I think in some areas there should be only so many bulls shot or 

 all areas should be drawn for on weather you can shoot cows or 

 bulls. 



The specisal antlerd district like 380 are not fair to the Bow 

 hunting population, I feel this phactic should be stoped now 



Would like to see 314 made a branch antlered area the same as 301 

 because many of the elk in 301 move into 314 towards the latter 

 part of the season. 



I would like to see Branch Antler Bulls only in area 314 cut down 

 on cow permits in 314 Rifle season Put in a late hunt with Bows 

 for cows only area 314 



Archers should be able to hunt Antlered bulls during the archery 

 season. In area 380, the only hunters that had a Br. Antlered 

 permit were Out Of State Hunters. I believe, as well as my 

 hunting companions, that either you raise the out of state 

 license fee or (either) they only hunt spikes and Bucks only 

 (especially in 380) 



I want area 423 to be branched antlered bulls only for both rifle 

 and archery. 



The taking of a cow spike or bull depend on the area and 



cercimstanes . If a bull was seen or heard in the area a cow or 



spike would be passed up. Other days I would not be opposed to 

 taking a cow. 



If Montana would go to a branch antler only during gun season it 

 would drastickly increase the branch antler bulls and quality of 

 the hunting for both archers & gun hunters . Just look at what 

 Colorado has done in 3 years . 



I think your problem erise with rifle hunting not bow hunting. 

 To many cow permits at least in mostall areas except Gardiner. 

 The fish and game release some elk by Fortine, Montana. 

 I have friends up here. There were mostly cows but also a few 

 big bulls. All a cow or bull hunting area. It was a slaughter, 

 the fish and game releasted 27 elk first week 24 or 25 of them 

 were shot within 5 miles of there release area. 



It would have been a successful plant if it wasn't legal to hunt 

 cows in that area. Fortine is north of White Fish. Unless it is 

 a put and take like stocking fish in the Blackfoot R. or Wild 

 Bill lake. I am not atall impressed with the over all elk count 

 in Montana out side Yellowstone Park. Wyoming, Colorado and 

 Idaho are actually better places for elk hunting. areas 101 and 

 110. 



I would like to see Deer Season be 4 point or better. Elk 

 hunter's be restricted to trails only, with all terrain vehicle's
