came out of there during the week! In fact I know more animals 

 were taken during the week days ! ! ! Close the logging roads Aug 

 15, or at least by Sept. 1. Do all of these things in 1988 an I 

 won't mind paying more for a achery stamp. 



P.S. Why don't you make the envelopes the same size for the 

 return mail ! 



State Fish and Game letting a small groups of people, and. on 

 clubs dictate regulations for their own personal gain, they are 

 trying to elimate competition at the sacrifice of the majority of 

 the hunters, which are. not organized, and your (Fish & Game) 

 lack of thinking reflexes on you size, of letter haveing to be 

 foled. agin to fit into your envelope. 



I think the Fish & Game really dont care about our Elk 

 population. All that matters it seems is the Big money from out 

 of state. I would like to see Elk transplanted in more locations 

 with lyr closures so they could better adaptd not be sitting 

 ducks now knowing which way to run when rifle hunters approach & 

 shoot. Lodgepole thickets should be thinned or burned allowing 

 more feed. More roads should be closed during rifle season for 

 protection of animals. Also every car, pickup, jeep, rifle etc 

 used for poaching should be confiscated & sold to the highest 

 bidder with proceeds to be used for Elk transplanting and warden 

 enforement. If we don't build our herds we will only see permit 

 hunting with no animals to shoot. 



Hunting in Montana has become more and more difficult with added 

 laws, rules and road closures. I hope the Fish & Game doesnt 

 forget we the sportsman are the Fish & Game. Without hunters we 

 dont need a Fish & Game! 



When I put in for 1st & 2nd choises and get 3rd choise and find 

 out that 1st choise was not filled I think that stinks on your 

 part. I think you should be looking at your people for these so 

 called mistaked in which the hunter has no recall on. 



I am surprised that you feel the Bow hunters harvest so many 

 animals that we are threatening our Big game in montana-And I 

 feel the only reason you're atempting to higher our hunting 

 licenses not to slow bowhunters but to fill your own pocket. 

 Every boudy knows you really don't care. 



Bow hunting should be moved ahead and black powder should be 

 brought in. 



If you kill a deer with a bow you should still be able to 

 kill a deer with a rifle. 



All the monies collected from hunters in Montana and not much is 

 spent on the hunter and gaining them access to private lands- 

 plenty spent on ways to keep him off lands (machines to make 

 shotgun sounds giving to farmers to keep ducks of thier land, no
