There are too many K-Mart hunters who buy a bow and shoot only 1 

 week before season opens. Then there are those who carry a 44 

 mag along with their bow. We archers should have to pass a 

 shooters test before we are able to purchase a license. 



I think crossbows would ruin archery hunting. I think we need to 

 weed out the people that get their bows out of the closet 2 days 

 before opening day. Being a responsible hunter demands 

 dedication. 



Two years in a row I have passed up shots at 5 point bulls 



becayse the conditions were not just right. Even though I would 



have loved to have gotten them. I only wish other hunters would 

 do the same if they risk only wounding their game. 



I think there should be a very small limit on non-residents for 

 drawing tags at 3 times the price. 



There should be a mandatory test for all people on hunting skills 

 and tracking and caring for game . Not many people know what the 

 hell they are doing in the woods. 



I think that we need to cut down on the long stupid shots that 

 some archers make. We need good clear shots, we do not have 

 rifles . 



I believe the requirement of All Bow Hunters to pass a bow 

 hunters education course before they are issued a license should 

 be mandatory. This will eliminate those that buy a bow the day 

 before season, then go out and sometimes wound an animal because 

 of the practice necessary to become an accomplished archer. 



I enjoy bowhunting for the challenge and enjoyment of nature at a 

 favorable time of year, I do, however see many distrubances by 

 inexperienced non-residents, road hunters, party mongers, and the 

 like that DQ disturb wildlife in a detrimental fashion, I feel 

 there is no remedy for the situation at present, and am inclined 

 as are many of my friends and family, to cease hunting (our only 

 recreation) altogether. 



I quit archery hunting because I feel a bow is not effective 

 enough of a weapon in most people hands . 2 types of bow hunters 

 - 1 that wounds a nice bull that later dies and one that will. 



In my opinion Archery hunting is more of a challenge and requires 

 greater skill than any other form of hunting. My only complaint 

 would be that there are too many weekend Robin Hoods in the woods 

 that can not find their hit animals . They should be required to 

 pass the NBEP (National Bowhunter Education Foundation) test.
