I think hunting in Montana is very good compared to other states. 

 If Montana can figure a way to keep the animals population up 

 maybe when my son is old enough to hutn, he will have the same 

 chances or better by the time he is able to hunt and also have a

 for archery only season. I would propose this time to come in 

 late August. 



Only thing I'm concerned aobut in choosing your weapon is that I

I think that logging priv. should be more restricted. As logging

I didn't get to hunt near as much as I usually do because I
