those priveleges we earn. 



If there are to be any limits imposed on hunting in Montana, let 

 them be imposed on out of state hunters. 



I just wish that Montana would not let in quite as many out of 

 state hunters . It seems that every year that there are more 

 hunters in the field which help deteriorate quality hunting! 

 Some people would argue that there isn't any such thing as 

 subsistance hunting anymore so why not raise the fees for more 

 revenue for better management. Well I say, thats not exactly 

 fair to the people who are residents of Montana who couldn't 

 afford greatly raised fees and who grew up learning how to 

 respect and use a resource thats part of their heritage. For 

 example, I never put in for moose, goat, sheep, etc., because of 

 the increased special permit fees. I just can't afford $50.00 

 for this priveledge! 



I would like to see surveys for rifle seasons. Also the number 

 of out of state hunters cut DRAMATICALLY! I'm really not happy 

 with out of state hunters and it is ruining hunting for in-state 

 hunters . 



I feel greedy outfitters and property owners are governing 

 wildlife in Montana. Let's give that responsiblity to the game 

 and fish department. 



A choice of a buck and doe and the river bottom in area 260. To 

 many outfitters. 



Archery should be allowed only for Montana residents. Leave at 

 least one season where Montana residents can enjoy what we have 

 worked and sacrificed for - living in this state so we can enjoy 

 the recreational benefits of this state. Don't turn the archery 

 season into something manipulated solely for economics as the gun 

 season is currently managed. 



Control out of state licenses for both bow and arrow and rifle. 

 Increase their fees - those who live in Montana pay the taxes and 

 suffer economically to live here! 



1) Restrict the number of commercial hunts in the state. 2) 

 Increase non-resident license fees. 3) Do research into an 

 imobolizing drug that would not affect consumption of the meat. 



I feel the elk are adapting to the hunters by changing their 

 bugling habits. If left alone, nature can do far more than and 

 new laws imposed by the fish and game. If any restrictions are 

 imposed, the should be done during general season. This would 

 have a greater impact than anything that could be done during 

 archery season.
