Too many bow hunters who are really gun hunters out bird hunting 

 and carrying their bow along in case something runs across the 

 road.! Disruptive to bow hunters. 



Too many posted signs. 



Montana needs a late season bow hunt for elk. 



Because you should be able to kill one deer in rifle season too. 



Opens too late, should open earlier and close earlier. 



Shorten season. 



Not enough big game in certain areas . 



The elk population seems to be declining. 



Bow season should follow rifle season because too many animals 

 are being wounded and left to die because of a lack of snow for 

 tracking. 



Need more availability to lands. 



There are so many road closures and closed areas it is getting 



hard for any success. 



Seasons are too short. Late season archery (residents only) 

 should be workable, too. 



Too many ill-prepared hunters are allowed to hunt. Snow would 

 reduce amount of animals lost. 



I don't see as many trophy bulls compared to years past. 



Archery hunting should have a party permit for elk, it would stop 

 illegal hunters and be safer for everybody. 



Need to go party hunting so you have someone to hunt with for 

 safety. 



Too much pressure from the nonserious hunter; many who only use 

 archery as a method to reckon areas for gun hunting. 



Too many out of state people hunting. 



The bow hunting in 380 was hard enough without the restrictions. 



Too limited of hunting areas due to private property. 



It could be one week longer.
