holding cow tag's. This being season's from 1983. This area 

 needs help from you - the 25 cow permit's brings more pressure on 

 the spikes & 3 1/2 yeard old's then the cow's & calf's in the 

 long run. 



I hope the rummer I heard about making branch-antlered bulls only 

 by permit in all regenes is false. 



I support road closures as in the Gravellys and I support Elk 

 antler regulations ie. Branch-Antler only however I would 

 reccomend a brow-tine reg. which would greatly increase the 

 branched spike population going into the next year, 25% I 

 believe. Eye-guards (Brow-tines) only. No spikes, not even 

 branched. Also I would love to see a few areas go 5x5 or better 

 only, would increase trophys yet allow hunters to hunt. 



I wish that during the deer season that harvested animals would 

 be at least 3 pts on a side. White tail 7 Mule dear 



No spike bulls should be harvested. 



Spikes bulls are immature animals and never reach near their 



potential for being avilable animal for harvest. If a person 



wants elk meat so bad let him apply for a drawing in a cow elk 



area. 



I want to thank the Dept. of fish. Wildlife & Parks, for the good 



work that they are doing. And if there is any thing I can do to 



help them. Please let me know. Thanks again. 



I would like to say one more thing if I may. Shooting of calves 



should be stopped, in Bow season and rifle season. 



also stop shooting of spike Bulls after cow season is over in 



rifle season - I will shut up now - Thank you - 



Having requirements for branch antler elk and 4 point deer takes 

 something out of the archery hunt. I feel that with archery (not 

 gun) these requirements should be waived. 



I would like to see a 4-point or better law applied to all deer 

 in Mt. That would let some of the little bucks grow up to be 

 trophys. I hunt mostly for enjoyment and had plenty of shots at 

 does, spikes & 2 points. I was looking for a big buck. But I 

 still enjoyed the "87" hunting year. 



Should make a law so a branched bull can be shot with bow in 

 spike only districts . 



Protect spikes to increase larger bull pop. 



I think if you wnt to branch antler bull state wide for gun 

 season you could spread out the hunting pressure. I have many 

 good memories of hunting the River years ago which I feel now is 

 ruined. Percentage wize to many people hunt the river because it
