4. FEWER REGULATIONS. 



I have to view this sort of survey with some suspicion. However, 

 if it helps manage wildlife populations it's okay. I would 

 oppose any restrictions to archery that are not based on wildlife 

 populations. By having the freedom of choice we can manage our 

 own hunting ex perience . 



There is an opinion that seems to prevail among Game Departments 

 across this country. They seem to feel that they must think up 

 new and restrictive laws to improve hunting. This viewpoint is 

 entirely in the area of archery but is equally wrong in other 

 management considerations. Placing restrictions does not curb 

 poaching. It only causes poachers to be more creative and 

 hamstrings the tax paying sportsman. Please spend our money 

 catching professional poachers and improving habitat. 



Archery hunting does not significantly affect big game 

 populations so give us more opportunity. Longer seasons will 

 reduce bowhunter numbers . 



Please stopthis movement of introducing wolves in this state. 

 Let sportsmen use our elk and deer, not wolves. 



I strongly feel that any restrictions placed on archery seasons 

 and hunters have no real value. Most bowhunter s are just people 

 who like to get in the woods more often than just rifle season to 

 hunt. I feel if tighter restrictions were imposed it would just 

 mean low hunter morale and no significant increase or decrease in 

 game levels. 



Dont ' start adding more crapy rules than you already have!! 



Don't complicate archery hunting with too many regulations and/or 

 restrictions . 



We do need to have a crossbow season for elk and deer. 



Eliminate restriction (special permit) on north side of CMR 

 Wildlife Refuge. This would reduce recent pressures to south 

 side. 



Alot of these questions tend to ask for the archers to put 

 themselves in a box that would take all the fun out of archery 

 hunting. Why do you feel the need to continually add 

 restrictions? Archery hunting is a wonderful and challenging 

 sport - don ' t ruin that for us ! ! 



Also, you start off asking for this to be completed by telling 

 us about the drawing. However, nowhere in this booklet do you
