commercialization. 



A heritaged right, is being stripped from the people, to be 

 reserved for the few - those with a vast amount of cash flow. 

 Survival of the richest? - Aye? 



Weather in 87 a little too warm - it messed up bugling period. 

 Lack of a good cold snap in September hurt. Saw a lot of 

 animals, but none by enough to shoot. 



I've been in Montana for 4 yrs and never seen an Elk except 

 Yellowstone. Can some info be put out. Like the standard price 

 for an outfitter or why can't MD of FW&P have a beginner's trip 

 to at least get us in the right area? Sometimes just seeing an 

 animal would be worth the trip. 



Any resident of Montana should be able to hunt any where with out 

 haveing to be in a special drawing or getting a special permit 

 for a certain area. 



We have had very dry season for the past two years . It's made 

 hunting tough. 



I am a member of the Montana Bowhunters Association and I feel 

 any dedicated bow hunter should belong to this group. I think 

 the Fish & Game is doing an excellent job and all of us can look 

 forward to many years of fine Archery seasons . 



It is my greatest concern to see the number of killers reduced 

 and the number of hunters and sportsman improve. Hunting is a 

 sport. The actual kill is a serious matter that considers 

 reasoning and a responsible decisive action. To many think 

 killing is a sport. So many sit back and watch. 



Question 6 = Tough to answer- whould always like to see more elk 

 but at what expense? 



Very much opposed to 8C on page 3 - its the time of year that I 

 get to see new country. 



Hunting during bow season, besides being fun, got me ready for 

 the gun season and made it easier to finally get a spike bull. 



My bow-hunting has developed as a way to recreate with my 

 husband. I do not spend a lot of time at it. I do enjoy this 

 type of hunting though because the weather is pleasant. I enjoy 

 seeing the animals that I see during bow season - more than 

 during rifle season. 



I just can't believe hunting can be made so complicated. 



Montana has extremely poor hunter safety habits . Too many 

 hunters keep guns loaded in vehicles. I hunt alone
