ENFORCEMENT. 



To Dept. Fish, Wildlife and Park, I did not fill out your survey 

 because in the 88 season was approached by one of the wardens in 

 the upper Yellowstone and was treated like a criminal. Also if 

 you don't change your policies in Montana, hunting is coining to 

 an end. 



Although I'm new to hunting with a bow, I love it. The abundance 

 of game see is outstanding. I haven't killed anything yet, but 

 I'm very chosey. In my area (blunting) deer all summer goes on. 

 This I feel hurts and harasses the deer. I would like to see 

 this practice stopped, now! 



Need more game wardens, fewer biiologists ! Get rid of outfitters 

 set aside nonresident licenses. 



I believe that if you would put a 10,000 dollar fine on all elk 

 taken and not checked, you would get a better reading on what 

 goes on. There is no game check during archery season in our 

 area. If money isn't available deputize people who would work 

 for free while they are in the mountains. Last year I called an 

 outfitters hunter in during archery season. He was carrying a 44 

 mag and scope. Said I was just seeing how close I could get. Do 

 you believe that. I was 18 miles from the nearest road. Thanks 

 for taking the time to ask how I feel. 



I feel the wardens should stop treating all hunters like a fellow 

 until the hunter has proven he is innocent. Why do the wardens 

 assume a hunter has broken the law? This is not the way the 

 constitution is written! ! 



Combine areas 631 and 632 back the way it was - Combine the 

 permit total. Leave it alone!! 



My father and I helped plant the elk herd here in Glasgow, 

 Montana "South Valley County" . My family and I love to just go 

 out there to see the elk and deer, spring, summer, fall and 

 winter. I am an avid archery hunter and I want to preserve that 

 right along with my sons ability to be able to continue the hunt 

 for me when I am no longer able. We must get back our wardens to 

 control illegal kills with small rifles, non licensed hunters and 

 harasment with vehicles, horses and airplanes. We must protect 

 our herds!! Not parks! The " good quality hunt " is out, until 

 there is some control on the habitual law violators that exist in 

 South Valley and south Phillips County. 



I realize enforcement division is hampered by lack of funds, but 

 I favor a get tough policy on violations. 



I have run into dirt biker's terrorizing some hunting areas.
