FISH, WILDLIFE AND PARKS POLICY 



I think bowhunting has been real good and have no problems, 

 except that you guys are causing problems by think permit hunting 

 is the answer. Also I think if you guys F&G and commision don't 

 start working with sportsmen instead of against them we have no 

 alternative but to try and change the system and get the 

 commision elected by the sportsman and Montana citizens insted of 

 appointed. 



90% of this survey has nothing to do with setting your archery 

 season dates and game kill area. You have basically wasted your 

 money and this survey. Stop playing politics and play ball. Pay 

 more attention to Montana hunters and not out of state hunters. 

 We pay your wages also!!! You snooze you lose!! 



The Montana fish and game are to money hungry and do not care 

 about Montana hunters . 



I feel the numbers of game Fish and Game reports are inaccurate. 

 I believe the counting methods they. We count alot of the same 

 animals over and over giving a larger number than actual count. 



The branch antlered laws in 310, 311, 360, 301 are the best move 

 by F&G. In 50 years I only with that they were implamented 10 

 years ago. 



I am open to a wide scope of management options ! It is my 

 feeling that the people in the Administrative level at Helena are 

 not enough of game managers to implement "New" seasons (both type 

 of season and length) that are put forward by Western Montana 

 Biologists . 



Why is the Department discriminating against the archers? 



Dear John, The "management actions" listed in #8 are so 

 ridiculous - but normal for the Montana Fish and Game. for 

 example in 8d why don't you just say raise it to $20 so those 

 people who can't afford to go hunting have to stay home! Why not 

 come right out and ask if people would favor a no spikes archery 

 season in order to increaase the number of more mature bulls - in 

 keeping with the no spikes rifle season? 



I think the Fish and Game and the US Fish Wildlife and Parks 

 could be more cooprative with a fellow. Instead of acting like 

 the elk or deer are on the endangered list. They could held a 

 little more. 



This was mt first year at elk hunting with a bow and so far I'm 

 satisfied with how things are run by the F&G.
