blades & though not reffering to Archery Season, but rifle season 

 that those drawing cow permits be required to shoot cows only 

 thus not defeating the purpose of the cow permits to begin with. 



I feel the branch antlered policy should be taken out of effect 

 during Bow Season. I would have a full freezer if I had not 

 passed up several excellent shots at spike bulls. 



I wish our state would pass a law for just Branched antlerd bulls 

 in rifle season with cows also legal in bow season, if they would 

 do that they could sell all the out of state tags they have call 

 for then the outfitter might make a living also. Thanks for 

 Asking. 



Moussori Breaks hunting Districts need more cows taken & less 

 bulls. 



I hunt exclusively in district 380 until this year. I think 

 archery hunters should be able to take any bull they chose. 



To increase Trophy numbers eliminate hunting of spike bulls. 



I think the 4 pt rule on deer in area 333 is stupid. I spend 



lots of time in those mts all summer. Lots of deer and big ones 



if you want them. No need for this law for archers. 



I'm quite happy with all other aspects as they are. I love to 



hunt . 



Too much attention & killing of large bulls and buck deer have 

 hurt the total population of the herds in our area -point from 

 the start of Archery Season till the end of Rifle Season - I seen 

 93 head of Deer (95% mule) and only 9 bucks Aug 3x3 Idgest 5x5 I 

 personally took a spike w? @ 6500' out of 3 bucks Idgst 4x4 in 

 rifle season - No elk seen in Archery or Rifle Season - at 

 present I have 11 cow elk feeding on my land - all are dry cows - 

 only seen 3 calves last year out of apprx 75 head before & just 

 after hunting season - Few Doe's with fawn approx 10% those did 

 have twins however - 



I personally feel that the pressure of too much Trophy hunting 

 has seriously hurt the hunting in our area and that really hurts 

 the meat hunters and some of these people really need the meat. 

 Thank you. 



In general I feel the archery season for elk is good. time of 

 year is right - coincide with rut - and it is nice time of year 

 to get out and enjoy the country. I feel that spike bulls should 

 be legal during archery season. Most archery hunters will only 

 take bigger bulls for trophy. I prefer to hunt for the enjoyment 

 and the meat and being able to shoot all ages is important to me. 



Rifle hunters have to hunt the species (sex) that they have drawn 

 on special drawings.
