enforcement or supervision. 



1) Licences could be required to be worn on back, if things get 

 any worse during rifle seasons. More abuses then. 



We need more bulls! Also more defined laws on use of motorized 

 vehicles on private and public land-also enforcement 



I feel the Yellowstone river should be patrolled better in 

 archery season because of trespass violations on private land. 



I elk hunted early archery season in the McKillop Rd. area off 

 Hwy 2. I felt the biggest obstacle to success was all the 

 poaching with rifles, especially at night, that occurred the week 

 prior to archery season opening and during archery season. I 

 heard numerous shots, however unfortunately was not lucky enough 

 to come across any poachers. All in all, though, I enjoyed the 

 archery season, and am looking forward to hunting in 1988. 



I feel game related violations should be substantionally, $1,000 

 is hardly much of a fine for killing a big bull illegally, 

 $10,000 would be much more appropriate. An out-of-state hunter, 

 such as the ones last year that were hunting iwth the outfitter 

 outside of Missoula killing bulls and leaving them lay and going 

 after bigger ones, were caught and had to put up about $3000 in 

 bail money when they skipped bail. The judge ruled they would 

 keep the bail money as a fine and that would be sufficient for 



the killing of several bulls, thats bull !! Why weren't these 



guys brought back to MT held for trial put in jail for 6 months, 

 fined $20,000 and made life hell for them, but no $3,000 all a 

 bunch of bulls are worth to people who don't hunt them I So in a 

 sense all were telling people is bring a extra grand and you can 

 kill all the bulls you see. 



Poaching is a big problem int he Anacond MT. area! ! ! 



We need mroe enforcement personel, present officers are over 

 worked and under paid. 



There shoudl be more game wardens in the field. I have been 

 hunting for 11 years in the Area around Potomac and I met (1)! I 

 hunt a good many hours and should see more than that. 



I firmly believe that if hunting pressue continues to increase 

 during the bugling season, that changes need to be implimented. 

 Such as a late post general season archery season. More hunters 

 out in the woods later may also help curb poaching. We need more 

 geime wardens in our areas 1 1 ! 



There is too many unethical bow hunters! In area 100 there is a 

 problem with Idaho people hunting in Mont, wothout a license.
