We are allowed to hunt when & where we want. 



I see elk every year even though I rarely get one. 



Because it coincides with the rut. 



I have no complaints with the archery season 



I've hunted Archery Since 1956 127 season over Lincoln, MT. 



Killing a animal with a bow is not as important as seeing them 

 and being close 



I see game most of the time while in the woods 



the only problem I see is increased pressure 



It still requires a lot of work and is challenging! Elk don't 

 come easy to bowhunters . 



Seasons is long enough & there is enough game for everyone 



Have seen elk every year have enjoyed the hunts 



BEST TIME OF THE YEAR TO BE OUT IN THE WOODS 



It is a good place to hunt could be more bulls. 



It allows us to be outdoors when elk are most visible especially 

 while the bulls are more active 



I am stasfied but not happy with the number of not to serious bow 

 hunters 



Able to shoot cow elk 



No special drawing is in effect in my or most areas 



Season is timed well, not enough good bulls in my favorite area. 



It expands my hunting opportunity 



THE SEASON IS TIMED WITH THE RUT 



long season for hunters more flexability as to when I can hunt - 

 rifle season vs archery 



For the most part there are many places open to hunting 



I FEEL THE CALENDER DATE COVERS THE RUT WHICH GIVES ME THE BEST 

 CHANCE WITH THE GOOD WEATHER - 



Because with hunting in the areas that I do - ther isn't much
