Most of the elk are young bulls (spikes & 2 points 



Too many people are bowhunting (and rifle hunting) 



Bird season opens the same day- 



As archery hunters have to pay extra, they should be allowed to 

 harvest during archery season andduring gun season 



SEASON IS DURING HOT WEATHER - WOULD LIKE TO SEE Split SEASON, 

 before & AFTER rifle SEASON 



Archery is ruining rifle season also crossbows should be legal 



WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LATE ARCHERY SEASON AFTER THE GENERAL GUN 

 SEASON 



Elk hunting area open all year with elk in only a small part of 

 it. 



Not enough Elk 



Too much hunting pressure KILLING off too many animals 



To much vehicel hunting Some archery hunting with snow for 

 tracking 



iT should be you hunt with archery or rifle only not both seasons 

 that way only the serious archer would buy a archery stamp 



I believe there should be a longer season, - start earlier. 



I feel archery season is taking too many mature bulls - we are 

 seeing too many barren cows - herds of 10 to 18 cows - no bulls & 

 only 3 or 4 calves . 



I feel the combination of the long season & great number of 

 hunters disrupt the breeding to much 



The season is to long and starts to early for the weather 

 conditions. 



WE NEED A LATE SEASON DECEMBER - JANUARY HUNT. 



It should be split with 2 weeks in Oct & 2-3 weeks in Dec 



Montana needs a late season. 



should be able to buy seperate tags for doe deer & antelope in 

 certain areas
