last ten years with a rifle so it lessens the pressure to get one 

 with a bow. 



I'm looking forward to the day when I get my first shot at an elk 

 with my bow - any elk! 



I would like to know why we pay $6 for a bow stamp on top of the 

 price of a deer tag and what it is used for. 



I have been an avid hunter since the age of 12 . Now that I am an 

 adult and married, my wife believes that shooting a precious deer 

 with a gun is just too easy. I'm in too archery really big now, 

 and plan to harvest most of my big game with a bow in the future. 

 Thank you! 



Make it snow during archery season!! 



Bowhunting is a quality recreational sport. Because I am 

 handicapping myself with simple equipment and because I am 

 limiting myself to only trophy animals, it is necesssary that I 

 get ample time to pursue my choices. Since bow hunting is 

 biologically a recreational pastime, the more hours I can spend, 

 the more I enjoy the sport. Thank you for that opportunity. 



I was satisfied with hunting this year. But would like to see 

 Public lands posted so a hunter knows whether he is on public or 

 private land. 



as president of our local archery club, I can't stress enough the 

 importance of practice, and understanding the animal your hunting 

 and patiance. 



I'm satisfied with hunting as it is, an it is not overly 

 expensive yet. But I don't feel that it should cost an over 

 abundance of money, and feel we are also helping keep the animal 

 population down. 



I used to hunt with bow a lot more than I have in the last 4 

 years, but backed off because I think the quality of the hunt has 

 gone downhill. Hunting antelope with bow is not related to Elk & 

 deer areas because you are resticted to separate areas & the 

 numbers are much higher. I still hunt with bow & arrow but 

 recently I've focused more attention toward species such as lion 

 St bear in Canado where it is legal to bait. By doing so I've 

 killed 1 lion & 3 bears in the last five years. 



I hope the number of illegaly taken game animals gets smaller and 

 smaller untill it eventually = 0! 



I think the main factor for succesful archey hunting - seeing Elk 

 and being able to get close - has been the weather - Temp - snowy 

 rainy - hot conditions-ect .
