It gives me great satisfaction to bulge elk in close, as of now 

 not close enough! 



It allows me to hunt during rut. 



Yes , except not enough game . 



Bugling, and at least seeing elk, earlier than general season. 



There's elk out there in substantial numbers with trophy bulls if 

 you look hard. 



Plenty of game - just got to out smart them. 



There seems to be an increase in the elk population in most areas 

 I hunt. 



Availability of elk is good and the season is timed well. 



The bugle season increase the odds of taking a bull. 



I enjoy the challenging part, and love hearing elk bugle. 



I see a lot more game and have more challenge to get close for a 

 kill. 



During rifle season most elk are inaccessible into Idaho, into 

 parks, private ranches, and private preserves. 



Bugle season is exciting and for me trophy is not a requirement. 

 There still is a lot of big bulls here, and matching wits with 

 one is a good challenge. 



Good opportunity to see animals. 



Yes, except would like to see more private land available to 

 hunters . 



Although I've never got a shot at one yet. 



Yes, except there are too many hunters that either just buy or 

 don't practice before hunting. 



Because the amount of elk to hunter ratio seems good. 



In my area there's plenty of game to hunt. Just being luck is 

 the trick! 



Because there is enough elk if you want to work for them. 



Thereare plenty of elk where a hunt and the early season allows 

 me to reach them fairly easy.
