Too many closed areas for no reason other than getting money for 

 permits . 



I don't like the drawing set up in some areas. 



Low huntable numbers . 



I used to huntelk in the Highwoods, but the big increase of 

 cattle ranging there changed it drastically! 



All of the areas I hunt were unaccessible to get to for hunting. 



Saw very few bulls in 1987 season. Bulls have been bugled to 

 death and don't respond to bugling anymore. 



Season should be longer - later. 



I started in 1965 when I went with all rifle hunters and we took 

 big bulls. Now there's more elk and less big bulls. 



Season should start a week later and run longer. 



Season not long enough. 



There should be a minmum draw weight and proficiency test should 

 be administered before licensed. 



Not enough mature bulls. There are too many spikes killed during 

 rifle season. 



It's getting to be a rich man's game. 



Poor. 



A total lack of huntable population. 



Poor management of elk herds by Montana Fish and Game. 



Need higher population in districts 100 and 101. 



Bear and moose gun season open at same time. 



I do nol: feel there are enough trophy bulls in the area I hunt. 



Not a large elk population in my area as compared to others . 



We need to hunt later so we can trail in the snow. 



No access to excellent hunting lands. 



No big bulls, too few bull to cow ratio. 



All the low country elk are on private land.
