Elk populations seem too small; overcrowded and overhunted 

 perhaps . 



All the big bulls are killed during gun season, yet we get 

 blamed for it. 



Elk herds in Montana are really scattered and small. 



I would like to see an "either/or" hunting regulation - i.e. 

 rifle or bow. 



Not enough critters to shoot at (elk that is). 



I would like to see more late season areas opened in addition to 

 Porcupine/Levinski . 



It is probably due to two reasons: inexperience and area I hunted 

 this year (Deer Lodge area) . 



There should be either/or hunting with gun or bow to get rid of 

 people who can't shoot a bow. 



We need a longer season and more good hunters and sportsmen and a 

 few less bad ones. 



I would like less travel restrictions, not to road hunt but to be 

 able to access areas so I can hunt every day, like after work. 



Too many roads open. 



We can always use more elkl 



Limited elk populations in areas 101 and 100 along with early 

 moose rifle hunt. 



We need more bulls for the amount of cows. 



Too many uneducated, nonserious hunters ruining things for 

 dedicated hunters . 



Because up at CMR the number of permits was unlimited and all out 

 of state hunters applied. 



Because access to Forest Service and BLM land is closed off by 

 private land with no access or access by paying a cash fee. 



Where there is good hunting you can ' t get on the land because you 

 can't get permission, and for the good spots the tags go to the 

 out of staters. Also you have to pay for a hunting guide to find 

 any decent elk. 



Because I have never shot an elk with a bow. 



Lots of cows, few good bulls. Rifle hunters that draw a cow tag
