gun season. Let the spikes mature and take there place in the 

 ecosphere, a raghorn may breed. 



I feel that spike bulls should be legal game for archery hunters. 

 I am a meat hunter only. 



I was not informed correctly as to where the elk were because of 

 the warm weather. 



Too many nonspike areas . 



I feel general elk population in our area could be significantly 

 increased by decreasing road construction. 



Too many all-terrain vehicles. 



The Fish and Game are killing way to much of everything. 



We would all like to see more elk. 



Need a week later in October. 



Too many outfitters. 



The cunount of trophy bulls and bull to cow ratio is low. 



Too many herd bulls are killed, leaving too many dry cows. 



Not enough elk, especially bulls; too many spike bulls killed 

 each year. 



Too many Johnny come latelies, have more competition than rifle 

 season when gates are closed. Make it either/or - or close more 

 gates . 



Grouse season opens same time. 



Northwestern Montana - No cows in rifle season; no cows equals no 

 bulls! Game is scarce - too many roads in this area (102). 



Too many bulls taken during archery season. 



I'd like to see a few more areas having excess cows opened for 

 late archery hunts . 



There are a lot of elk, but there are too many people bugling 

 from 4x4. 



Too much logging and increased road and traffic in elk breeding 

 areas. 



Too many hunters, always bugling, and not enough big bulls. 



Because there are not as many elk and at Slippery Arm they run 

 them with airplanes .
