I think you should be able to take more than one buck with the 

 "A" tag. (antlered) 



More antlered bucks to be taken. 



I know of only a couple of bull elk being taken in the area I 

 hunt. However opening week of general rifle season I think about 

 25-30 bull elk came through the Martin City check station. That 

 is a lot of bulls for this area. I think bulls should be hunted 

 by permit only. More walk in only areas and more controled burns 

 for elk habitat. 



I feel that districts should be much smaller with limited number 

 of hunters with quota set and the elk better managed. Everyone 

 should apply for permits and the permitts be seperate from rifle. 

 Not 1st choice for bow and rest for rifle. There should be 

 certain number of elk harvasted for each district and when bow 

 season is over and all the elk have not been harvested then rifle 

 season should harvest them. 



I realize this would take a great deal of management but if it 

 was required to contact local fish and game within so amany days 

 of killing an elk and reporting sex age ext . I feel this would 

 work. Also this would require great knowledge of each location 

 and the number of elk living there. Proper management would be 

 essential . This would better the elk hunting and proper elk 

 number of all areas in the state. 



I think the fish and game should offer a liscense package that 

 includes elk, deer, bear, upland birds, migritory water fowl, 

 archery stamp, fishing stamp and conservaiton at a reduced price. 

 By the time I buy all my ammunition, fishing and other hunting 

 and outdoor equipment I can hardly afford to buy tags and 

 licenses to enjoy what I want. If something doesn't give I will 

 be forced to give up some of the things that I enjoy doing. 



Question #13 should have a neutral response as a possibility. 



All tags should be bought before opening day, and include 

 declared hunting areas . 



Every out of stater that comes all the way here to hunt obviously 

 has plenty of cash! They'll still come no matter what it costs! 

 There cost should increase 10 times and our tags should be 

 cheaper. Every time you raise our tags and not theirs your 

 promoting poaching by making it so the average person can't 

 afford it legally but needs the meat, leaving them one thing to 

 do, Poach. Get your heads out! 



I would like to see a special white tail A tag come out, to 

 enable the serious archer or persons who takes there hunting
