This questionare did not have much thought put into it. If I'm 

 eligible for the drawing how do you know who sent this in before 

 Feb. 15. 



Why didn't you start with a statement of the problem you are 

 trying to solve if there is one? Do gun hunters feel picked on? 

 Do you need more money? Do you believe there are too many 

 archeries, too large a harvest, too much harassment? 



The survey was rather general in some of its questions, Part II 

 #8, and depending on certain circumstances I might have answered 

 them differently, yet I realize that in order to keep this survey 

 brief you needed to make the questions a little more general. 

 Also, in Part III, I believe you could add a question about the 

 number of elk a hunter passed up due to certain circumstances. 

 If it's any help, I passed up 6 branch antlered bulls within 30 

 yards due to the shot angle possibly resulting in a porrly hit 

 animal instead of in a quick humane kill. 



I think the questions in this survey were good. 



This is an outstanding quesitonaire, and I hope my comments will 

 help. 



In part III, questions 9 & 10 are insulting. You are asking if I 

 am a slob hunter- I AM NOT A SLOB HUNTER! 



I think that your survey is a good idea and should be done every 

 season. The fact that a lot of archers will proubably fill this 

 out is great. But I'm sure a lot of us would prefer to see your 

 out come and what other archers feel would just like to see what 

 the response was . 



I appreciate the opportunity to respond. 



This survey is a great idea. It is my opinion that gun hunting 

 is the most detramental reason for fewer animals. These animals 

 need less pressure better habitat as well as more habitat. There 

 are too many roads in these areas and too few natural predators 

 for a large ehalthy population of elk and deer. 



♦Question #6 in Part II is the msot ridiculous and absurd idea I 

 have ever heard asked at any survey of sportsmen or game managers 

 in my life. 



This was a highly biased quesitonaire. Wording in it was such as 

 it seemed to make the archer seem a criminal. I filled this out 

 in common courtesy-not for your "incentives". If this 

 information is worded to go against us, you'd better prepare for 

 war.
