Question 8 missing option., shorten archery season one week to 

 make room for a black powder season. I do not now own a black 

 powder firearm but would buy one if there was a separate season. 

 Many others would do the same. These monies would be spent in 

 Montana. I am sure that a separate license would also increase 

 revenue potential . We who live in Montana do so for the 

 recreational activities. Any scheme to limit the use of the 

 outdoors to residents should and will be looked at with contempt! 

 As long as bag limits do not increase there is room for 

 everyone's favorite type of hunting. Most hunters like to try 

 various methods of hunting and spend a great deal of money doing 

 it. These monies are what fund wildlife management! 



This year was very abnormal for me. I typically hunt every 

 weekend . 



I am only twelve years so some of your questions don't apply to 

 me. 



I enjoy both bow hunting and rifle hunting in Montana. It is the 

 only state I have been in that you can get more than one animal. 



I would like to see it become easier to become a hunting and 

 fishing guide, and or after getting a elk be able to retrieve it 

 by auto on CMR. Its to hard to pack an animal out on your back. 



I have written a number of opinions in this book - not ment to be 

 rude. I think that all efforts should be taken to enhance 

 hunting for Montanan's, not the out of state hunter. Residents 

 of Montana should come first. I feel all of the politics should 

 be, at least, cut in half. 



I'm not a very "dedicated" archer. As I already stated, after 

 archery season, I sold my equipment because I had a need for the 

 cash. I hope someday to replace it all. 



I think the state should not allow power line to cross near or on 

 wilderness areas. 



I think considerations should be made on fishing with bows. 



Overall I had a good hunt. 



The population and access to the big game animals is a big 

 problem in that it gets to cost more because of excessive trips, 

 low population casusing more trips. You have to drive for a long 

 distance, it gets to cost more than its worth. 



While gathering wood in the district prior to the season, sign of 

 game and sightings of game were plentiful. Opening day and 

 through the season there was no sightings and little or no sign
