Also logging impacts by Forest Service and private people seem to 

 effect herd movements for a couple of years. Land developments 

 in wintering grounds has done more damage in past 10 years to 

 several good areas. Everytime I find a good spot I tell the game 

 station and the following year I am invaded by a ridiculous 

 amount of hunting pressure whom the Fish and Game sent there 

 mostly out of state hunters. It is becoming painful to be honest 

 with your people at the game check stations . 



To many trophy hunters and out of state hunters . Let the out of 

 state hunters ruin their own state, not ours. 



Quit bothering resident hunters, raise out of state rates on all 

 hunting if you're so worried about money, make more public lands 

 accessible, cut down on out of state permits issued, give 

 residents first crack at permits, let out of staters have whats 

 left (rifle and bow) . 



Again I feel the biggest problem facing hunting in Montana is the 

 "Big Money Hunting" which of course the state favors. Guides 

 and outfitters think they run the damn thing and that anybody 

 that doesn't pay to hunt is a slob. So limit permits to guides 

 and limit out of state hunters. 



More needs to be done to allow better access to private land. 

 Let's not allow outfitters to tie up large tracts of private 

 land! Just a few years ago a polite, timely request to hunt was 

 seldom refused - not anymore. 



I feel the game management in Montana is given too much 

 consideration towards the wants and needs of outfitters and 

 guides. I further feel the game management agencies and game 

 commission base their decisions on political rather than 

 environmental concerns . 



I think that ourfitters should be restricted to the amount of 

 clients they have in a general hunting season, and in any given 

 area. 



I use to tolerate "outfitter/guides" when there were only a few 

 legitimate licensed outfitters. But now a days I've seen to many 

 " outfitters " who send out of state greenhorn hunters out with so 

 called "guides" (no license). They have devastated areas I have 

 hunted in past years. Don't know who to blame though. I think 

 the state should eliminate out of state bow hunters and strongly 

 reduce the numbers allow during rifle season. 



Archery hunting overall has been good. I see a trend due to the 

 states financial status to push residents aside more and more so 

 non-residents will come and spend their money. It's becoming 

 more difficult every year for residents to enjoy hunting. It may 

 be thought that non-residents bring money in, but what about the
