Choosing areas like 700 for archery takes away your first rifle 

 choice. 



Weather in early season is a big factor. 



There is very little access to public lands that the good native 

 herds use to rut. 



Public ground is not as good trophy hunting as in the past. 



Various weather conditions from season to season, and the length 

 of season is too short. 



Too much bugling. 



Various weather conditions from year to year doesn't help bugling 

 in most areas, and the season is too short. 



Not enough game, access to hunting is limited. 



Nonresident and unknowledgeable hunters are pursuing elk. 



Interferes with crucial elk mating. 



There are too many inexperienced or inadequate hunters and too 

 many out of state hunters . They should be forced to prove their 

 hunting skill, as should we all. 



I don't like picking one district. 



Ranchers don't like it. 



BLM. state, and U.S. Forest Service close vehicle access to good 

 hunting. (Hunter has no way of retrieving game when he is poor.) 



Elk seem to be scarce for the amount of area available. 



Because I have never hunted elk. 



All areas should be open to archers and there shouldn't be a 

 point system on bulls or bucks. 



Season should be shortened to two weeks . 



There are not enough elk in region 103. 



More just archery elk areas are needed. 

 Airplanes buzzing around! 



Stress on bulls, no good tracking at that time of year. 



Need a system to weed out the people who archery hunt only to 

 extend their season.
