For some reason we have people in the F & G who want to do away 

 with archery hunting when it provide more recreational hours per 

 hunter per critter killed than does rifle hunting - with less 

 impact on the population and distribution of the animals. 



I am very glad to see someone is concerned with the archery 

 hunters in Montana . I think the DFWP should be more concerned 

 with our needs. Each year the rates go up and I've yet to see 

 any improvements . 



Montana Dept . of Fish, Wildlife and Parks change the restrictions 

 on hunting to often. There are too many restrictions to increase 

 trohpy animals for the minority of hunters. Thank you for trying 

 to make hunting better. 



I hope the season don't change archery or rifle because it seems 

 to me that the State Fish and Game is slowing trying to run the 

 little guy out of the woods to make room for just outfitters and 

 those that have the big money. 



I think when FWP started using a drawing for a tag on the north 

 side of CMR (621, 622, 623 etc.) they made a stupid move. Now 

 all the pressure is on the south side and hunters are packed 

 together so it put extreme pressure on a small area. The elk 

 willsoon have the habitat ruined on the north side. These guys 

 are suppose to think first, then act. 



I would like to see more deer (whitetail and mule) on River in 

 areas 410 and 621. I feel that the deer population hinders 

 archery hunting for deer in these areas . 



I'm glad to see fish and game dept. are concerned about the 

 opinions of archers . 



Archery elk hunting is extremely popular in the Missouri River 

 Breaks. The state promotes hunting here at the expense of 

 quality. A limit on the number of licenses sold should be 

 initiated. Region 4 Fish and Game could use some personnel 

 changes ! 



I've hit a point that I'm ready to quit hunting. A year ago my 

 son Mark and I had special tags. We spent to solid weekends 

 trying to get on private land between Laurel, Roberts and Red 

 Lodge. I'm fed up being told about some problem ranchers have 

 with you (Fish and Game) and those terrible hunters shooting 

 their beef and leaving gates open. 



How are you eligible is there is no place to put your name and 

 address? I hope number at bottom works. I'm very irritated with 

 you. When I put in for one area with my sons and we apply as a 

 joint party, we were put into different areas and so more of us 

 went to be fair to each other. I'm upset that some done get
