Limited elk population in local area. Hard to find the time 

 necessary. 



Because of wounded and lost game. 



Not enough elk. 



It's playing hell in some areas during breeding. 



I don't like the sound of shotguns while I'm archery hunting in 



the mountains . 



I think that there is not enough bulls; should have to draw bull 

 tags . 



Not enough trophy population, too much "bull only" hunting, 

 should be either sex in more areas . 



Not enough elk. 



In 290 there's a shortage of mature bulls to breed. 



Need bigger bulls. 



Season is too short. 



Limited access across private land. 



It's probably a balance at this point between archery and rifle 

 hunting but with the heavy hunting of bulls it appears that we're 

 reducing the game. 



Increase the overall elk population. 



Have not hunted elk. 



Didn't see any elk. 



I haven ' t got anything yet . 



Continuing reduction in six plus year old bulls available, 

 otherwise okay. 



I will be satisfied if I collect one elk - ever, with a bow. 



To a degree, increased guide and outfitter pressure in secure elk 

 areas have cut the population. 



Again special tags need to be given out more freely (Me, five 

 years yet to draw) . 



I never see one. 



It is too long, too early, and too many people out there don't
