Its time we stop thinking of the dollars and start thinking about 

 our game. There is a lot of game being taken with a gun during 

 archery season. Let get back to the serious hunter and put a 

 stop to sum of these then. 



Need more officers in the field during archery season. To many 

 multiple animals being taken without anyone noing about it. 



I would like to see more lawenforcement during hunting season to 

 enforce existing laws (tag checks )etc. 



Also the abuse of closed roaded areas (green dot) etc. 



No to crossbows because of the potential use by slob hunters. 

 Archery as it is now takes skill, dedication, and hardwork. But 

 the rewards are worth it. 



I would liek to see a harder punishment on poachers, an on "bow 

 hunters" who have to use a rifle first. Over all I like archery 

 season the way it is. 



I reported an aircraft that was being used in spotting elk so 

 they could be driven back onto private land, that was charging 

 $200.00 a day to hunt. I witnessed the push of the gam eby 

 personnel dressed as hunters . 



I appreciate the work you are doing. I only wish the state could 

 hire more wardens . 



I did not receive a cover letter in this package. 



I don ' t think land owners that charge to hunt on their land 

 should be able to file for crops damaged. 



I think if laws are tougher and are enforced. It will make 

 hunting better for the real sportsmen in Montana. 



I hunt legally either with bow or rifle in season but it is very 

 distressing to ahve Ivie with the amount of poaching and game 

 violations that I see in this area by locals and out of state 

 hunters. I realize our local game wardens are stretched to the 

 breaking point. I have reported numerous violations and kills, 

 on the spot and have yet to get a response. These violaters are 

 robbing me and you. Please authorize some more game protectors 

 for this area. 



I have had many chances at deer but they are very stunted in 

 Bitterroot Valley area. Elk in are are pathetic spicemens . To 

 much timber butchery going on in area. It's sad and getting 

 worse. Also, much vehicular and aircraft harasement going on. 

 Bikes and 3-wheelers should be outlawed. Not enough law
