southwest Montana. 



Season is too early, too dry and hot for stalking and camo. gear. 



The season could be shortened. 



Two weeks between archery and rifle season. 



I feel too many hunters that bow hunt are disturbing the elk ' s 

 mating season; should restrict hunting to later date in season. 



There are too many unskilled archers hunting. A one eyed 

 quadreplegic can kill game with a rifle, but bow hunters must be 

 skilled, and many are not!!! 



Compound bows tend to wound and pass clean through and most 

 people don't know how to track because it's too dry. 



I like to bow hunt, but I think hunting bull elk during the rut 

 interferes with their breeding habits . 



Archery is either sex; hunt is during bulls' bugle time; all the 

 roads are left open. 



Too many hunters . 



Too many hunter and not enough elk. 



Time of year; I feel it's hard on the elk herds. I would like it 

 moved to a week after general season. 



Because some areas are closed to bow hunters and they are good 

 hunting spots . 



Early archery ruins the early rifle bugle season; should be 

 opened at same time. 



Increased popularity; need to charge more for archery fees. 



Not enough trophy elk available. 



I would like a late season December 1 to January 1. 



I feel that you should either be able to bow hunt or rifle hunt, 

 not both. 



An archery hunter should receive a "B" tag either sex deer with 

 purchase of an archery stamp; B tag is for archery only 

 statewide. 



Why not more late season deer hunts with a bow? (December, 

 January) .
