7. THE QUALITY OF MONTANA'S WILDLIFE RESOURCE. 



I think the quality of Archery hunting in Montana is excellent, 

 and we are very fortunate to have such a well managed game herd. 

 The D.F.W.P. is on top of everything and I dont mind paying the 

 license fee because of that. 



Our archery season in District 622 was a great success this year 

 in my opinion. Hunting pressure was very minimal throughout the 

 season which provided many hours of quality stalking and stand- 

 hunting. These questionaires are invaluable because the hunters 

 in the field usually know our most important needs as far as 

 control, changes, additions etc. in the rules & regulations - 

 Hopefully, the people. Commission, and others involved will work 

 closely together, in order to maintain & provide outstanding 

 quanity & quality of our Hunting seasons in our great state of 

 Montana - 



I think, that even though this is an acher's survey, the Idea of 

 comprimise between both Archers and general hunters should have 

 been considered and shown through the questions. The elk season 

 should be shortened, since more animals are taken by General 

 hunters Both Archery and General should be shortened by a week. 

 All hunters A or G should sacrifice together for an increase in 

 Quality Animals. 



Hunting, whether with a Bow or a rifle is such a precious asset 

 to the Hunters of Montana That any effords to improve it in any 

 way, we must do so that it can be enjoyed by everyone rich & 

 poor. Private Hunting Preserves should not be allowed. 



I've lived in Montana 3 yrs . , since moving from Utah, Montana has 

 some of the finest hunting Ive ever experienced, the Rifle Hunt 

 has by far proven to be the best hunting so far. But I enjoy Bow 

 Hunting very much, thanx Montana 



The one thing I will realy miss about Montana, is the hunting and 

 the wide outdoors . 



I realy injoy Bow Hunting and I hope this will help other hunters 

 in Montana. Thank you for giving me this oppertunity. 



I feel that any changes made should faver wildlife first and the 

 hunter second. 



I would like to see all types of hunting taken care of. Bow and 

 Gun so my two boys ages 6-2 can have as much fun and enjoyment as 

 I have over the years. Hunt deer one day. Elk the next, so 

 fishing the next, (THATS Montana) 



I enjoy Bowhunting and I hope Montana can keep a Quality Archery 

 season.
