Number are up, competition moderate 



because it is so hard to get them you really have to try 



We have a liberal season lots of public land and healthy Elk 

 populations 



Fish & Game is giving pretty ec[ual time for archery as they are 

 for rifle 



but would be nice to have better acess to some areas but 

 generally good hunting 



no changes necessary 



IT COINCIDES WITH BUGLING SEASON, GREATLY IMPROVING CHANCES FOR 



SUCCESS. 



Because you can hunt either sex and hunt with rifle either or 



NICE WEATHER AND SEE MORE GOOD BALLS 



I see alot of elk when I hunt. Ratio of Bulls to cows is goodl 



LONG SEASONS - NO CONGESTION - LOTS OF GAME 



Yes and no because I think the Elk hunting is diminishing except 

 in true wilderness areas. 



BUT, NEED MORE ACCESS TO PUBLIC LANDS 



See elk every time I go and in every district. 



Early season, great weather and a real challange 



The quality at this time is good due to many things, but balance 

 is fragile 



I've hunted for 25 years with a bow, in Idaho & Montana, Montana 

 isnt as good as it was 5 to 10 years ago to meany outfitters here 



ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE MORE ACESS TO PUBLIC LAND IN ISOLATED SPOTS 

 SHOULD BE MADE ie( MOSTLY LAND SURROUNDED BY PRIVATE LAND) 



time of season is correct 



I hunt primarily for trophy animals . so do very little shooting 



Many oporutunities to see and harvest game 



I enjoy being able to have the privledge of bugling Elk 



I think we have a good population of elk in MT 



I'VE SEEN MORE GAME ARCHERY HUNTING THAN I ever have rifle
