Offers the outdoor oriented people an opportunity to partake of 

 our wilds during a nice time of year with little impact on game. 



There's plenty of game where I hunt, enough out to support large 

 populations . 



I get to hunt elk during their rut. 



Because I believe there is a great number of elk and the ratio of 

 animals to hunters is very small during bow season compared to 

 gun season. 



The challenge of hunting elk with a bow is very satisfying. 



A good challenge is there. 



The season is during the rut. The elk populations are out there. 



It's uncrowded and very peaceful. I see elk on almost every hunt 

 and I see a lot of trophy bulls. 



Because of the time of year (Sept. 7 - Oct. 15); and the Fish and 

 Game is finally closing roads to all vehicles which makes better 

 hunting. 



The dates are good. I would like to see the "overnight" or 

 "instant" bow hunters eliminated. 



The elk generally come into the rut this time of year. 



There remains ample opportunity for a true wilderness hunting 

 experience . 



Plenty of elk, long season, either sex. 



It meet most of my personal expectations. 



Plenty of elk. 



In five years I have taken two bulls. My only complaint is 

 nonserious hunters are out. 



Yes, except elk should be more widespread and in higher numbers. 



It gives the average hunter a better chance to get an elk. 



People get away from town or the city for a while to enjoy 

 themselves . 



The season dates and the number of elk seen during the archery 

 season. 



Because there is a big population.
