It was a good year of elk hunting this season. 



I also hunted the late season up Porcupine creek but was not 

 successful. I think a time should be set as to how soon one 

 could leave the parking lot. By the time you leave in the dark, 

 the elk have been chased up over the ridge before its even light 

 enough to shoot. 



I hunt elk on Charles M. Russel. There are to many hunters 

 concentrated on unlimited areas . 



The "Murphy lake" elk plant, was a joke . Before the animals 

 could ajust or dispersed, the elk were shot up opening day of the 

 general season. The season should have been closed for the first 

 year in that "area", to give the elk a chance. 



I live in 290 and walk from my house so it is the only area I 

 hunt in. It is private land so we can control the hunting 

 pressure. 



I have lived in the country for 15 years and there is definitely 

 a severe shortage of grouse, pheasant thru out Mt. and the season 

 should be closed for 2 yrs to make Mt. a great place to hunt. 

 Alot of hunters feel that fish and game keep the season open for 

 revenue. Yes, there might be a few good areas to hunt but just 

 a few. 



Question 10 was answered "yes" however, the wound did not appear 

 fatal. It was in the "hump" above the shoulder and above the 

 vertebrae . 



My main problem seems to be finding quality hunting areas. 

 Wether archery or rifle hunting I try to stay away from the 

 crowds . 



Part III would not be typical as I was not able to hunt elk 

 during the 1987 season. 



This was my first year archery hunting. Looking forward to next 

 fall hunting. 



I didn't hunt elk with a bow. I just enjoy hunting deer close to 

 my home. 



Montana has great bow hunting opportunities. 



I would like to see B-tags for whitetail does in district 390, 

 Canyon Ferry Game management area. 



Give the River Breaks to archery hunters for a longer time than 

 other areas. There are too many elk for the mule deer to compete 

 with.
