My initial hostile and uncooperative reaction to this survey when 

 I read about it in the Big. Gazzette was completely reversed by 

 my MBA newsletter which strongly encouraged and promoted full 

 cooperation. I sincerely hope this helps archery hunting in 

 Montana for Montanans. 



Don't appreciate some of Bias Questions in this survey. 



It is evident that these questions are definitely directed to be 



used against bowhunters , 



The articles in #8 are for the birds. 



You should do this every year. 



This is a good survey. We need to keep Archery Hunting in 

 Montana. This is important. 



Last year was my first year bowHunting and it was Great! I saw 

 lots of whitetail deer very close but no luck getting any thanks 

 for this survey! P.S. I did get my First w/Rifle though. 



Enjoy seeing a survey of the archery season in Montana. 



I feel this survey is biased aginst Archers & Archery hunters . I 

 feel a suvey of this type should have been writen and 

 Administered by archery hunters not government buracrats . 



I feel that Questionnaire's should Be sent out at least every 2 

 year to fined out how efective the Different seasons effect the 

 animals. 



I think this was worth the ink & like what you are doing. 

 Send me one next year. 



I feel this is a very prejudice survey, which I first considered 

 ignoring completely. 



If questions such as, how many elk did you shoot at?, and how 

 many did you hit?, are asked of Bow Hunters they should also be 

 asked of Rifle hunters or not at all! The implied question of 

 part III appears to be how many animals did you wound! Looking 

 at sheer numbers and the type of hunting rifles offer, I'm sure 

 many more animals are maimed in this way than numerous archery 

 seasons combined. I answered the survey, although as a memver of 

 the Billings Rod and Gun Club we were to oppose it, I feel 

 constructive input is better than no input! 



I feel this survey was a good idea to get some input from the 

 archery hunters 



I think this a very good Idea.
