I enjoy the early outing and the lengthened hunting season. 



I see a lot of elk and really enjoy the challenge. 



It is very challenging. 



I am primarily interested in the meat . 



There is a good number of elk around. 



Good hunting opportunities. 



It works . 



Game management programs, especially branch antler restrictions. 



There is a greater opportunity to see more elk, get closer to 

 them, and there is less hunting pressure. 



Good seasons, long, handy to where I live. 



Good game opportunities, either sex. 



Have experienced no major problems. 



It is either sex, and during the rut. 



Ample opportunity, see quite a lot of game. 



Game is plentiful; national forest is accessible (vast) . 



Not very many people hunt where I do. 



Good time of year for scouting and scenery. Can do it by 

 yourself. 



Good opportunity to fill tag (time of year). 



The season, either sex, areas are all good. 



Season length, no drawing for permit, excellent habitat in many 



areas, time of year for hunting season. 



I mainly hunt at Fort Peck. I like the permit system there. 



There ' s no need for a permit deal . 



Being able to hunt while they are bugling, and taking either sex. 



Little congestion from other hunters . This past season I saw one 

 6x7, a 350 point plus bull, and several large trophy class bulls. 



Because there is a lot more elk in the areas because of the road 

 closures .
