The season could be extended by allowing three weeks of hunting 

 in December. 



Too long. 



I don't feel that bow hunting is used to its full potential as a 

 game management tool . 



Too many dilettante archers. 



It eliminates too many of the larger breeding bulls. 



It should be one week longer and rifle season should start one 

 week later. 



Bird season starts at the same time, and in high altitudes where 

 deer and elk summer bird hunters are alerting big game to 

 hunters . 



The Ruby 324 was closed. 



Difficult to get into private lands along river bottoms. 



Cannot obtain permission to hunt on private lands. 



Too many nonserious bowhunters . 



I think inexperienced and excited hunters are wounding too many 

 elk. 



The government and state still close off too many roadways for 

 getting deeper into the mountains . 



There should be an open tag for antelope. 



I want to archery hunt sheep, moose, and goats during an archery 

 season without orange. 



Nonresidents should not be allowed to bow hunt I And no wood 

 cutting should be allowed. 



Hunting clubs like the bow club in Malta get ranchers to allow 

 them exclusive rights to early season hunts on BLM land they 

 lease. 



I would like to see a longer season. 



Not enough bulls; need to protect spikes 1 



Too many temporary archers; we need an either/or season.
