'm satisfied with quality of hunting, but would like to see 

 incompetent, nonserious hunters eliminated. 



Good healthy elk population. 



Because there are lots of elk in Montana. 



Because it includes the bugle season without over endangering the 

 species (i.e. rifle). 



This is the most rewarding time I spend in the mountains win.
