Should make more areas trophy hunting only, no cows or small 

 bulls taken. 



Elk are too sparsely scattered, don't see many elk. 



More land access and less fee hunting. 



The hunting is wonderful ! the shooting or the chance to shoot elk 

 is slim at best I 



Difficult to pack into areas unless you own a horse. 



I am somewhere between yes and no because it is getting harder to 

 find medium to large bulls in my area. 



Not good weather and I haven't seen a bull elk this year. 



I don't feel they should have closed the north side of the 

 Missouri River (CMR) , permit only other than that yes. 



We need more archery only areas throughout the state for the full 

 season. 



The major herds are on private property that charge to hunt in 

 the closer areas. 



Too many nonqualified hunters, anybody with a bow can be out 

 there with no ability to make a clean kill. 



Because all areas should be open without special permits. 



Not enough public land tags available, to much private (no 

 hunting) land. 



I don't even know anybody who has taken an elk with a bowl 



Bugling has dropped off in the last five years. I did not hunt 

 elk much this year. 



Because I live too far from the good hunting. 



Too many hunters, too much pressure on elk. Season could be 

 longer. Afraid I will not be drawn for Missouri Breaks. 



out of staters! 



Tough public access to private land near Great Falls. 



Too many hunters, too much pressure on elk. Afraid I won't be 

 drawn for Missouri Breaks. Season could be longer for fewer 

 dedicated hunters . 



Again we have too many buglers " . . this can and has disturbed 

 elk movement and breeding patterns . "
