I bought a 1987 Bow license but did not get out but for only 

 three days. Bow hunting I've only been at for 3 years and I 

 haven't got anything but I love to Bow hunt. I've had alot of 

 chances at cows & does but I won't shoot one. I've hunted for 2 3 

 years and have always shot Bulls or Bucks. No real reason. 



I don't like to shoot elk with my bow but I do hunt them. I like 

 to bowhunt to start getting in shape for general season and also 

 to locate game animals. 



I don't like the season ending on Sat. I work out of Town all 

 week, get home late Fri. I hunt elk Sat. eve and Sun. morning. I 

 leave home for work Sun. evening, sometimes I have to work Sat. 

 I would like to have that last Sunday back. 



I would like to see more control on Rifle season also. I am all 

 for the preservation of our wildlife. But it has to be a joint 

 effort from us. Government, & landowners. All the money you can 

 get won't make any difference with out that. 



In general my Archery season is very good. 



I only have a few minor complaints. Amature hunters we call 



pilgrims and not enough large bull elk. 



I suppose there are a certain number of people that would like 

 the archery hunting all for themselves which can be accomplished 

 by limiting the number of people by high fees, limited access and 

 a number of other regulations which I oppose so that archery 

 belongs to everyone. Sure there are problems associated with 

 archery, the same as with any sport involving people, but please 

 don't make any hasty decisions without listening to us, the 

 people. I appreciate this opportunity to be heard. Thank you. 



I've heard a lot of Bull from those who do not hunt w/bow, 



about all the elk & deer they find wounded, etc. These mal- 

 contents are usually "road hunters" who wouldn't or couldn't 

 stalk & walk for any distance, and who are green w/envy that bow 

 hunters can hunt before they can. I submit that most wounded 

 game is by rifle toters shooting at impossible ranges, and at 

 unclear game animal targets. X don't shoot unless I know where 

 my bullet will hit! 



In addition, I see no really valid reason for any of question #8. 

 None of the people I talk with who are archers agitate for any of 

 those absurd proposals. I strongly suspect aaain that it is 

 those who won't expend the energy, or who can't command the 

 skills necessary, who are most virulently whining and carping to 

 try to cause these merit less ideas to be adopted, and to what 

 profit? 



I only hunt for branch antler bulls with my bow, but I like 

 having the option of shooting either sex. Some year I may want 

 to shoot a cow or spike. I have been able to get 10 bulls in the 



13
