The elk season should occur after the regular rifle season. 



This would reduce lost animals, and increase the amount of big 

 bulls available. 



I find archery hunting very enjoyable and good for the spirit. 

 However I beleive hunting would be better if there was a late 

 season hunt. 



I feel an archery season which would begin 2 weeks later than 

 1987 would be beneficial and would improve hunter success and 

 enjoyment as well as provide for improve harvests. 



Would like to see more hunts (Deer and elk) after regular season 

 with a bow. It is easier to track with snow on ground so there 

 would be fewer wounded animals and a higher kill rate. 



Would like to see an after rifle archery season. 



1987 wasn't a very good hunting year. It was to warm and dry. I 

 think it would be better if hunting seasons were mvoed up one 

 month like instead of Sept. move it to Oct. The weather is 

 colder and more snow. Makes for better hutning and better 

 tracking. 



I would favor two week break between archery & rifle seasons, and 

 would also like to see the grouse season open one week later than 

 archery. I would also like to see some post-rifle archery either 

 sex areas . 



Would like to see some late hunts for elk archery only in 

 Gardiner area 



also a bowhunter education class would help a lot of 

 hunters, or possibly a test at a local range before a archery 

 permit can be issued 



I FEEL THAT BECUASE OF THE LOW SUCESS RATE OF BOW HUNTERS & THE 

 LOW EFFECT ON ELK DISTRIBUTION, THAT A LATE ELK SEASON FOR BOW'S 

 IN SOME AREAS SHOULD BE ARRANGED THE THOUGHT OF EITHER BOW OR 

 RIFLE BUT NOT BOTH SHOULD BE THROWN OUT. 



The only thing I would like to see is a late season hunt like 

 rifle damage hunts it would make tracking and tracking the 

 animals much easier, with less wasted animals. 



I would like to see archery season open later Sept 20-Oct 10 the 

 reopen after general season when there is snow avalible for 

 tracking shot animals 



I am mostlt satisfied with archery the way it is set up at this 

 time I like the idea of two week post season hunt.
