I would like to see six inches of snow on the ground before 

 archery season opens . 



Too many hunters, fewer large bulls. 



Too much state and club interference for financial and private 

 hunting. 



I dislike packing out the head for the evidence of sex. 



The season is about a week too long and there are too many people 

 not competent with a bow hunting 1 



Fewer big bulls left; too long of a season. 



Hunter numbers are too many for bull population to handle. 



Lots of hunters; bull elk (branched) are becoming scarce. 



Should have a late season, (winter) archery season. 



This season there was a very definite decrease in number of game 

 animals in contrast to past years . 



Shorten archery season with black powder season at end. 

 Too few trophy animals. 



Season starts too early. 



Can't harvest forked horn (two point) in Bitterroots . Can't 

 harvest spike elk. 



There is hunting competition in many districts . 



Should have late season hunting instead of early. 



I think every bow hunter should go through some kind of training 

 to be qualified as a bow hunter, or have an age limit that they 

 must be before they can bow hunt. Maybe this would stop some of 

 the rotten shots made by amateurs and young people. 



Too many archers who are not serious hunters . 



I believe there are too many people archery hunting that don't 

 belong in the hills. 



There should be more road closures during the archery season to 

 limit the use of the ATV's because they put unnecessary pressure 

 on the game, elk in particular. 



Because of private landowners not giving permission to hunt in 

 archery only areas .
