I question if management practices are for the benefit of game, 

 or to benefit the hunting public, especially resident hunters (we 

 live here) or soley interested in the management of money, the 

 latter being detrimental to game and the hunting public. This is 

 a personal opinion of a working, tax paying resident of this 

 great state. Thank you for your time. 



I don ' t understand why you are so concerned with changing the 

 amount of archery hunters or segregating hunting methods. 

 Archery hunter populations are vey low in this state. 



Our state should be a leader in the proper management of wildlife 

 populations in realtionship to their habitat. This state should 

 not become a blind follower of other state's trying to deal with 

 dense populations and ignorant political pressure. 



Please don't get into the business of dictating what it the 

 "elitest hunting stile" and purest methods, "like fisheries 

 presently does". Please manage our wildlife from the best 

 scientific information you can obtain. (Habitat is very 

 important). P.S. Stop the Forest Service. 



The fish and game should establish elk farms and distribute elk 

 through the state of Montana and spend less on administrative 

 cost. 



Why is it possible for a land owner to block access to public 

 lands and at the same time be able to use it himself for grazing 

 in the from of cow unit leases or whatever. I feel that any time 

 a rancher is paid subsidies by the government for any reason (hay 

 stack destruction by elk), - that rancher should not be able to 

 close leased public lands to hunting by those that support it 

 (tax payers) . 



If Fish and Game officials would worry more about the job of game 

 management and less about jacking the hunting laws around to 

 promote the out of state hunters dollar, the better us locals 

 would feel about paying their wages . 



I hope F St G will listen to the bow hunters and not to all the 

 others who don't or can't hunt with a bow. I have had people who 

 work for fish and game put bow hunting down. But when asked if 

 they ever had done it they hadn't ever shot a bow. 



The B.P.A. power line and access roads in area 200 severely 

 harmed the elk range and feeding habitat. Useless logging roads 

 in the area destroyed a prime breeding wallow and trail system. 

 Extremely poor judgement on the part of federal and state 

 officials. The area will never recover from the damage. 



In my favorite hunting area (110) is a horrible predator problem. 

 The bears, mountain lions, and wolves are eating up at least 90%
