I didn't see the survey, but I'd say they need to separate the hunts more as has been stated.
I had a limited archery tag this year and the last 4 days of the hunt were the best 4 days for bugling action, and seeing elk, but... they were filled with rifle hunters rolling in to set up camp, and driving around the hills calling and messing with the elk while us guys were trying to seal the deal on a bull before our hunt ended.
We need to have some time between hunts so that we don't get crowded out by the next season's tagholders. Most guys show up 2-4 days early, so at least give 4-5 days between hunts.
I also agree that the archery needs to be extended to capture a little more of the rut.
Move the rifle hunt into October after the muzzleloader hunt. No sense in having it in prime rut. I'm not a diehard archer either. I just think we need to adjust it a little to get it right.
I'm not sure on the spike hunts. I can take them with the archery season, as I only saw a few killed with bows. (my 13 year old daughter had a spike tag, and hunted right alongside me on my limited bull tag almost every day of the season. We had a blast, and thought the spike action was better than the big bull action till the last 4 days of the hunt. She didn't get one, but did get a few shots.) But the rifle hunts look like they will be bad for the herds. I'm afraid that in some units the spikes will be pounded and a whole age class will be severely overharvested.
I'm sure there are lots of other ideas, but I think these would be better than the alternatives.
