I feel this survey is totally anti-Bowhunters . Most questions 



reflect restriction. No where does it permit or reflect 



Bowhunters opinion or suggestions on improving the Archery Season 



or Hunting. Next time you take a survey put Bowhunters on the 



panel that makes up the survey and include all animals that are 



Hunted in Montana. 



I have used archery equipment all of my life but I enjoy hunting 



with rifles and enjoy collecting them. What my whole message to 



the commission is: I Love Hunting . 



Hunting with a Bow provides me with more of a oppurtunity for the 



type of hunt I like. 



Not just provideing an animal to kill. 



The kill to me is not important. But the standard, or quality 



you yourself impose is what counts. 



In Reference to Question Number 8 Part D I choose to oppose it. 

 If the majority of the $20 (increased fee for Archery Stamp) went 

 to aquiring leased land or purchasing land for Archery only 

 area's then I would favor it wholehearted. Im glad to see 

 through this questionare that the Fish & Game is f inallyl taking 

 an interest in the opinions of the people who pay thier wages and 

 Montana ' s Bowhunters . 



Dont Send me any of this garbage any more. 



I have trouble with the questions relative to favoring or 

 opposing rule on policy changes. Without an explanation of what 

 the problem is or what the opportunity is, I have difficulty 

 favoring change. I think this section weakens the effectiveness 

 of the questionaire. 



I wonder what the point of this survey is? I also wonder why the 

 attitude of Rifle hunters is not surveyed. 



Thank you for the research in to archery for the future 

 generations . 



I feel that this is a good idea. And I hope you get a lot of 

 responce. Well I hope I get a good chance to get a elk next 

 year. 



I don't feel secret areas should specifically be pinpointed in 

 any surveys et. publications, because it would ruin the solitude 

 of the experience! You want information which could specifically 

 destroy a district if published or was made available to the 

 public . 



-First of all this is a very good questionaire-I hope it is 

 helpful . 



-An archery only or rifle only choice would not hurt my feelings 

 at all.
