Hunting during mating (bugle) season should be banned. Should 

 restrict to general season. 



I think the season should be shortened to two weeks . 



Out of area hunters are invading southwest Montana. 



Herds are decreasing. 



There seems to be an increase number of bow hunters who are not 

 educated in shooting (me) and tracking. 



Too many restrictions on land to hunt elk on; it's posted or 

 closed. 



I would like to see the early season shortened and maybe see a 

 late seson hunt. 



Residents should have preference. Drawings for Fort Peck areas 

 is not right. 



Insufficient protection for young bulls; too many nonarchers 

 hunting with bows . 



I believe more enforcement of fair chase should be enforced in 

 600 district. 



Too much emphasis on closing areas so that people that don't have 

 horses have to walk in or not go in. 



There are too many hunters and too little space. 



I don't believe in killing bulls in breeding season. 



Too many people. 



It is hard to get animals close enough. 



You just don't see any around Kalispell. 



Too many big bulls are killed early. 



Too much pressure on herd bulls during the bulge; wasted game. 



Itneeds to be moved to two week later in season then have rifle 

 season. 



Big bulls get away mortally wounded. 



Has unfair advantage over rifle season. 



Not enough elk. 



Too many out of state hunters.
