ATV'S. 



Make more specific knowledge to areas open to either sex. 



Because with my job I don't get a chance to hunt enough. 



I feel there are too many elk wounded and left to die. 



Western Montana has the habitat to produce a tremendouss elk 

 population. Let's restrict rifle season to bulls only or branch 

 antlered only. Similar restrictions elsewhere in state. 



Didn't see any elk. 



Not enough elk in northwest area of the state. 



Not enough bulls. 



Couldn't find any to shoot. 



People firing guns at the same time. 



Because the area north of Fort Peck was restricted to permit 

 hunting. 



They are getting harder to find and get to (private land etc.). 



Need access to more state land. 



Not enough elk. 



Trophy animals are few and far between. Too many nonresident 

 hunters . 



Need better populations with more trophies in public land. 



With the amount of hunters during the rut, it is disrupting the 

 breeding. 



Because areas are more and more restricted access. I have had to 

 but horses, trailer and tack to hunt where I used to responsibly 

 drive my 4x4 on roads . 



As a bowhunter of thirteen years, I've noticed drastic changes in 

 responsiveness to the bugle. 



Feel there isn't enough elk in northwest Montana for what the 

 habitat can support. 



Needs to be lengthened. 



Too many inept hunters in the field, just as in rifle season.
