1 . There are too many novices archery hunting today 2 . I feel a 

 compound bow should be required. 3. The number of hunters needs 

 to be reduced or limtied-both archery and rifle. 4. There is too 

 much access-you cannot get away from people anymore-neither can 

 the game. 



Lest wildlife and more hunter seems to becomming a problem. 



I feel that archery hunting in Montana has greatly increased 

 putting a damper on many favorite areas . As for the game increase 

 that would be greatly appreciated do to the fact of the 

 population increase of archery hunters. 



WAY TOO MANY RIFLE HUNTERS ALLOWED IN MONTANA 



Some bowhunting restictions could be placed on Dists. in the Ft. 

 Peck Res. area. Human activity during archery season in that area 

 is overwhelming during favorable season. Manage the game for the 

 residents as aposed to non res. game pop. is one of the few 

 reasons for people to stay in the state. Lord knows its not the 

 job market! and; so it should be. 



I quit rifle hunting for elk because of too many hunters. I'm 

 also concerned about the increasing amount of roads in elk 

 habitat. Maintain quality hunting for trophy bulls and quality 

 habitat with few roads. I'd prefer quality over quantity-make elk 

 hunters choose bow or rifle. Also reduce number of outfitters to 

 a reasonable level.
