OVERALL I AM PRETTY SATISFIED WITH HUNTING IN GENERAL. IF 

 ANYTHING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE STRICTER ENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONS. 

 I UNDERSTAND THAT MANPOWER IS LOW, BUT WHAT GOOD ARE RULES IF 

 THERE NOT ENFORCED, MAYBE PRICES COULD BE RAISED TO ENABLE THE 

 DEPARTMENT TO HIRE PART TIME HELP DURING THE SEASONS. 



Archers who hunt on private-posted land should have a fine that 

 is triple what it is for the general season, as they are harder 

 to catch -no shot to be heard. They are being dropped off & 

 picked up at a specific time, so land owners can;t even spot a 

 car on their property. 



Stiff er archery regulations will not help number's of animals, 

 without stopping poachers & stiffer regulations in the general 

 season too. As of now there are not enough wardens in the feild 

 to stop poaching. We need more wardens not regulations. 



I think there is a nedd for all archery kills to be reported 

 (like you do for sheep) and throughly checked out to make sure 

 they were taken legally. Also if hunter (archery) numbers 

 continue to grow, some system will have to be developed to limit 

 hunter numbers . 



I was to busy to get some real hunting in but enjoy it when ever 

 I can go. I would like to see a check station once in a while I'v 

 never seen one during archery season in our area leaves it wide 

 open for poachers, also no horses execpt for packing out 



I feel that archery hunting is fine but I feel that after a 

 archory kill it must be mandtory to have it checked thur to 

 confirm arrow cause of death - to many hunters are using rifles 

 to fill there archory stamp- 



IN THE AREA I HUNTED (380) I BELIEVE THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF 

 POACHING. I ALSO BELIEVE THE SAME WAS TRUE FOR THE AREAS EAST OF 

 TOWNSEND. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FINES INCREASED FOR POACHING AND 

 ALL PROPERTIES OF THE INDIVIDUALS FOUND GUILTY OF POACHING 

 CONFISCATED AND AUCTIONED TO THE PUBLIC. THESE PROPERTIES WOULD 

 INCLUDE ANYTHING USED AT THE TIME OF POACHING -TRUCK-RIFLE ECT. 

 PROCEEDS TO GO TO FISH & GAME LAW ENFORCEMENT NO HUNTING FOR AT 

 LEAST 5 YEARS. 



THIS YEAR WAS UNUSUAL BECAUSE I WAS DRAWN FOR A SPECIAL BULL ELK 

 PERMIT IN THE CMR DIST-622 AND DID NOT BOW HUNT MUCH BECAUSE I 

 WANTED TO HUNT IN DIST.622. I WOULD NORMALLY HUNT ELK "20 DAYS 

 AND SPEND CONSIDERABLY MORE MONEY. 



1) WHAT THIS STATE REALLY NEEDS IS MORE ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL. 

 RAISE LICENSE FEES TO PAY FOR MORE WARDENS! 



2) ALSO, METHODS OF "ESTIMATING" HARVEST FIGURES ARE EARFROM 

 SATISFACTORY. 



3) REGS RE: PROOF OF SEX & IMMEDIATE TAGGING OF ANIMAL AT THE 

 KILL SITE NEED REVISION. TAG SHOULD BE MARKED IMMEDIATELY BUT
