elk. 



Population, access closures by landowners to public land. 



Adult animals are in very short supply (males). 



Not many animals accessible by foot. I can't afford horses, 

 guides, etc. Most land is locked up. 



The rut is too disturbed by archers in some areas . I would 

 rather hunt in December. 



In the Gardiner area I have watched the bull population be 

 destroyed . 



I don't like to hunt elk. 



Vehicle problems in forest; lack of public access in certain 

 areas ; ignorance among hunters . 



Low populations . 



The population is just not there. 



Not enough game ratio to number of hunters in my area. 



The area I hunt in 110 was logged off in 1987 destroying natural 

 habitat . 



Elk populations seem to be low in district 130. 



I don't feel there are as many elk as a few years ago. 



Too many nonserious bow hunters spooking deer and elk. 



Need more animals . 



Not enough animals. 



There's just not enough game out there. 



Elk need more open high meadows . 



I would like to see more elk transplanted in distrcit 100 and 

 101. 



Too many slob hunters; too many outfitters in the few good bow 

 hunting areas . 



Need more bulls. 



Not enough trophy bulls. 



Season is too short. I think it should run almost into rifle
