recreation of archery hunting. 



I am very concerned about the attitudes expresssed by one 



commissioner in particular - Mr. Bob Jensen. He is strongly 



opposed to archery hunting and does not seem to see it as a 



recreation deserving equal opportunity. 



He should be made aware that his job is to improve hunting 



opportunities for all people - not to take it away from a few 



such as myself who chose to use a bow. 



This is probably an atypical response, since I did not have the 

 time to hunt this year due to the fire situation in California 

 during archery season. 



I would like to have quality self guided archery hunting in 

 Montana . 



I would like to see Bear Baiting open to archers. 



More needs to be done to protect the land from (development) more 

 Federal and State land needs to be reaquired from private lands 

 and protected from development. The environment needs more 

 protection. 



As I hunt more seasons I will Develop more opinions on the 

 Subject. 



I think somebody needs to do somthing about the Montana bow 

 hunters asosiation in the bitteroot valley. Ther all a bunch of 



Elk hunting at the Pines is always enjoyable if the ground isn't 

 too wet . 



The only thing I stuck an arrow into this year was a sapling 

 spruce tree! 



I enjoy the opportunity to hunt #260 - with a long season. I 

 have taken deer by Bow I have never hit a Deer and then LOST him! 

 I will not DRAW ON AN ANIMAL UNLESS I'm 100% sure of a kill. 

 How about a special YELLowstone Park Bow Hunt! To thin the Herd. 



I would like to suggest you shut down the Doe hunting in area 705 

 because of the kill off from the Blood diesease Blue Tounge this 

 last year (Please) we are finding dead Deer everywhere. One of 

 my friends found 17 carcasses in one ravine alone. 



I enjoy hunting Montana! 



Hunting season (both archery & rifle) has become more 

 commercialized in the last couple years - outfitters; hunting 

 leases; closed access; trespass fees; etc... 

 Hunting will soon become "A rich man's sport", due to
