Some good hunting areas (public) are blocked by private parties. 



Too many hunters at one time. 



Small elk herd. 



A person should not be able to hunt elk with gun and bow. 



Would like longer late season hunt. 



Numbers too low, too many bulls killed, and calves and yearlings. 



Some areas should be strictly limited to archery with no rifle 

 permits issued. 



Tough to get access. 



I would like to hunt the permit areas at Fort Peck but have not 

 been successful in drawing a permit. 



I would like to see my area restricted to spikes one year then 

 branch antlered bulls. There are way too many spikes. 



In our area (447) elk are herded by 4 x 4 into private land where 

 fees are charged to hunt. 



Like to see more game - better access to prime country. I don't 

 mind roads. I do mind sections being logged off and loss of 

 habitat. 



Weather too warm; change hunt to December to January. 



Big herds are in wilderness or on private property, not easily 

 hunted. 



Don't see any elk. 



I and my companions did not encounter a single elk this year. 



Most elk herds are on private land. 



I think populations have been depleted to dangerously low levels. 



Not enough managed herds on public land with access available. 



Quality of trophy elk. 



I do not like to be limited to one hunting district. 



Game population is low and access is a big problem unless you 

 know the right people. 



The area I hunt near home has few elk and many hunters.
