Comments , 



I hope the response to your so called detailed questionnaire is 

 better than what I've been told by other archery hunters. Some 

 see it as an complete insulting joke. Since most of the 

 questions are of an negative attitude toward the bow hunter. You 

 should already know that the hunter success is very low and the 

 time in the feild is great. I've bow hunted for nearly 20 yr ' s 

 and ahve had great satisfaction from the demand on my abilitys 

 and knowledge. I have little respect for the Fish and Game, it's 

 lack of foresight in all areas of management. It seems all the 

 money paid for all licenses, has never been used for wildlife, 

 habitat , or improvements . 



All you see that the money has been used for are more personel, 

 vehicles, parks, nature paths, boats, snow groomers, docks, road 

 closures, (some that lead to trails) more paperwork and 

 regulations. Now that the F.G have expanded so much personel 

 wise and aquired so much equipment vehicles etc. 



It feels it deserves new large building's to house themselves to 

 be able to do a better job. When the fish and game can't do a 

 descent job now how do they expect to justify new buildings. 



Little concern with; canopy cover, winter range, population, 

 management, enforcement of regulations, trails, and road 

 closures. To me they've left the wildlife out in the cold to 

 fair as best it can. Instead of an deep study on the archery 

 hunter, the fish and game should indeed step back an look at its 

 structure and lack of ability to use it's resources and not abuse 

 it's responsibity due the wildlife. Why cut the wildlife short? 

 It seems every study or anything that they do hurts the natural 

 progress of the wildlife from fish and bears, just everyone of 

 them. 



Why can't they do something right once for a change. 



Having lived in Mont all my life, and seeing what it was and how 



it has been abused by just common neglect by both the F&G and the 



Forest Circus it just makes one sick. I as one feel so helpless 



in any attempt to change any of it.
