need to let hunters on there) . 



our Right to Hunt the Game animals of the state should come 

 before the Rights of the State officals to pay themselves and 

 spend money on useless ventures : Buffalo fences in yellowstone. 

 Increasing the cost of out of state licenses would be proper, if 

 they really want to hunt they will pay the price. 



I feel the time is right for Montana to step ahead with some of 

 the conservation ideas at hand - before we're sorry we didnt . 

 Some actions which are the best for the game aren't neccessarily 

 loved by hunters - But in the long-run scheme of things we 

 are managing lojzthe game animals. Aren't we ??? 



Too many people in Helena and not enough in the field. 



If you need job security then why dont you spend more time 

 fighting with the Forest Service than trying to change hunting 

 laws? 



I feel the FW&P department should quit managing for $$ and start 

 to pay attention to the game populations 



I find it hard to believe that some of the questions are even 

 being considered in Monatana. It seems to be another example of 

 the Fish & Game decisions being determined by outfitters and 

 other special interest groups. 



IN YEARS PAST I HAD ALWAYS HUNTED THE TETON SPRINGS BIRD REFUGE 

 RIGHT OUTSIDE CHOTEAU BUT IN 1987 WAS REFUSED PERMISSION IN THE 

 WHOLE AREA I WAS WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED?? 



I think that fish + game should discus more with the general 

 public of there doings and work more with sportsmen clubs, state 

 lands, champion lands, and forest service lands department before 

 everything is over managed. 



I think Fish and game should concentrate alot more on fishing. In 

 the last 5 years the north were part of the states fisheries have 

 declined terribly. While Eastern and South Eastern parts of the 

 state are doing very good. 



I hope that the Fish and game continues to show an interest in 

 the needs of the archer as it is the greatest hunting opportunity 

 avalible today. 



My confidence in the Fish & Game would be greatly increased if 

 they were legitimately open-minded when they solicit public 

 comments on their proposed options for game management. Many 

 officials seem to be very defensive of these proposed options and 

 try to justify their primary choice, rather than listen with an 

 unbiased attitude at these public meetings, when this is the
