Season need to be extended a week or two (bring rifle season in 

 later) . 



I feel the season should start later when it's cooler all the 

 time. The elk herd numbers are declining. 



Not enough elk. 



In the district I hunt it is overgrazed by cattle and there are 

 too many clearcuts, reducing elk numbers. 



Unable to get information on best hunting spots - no 

 knowledgeable personnel available for questions. 



Too many outfitters and out of state hunters; too much 

 destruction of summer thermal cover and crown cover by USFS and 

 new roads . 



I haven't killed anything yet! 



Becoming too congested and too many slob hunters who don't bother 

 to practice and become proficient. 



It's too easy to become an archery hunter. We need a competency 

 test or something to restrict the number of hunters. 



Because there are too many hunters concentrated in one area and 

 if one hunter bugles nobody know if it's real or fake. 



Because I think too much game spoils in the woods at that time of 

 year . 



Elk are very scarce in my area of Montana. 



I would like to see measures taken to increase the numbers of 

 "trophy bulls " . 



I feel there are too many hunters that disrupt the natural 

 bugling of an elk. This is done by the imitation bugling of 

 hunters . 



No enough trophy bulls in area 331 - closed to spikes in rifle 

 season. 



Found a lack of bulls and a high ratio of dry cows vs. wet cows. 



The Forest Service destroys habitat. Want late season hunt for 

 problem areas . 



Because you can't get away from wood cutters or grouse hunters, 

 tree planters, etc. 



No herd bulls - raghorns and spikes, with and breeding 35-50 cow
