based soley on hearsay and mythology, not solid facts. I 

 appreciate our archery season very much. Most serious, hard-core 

 bowhunters do, too. All we ask is that we retain what 

 opportunities we now enjoy, we don't want more. 



I fell some of the questions in this survey are "loaded", 

 and I sincerely hope you don't decide to use them against us, 

 without at least making the same comparison with gun hunting, 

 using the same questions, (such as "How many elk didi you hit ?) 

 We all know a hit does not mean a kill , with the bow and arrow. 



Thank you for your concern for future of bow hunting. 



I would like to hear what decisions and results from this survey 

 are concluded from it. 



I'm glad you are making this survey and I hope you will send me 

 the results and also please let the sportsman make the final 

 decision on changing there season. 



I think some of your questions are loaded to give statistical 

 numbers that are not true. Most bowhunters would like to see 100 

 Elk a day that are bulls so they will want more elk in an area. 

 The hunter who doesn't see an elk will think its because there 

 are no elk. Chances are he is just a noisy hunter. Part II #8 

 These questions are too much like they are based on Washington 

 states laws. From this survey you should be able to to say about 

 anything you want to change the laws .
