I like hunting during the rut and I like more roads open. 

 I do not hunt elk with my bow. 



Herds are in good shape. 



Can't ask for a better place to hunt - Montana. 



I still like to get out some and this provides that chance. 



There are plenty of elk in my area. 



It concurs with the rut. 



It's hard and challenging, also frustrating. 



I like the dates and there is a fair cimount of game. 



I think it satisfies the number of elk harvested. 



Plenty of elk and a long enough season to look for them. 



The season is long enough; game is fairly plentiful; during rut, 



The season is at the right time. 



There are many varied opportunities of hunting, in my opinion. 



There are a lot of elk with numerous chances to bag an elk. 



Season length is okay, bag limit is okay (if either sex cont.). 



Because of the bugling season. 



Because I have a better chance to shoot a mature bull. 



Best elk hunting opportunity in the country for archers . 



The elk population, I believe, is at a peak. 

 Very challenging. 



Season is fairly long, adequate animals, less competition. 



Open most all areas - no special permits. 



I think it has gone well for many seasons. 



Weather, timing of season. 



Don't know any different. 



It's just the way it should be. 



It is a challenging sport.
