nearest game warden-Ranger station or other designated point such 

 as truck stops - gas stations weigh stations etc. this would 

 give F&G exact harvest numbers, help check poaching 

 This system of Validating Bagged Game works! 



Give the warden's more freedom. Running out of gas $ or holding 



to ' hours '. (worked) - it doesn't get it. 



Beaverhead co . is a big county 



I never saw a warden this year. ( bow or rifle season) 



CRM was buzzing with light aircraft this year and there were some 

 poachers shooting rifles also, since 623 became special permit 

 the pressure has decreased but so has the partoling and this 

 years it was a free-for-all 



I have bow hunted for 12 years. It seems to me that if you wanted 

 to cut back it would be on gun hunting. I am very concerned about 

 my freedom to bow hunt. I have 2 close relatives and a good 

 friend, who are all game wardens for the state and Federal game 

 wardens. And we all get very of when people take it upon 

 themselves to run our hunting with a bow. Bows were around before 

 anyone even thought about guns. If we want to do something lets 

 get these stupid people that dont know mules from mule deer and 

 get the rifles out of there hands. also god bless our 

 conservation offices and game wardens. They are doing a great job 

 as far myself and my hunting friends are concerned. 



While bearing in the Pryor Mountains, I was questioned by a game 

 warden residing in Red Lodge. He was courteous, friendly and a 

 pleasure to have to deal with. 



All Fish and Game officers should treat people the way this man 

 did. This one meeting added greatly to my respect for the 

 Montana Fish and game. 



The State of Montana Owns More land than they can efficently 

 Manage Now. So Raising License fee's to purchase More Land is Not 

 the Anwser to the. Hunters from the Cities, demands of free 

 Access and unlimited hunting Privilages . The Sportsmen 

 Associations & clubs in Montana are made up Mostly of Urban 

 dwellers who insist upon antagonizing the Landowners at every 

 opportunity. Yet they are continually Howling for free Access I 

 am Not a Landowner, but I work on a Ranch and every Hunting 

 Seasons we are continually chasing Poachers and Tresspassers who 

 do not even stop and Ask to hunt, these So called Sportsmen 

 are 98% from the Larger Cities in the State. My whole Point is 

 that The Regulations are fine as they are. Enforcement is NOT . To 

 few Wardens To Cover To large an Area. Thank You 



Poaching needs much greater attention in Montana. Some how 

 through more game wardens or some other means poaching needs to 

 be slowed down and eventually stopped.
