It is fair to all archery hunters & I see ample game 



I find alot of animals around the areas I hunt. 



The time to hunt is generous and you are free to hunt anywhere in 

 the state. Elk move alot around and so must the hunter. 



I find it enjoyable to be out in the fall and hear the bugleing 



It gives ample opportuniteys for succes 



Its still takes the most skill & that where its at. 



ALTHOUGH HARVESTS ARE LOW IN RELATION TO RIFLE, THE ENJOYMENT IS 

 IMMENSLY GREATER 



IT ALLOWS A WORKING MAN TIME TO ENJOY HIS SPORT 



I'v seen plenty of elk during the year's hunting them- but never 

 got close enough for bow. 



Even though some areas are becoming congested I can still find 

 areas that are not crowded. 



(1) hunting opportunity (length of season) (2) Diversity 

 tremendous herds & opportunity for trophy bulls in all types of 

 terain from sub alpine - timber- plains & breaks 



Hunting pressure thus far is slight when away from the roads My 

 biggest complaint is again, logging & grazing & road development. 



THIS WAS MY FIRST TRY AT BOWHUNTING. SAW LOTS OF ELK, BUT AM NOT 

 SNEAKY ENOUGH. 



Just wish it was closer 



I FEEL MUCH IS BEING DONE TO IMPROVE HERDS, ETC. 



Chance to hunt trophy bulls during bugle season. 



We have good elk population - growing more each year - Don;t 

 screw it up. 



There is plenty of game and an excelent oppertunity 



Because archers are allowed to hunt elk during their breeding rut 

 (elk): can use a call, and bugle them in. 



I see a lot of elk, especially bulls 



DURING RUT 



Enough time to research herds, includes the rut,
