More sightings, less people, private property access easier. 



Because it allows me to spend more time in the mountains. 



The season is during the bugling and there are great herd counts. 



We have the finest areas in the world and the season covers the 

 nicest time of year and rutting season. 



It's good. 



You see a lot of game. 



Because it gives me a challenge. 



I have noticed an increase in numbers of elk I get close to in 

 311 and 301 over past ten years. 



I got a bull elk during the 1986 season. 



I enjoy it the way it is. No changes are needed. 



It is when you see the most elk. 



It's tough but possible to see and get your game. 



Be good and skillful, a shot you may get, take it if you are 

 sure, don't miss a bad hit, don't be a danger to others. 



There seems to be plenty of time and no significant impact of elk 

 populations . 



It's a good time to be in the field and offers an excellent 

 challenge. 



It is set up well, and I'm used to it. 



Better odds of getting our winter meat supply. 



In general, it gives more hunting days to a person who wants to 

 hunt. 



Have not hunted elk as yet. 



Because I consistently kill game. 



I just like to hunt; archery allows me to hunt trophies. 



I like hunting during the bugling season. It's quite a 



challenge. 



Good population. 



Because cows can be taken also.
