I think the Department is more sensitive to doaars and revenue 

 derived in some regions than channelling energies to provide a 

 quality-huntable resource. Looks like the generations of 

 Liscence revenue holds A much higher priority than good sound 

 management to provide a sustained resource. 



Whitetail resources in Region 7 are a good example of an 

 insensitive boom or bust. I'm sure that management in Region 7 

 will again be done with a zerox machine. Just an example of what 

 is in-store for whitetail hunters . 



I think that game preserve hunting should be limited to hunters 

 off the 16 and under group. 



We need more quality product (more good, big game); not more 

 bureaucracy. Cut down on your expensive HDQTRS Bldgs & put my 

 money into more people in the field to stop law breakers, and 

 also to get more factual data needed to help increase game 

 population of big animals , realistically - not theoretically! 



Every reasonable effort should be made by DFWP to expand and 

 enhance archery hunting opportunities and thereby positively 

 respond to their mandate to provide the maximum amount of hunting 

 opportunity without jeaporadizing the resource. 



My biggest gripe with F&G is that it seems to me everything you 

 do is geared towards $. (for example, I feel the quality of 

 hunting is dramatically decreased by out of state hunters ) 

 however I believe youre priorities are the revenue. 



Fish & Game want to much wilderness. 



CMR is nothing but registered prairie dogs & snakes since 



ranchers were moved out & no alfalfa is left. 



Biggest waste of land I ever saw! Used to be best place I ever 



hunted. Could be managed great but isn't. Why want more land - 



when can't manage what they have now. 



What you are trying to do is over-regulate all kinds of hunting, 

 and create a huge buracracy that would become subservient to no 

 one. IE Montanans . 

 Keep It Simple Stupid 



I'm glad to see something is being done but; lower fees longer 

 archery only areas fine some employes of the Dept. that have low 

 education levels or make them improve the thinking capacity. 

 Commet based on actual encounters . 



The walk in area are not in the appropriate place. 



Elk hunting in northern Montana sucks. Elk are starving to death 

 in parks . And I feel a lot could be done to transport elk to 

 aeras of better feed, & seeded to meet demands. Elk are planted 

 & the locations printed on front page of newspapaers, so thay can
