I'm for managing for quality rather than just quantity (at least 

 in some areas ) . 



The 1987 season would have been better if the temperature was 

 cooler and wetter. 



I would have liked to have seen more elk. 



Too much access; not enough roadless areas. 



Not enough elk. 



I'm optomistic though, as I see more and more areas with 

 restrictions on spikes. 



Compound bows are easy to use and bring out more slob hunters. 



Not enough chance to shoot cows . 



This year was a freak, therefore we should have been able to hunt 

 when the deer were out. 



Too much competition from rifle hunters for geime. 



Season is too short. 



I feel some elk breeding areas should be off limits too bow 

 hunting. 



Elk concentrated on private or closed land. 



I would like to see hunting pressure decreased. 



The Department's policy of allowing spike bulls to be shot during 



all of rifle season. 



Shorten season but extend after rifle season. 



Too many hunters in one area kill too many mature bulls. 



Larger elk herds . 



Shorten season but extend after rifle season. 



Not enough elk. 



Having to apply for permit at Fort Peck when we live in this part 

 of the state. Large amount of out of state hunters at Fort Peck 

 CMR refuge. 



There aren't any elk. 



No access to private ground.
