Too many elk hunters . 



Seasons start and end too early! 



Too much private land, limits our access. 



Because there aren't enough elk around anymore. 



Loss of the breaks as an open area. 



It shouldn't be either sex. The entire Gallatin drainage should 

 be four point or better for elk to archers. 



Need to reopen hunting district 324 to archery hunting (planned 

 in 1988) . 



Elk are getting hassled too much during archery season. Also too 

 many elk are getting wounded during archery season. 



Too many wounded and lost elk. In some areas (open country), the 

 breeding elk are harassed too much. 



More and more access each year is being locked up. Prime elk 

 habitat is being altered or logged or is planning to be logged. 



Population density on open land is too low. Season is too early. 



Not long enough. 



Season should be longer. 



Too many hunters in area on first days. 



Too many people driving around instead of hiking or riding 

 horseback . 



Too much pressure, less access. 



Number of hunters has increased. 



Would like to see archery hunting only in September. 



Too many areas were restricted and the way the special drawing 

 are stated (must be first choice) . 



Don't care for drawing in areas. 



Archery hunters are wounding too many bull elk. They should have 

 some cows only. 



To many permits are given to out of state hunters. 



290 should be open during rifle season for elk (cow) .
