Limited access to the better hunting on private land is hard to 

 get on because of leasing to outfitters. 



There is not enough time, and not enough "legal" bulls. 



Not being allowed to hunt any size bull in certain areas. 



Too many are wounded because of poor shots taken and too small of 

 bow. 



There is too much pressure on big bulls . 



Area 324 and the surrounding areas should be open to bow hunting. 



Too many all terrain vehicles. 



There is too little access to public lands. Many elk habitat 

 areas are blocked from reasonable foot access by posted private 

 lands . 



Low number of bulls per cows; trophy bull quality is down. 



Low elk populations . 



Too many out of staters are here hunting out elk and screwing us 

 out of them. 



I would like to see a decrease in people who don't take the time 

 to hit what they aim at. 



More access to state and federal lands (tax payers land) . 



Seemingly low elk numbers; limited access to elk causing a 

 funneling of hunters. 



Montana FWP does an excellent job and I know you can't please 

 everyone but I'd like to see more archery only areas or post 

 seasons, or areas managed for trophies. Maybe drawing permit 

 only quality hunts is some areas. 



Have not spent much time hunting elk yet. 



Low populations in total, few mature bulls. 



Because the season is too short. 



Montana herds are increasing because of twins. Good artificial 



calls are disturbing the rut. 



Loss of access to public lands by private ownership of ranchers 

 and corporations . 



I saw too many out of state hunters and off road vehicles. 



The bull/cow ratio in the Crazy Mountains is bad; make it branch
