I would like to see the Ruby range open for elk hunting and 

 shooting of all spikes. 



Access is limited in some areas and congests hunters. 



Very few trophy size bulls. 



Bugling season needs to be longer. 



It's becoming too congested. 



Bull populations are low, thus cow/calf ratios are low. There 

 are many unbred cows . 



Decline in area and habitat. 



Too many hunters; not enough bulls in proportion to cows. 



Population densities are low and hunter pressure and quantity is 

 increasing dramatically. 



Too much logging activity in my area interferes with the rutting 

 of the elk. 



The season is not long enough to allow elk to herd up and 

 migrate . 



Not enough animals per area. 



Need more trophy animals . 



Too much vehicle access to hunting areas due to the current land 

 management practices of the state and Forest Service. 



Limited to one area. 



No effort is being made to save the spikes to improve mature elk 



population. 



We need bigger herds and a better cow/bull ratio. 



Need to close roads during archery season. 



Again more time; it would be good to have a two week break 

 between bow and rifle season but I voted against it because it 

 would take a week away from bow instead of adding one. 



The population of animals is declining. 



Too many untrained, casual bow hunters are wounding animals. 



Not enough elk. 



Too many nonserious hunters.
