east (Montana) and can't get off work to go hunt. 



Herd populations are down and poor private land and public 

 overgrazing are taking elk out of normal areas. 



I would like to see more animals. 



Archery hunting disturbs the elk causing them to leave certain 

 areas . 



Not enough big bulls. 



Too vast of an area to cover in such a short time. 



I believe the elk population could be increased. 



Too many horse access only are too hard to walk in to. 



Need more access to public grounds - too many barriers. 



I would like to see more elk around. 



I would like to see a longer season and more trophy animals. 



There is not enough elk I . 



There is too much access being closed off. 



I haven't gone yet, but I hope to. 



There are too many hunters allowed in the CMR. 



No quality animals are left. 



Most large populations are tied up by private land or poor access 

 to Forest Service land. 



Need more trophy class animals in all areas. 



It's hard to get access to prime elk country. 



There are too many people hunting. You should charge more for 

 the out of state hunters. They can afford it at any price. 



Bow and rifle don't mix. 



More elk and less cattle grazing in hunting area. 



Good areas are leased by outfitters and public land is locked out 

 by private landowners . 



They are taking too many mature bulls from one area and not 

 leaving much for breeding.
