is the Price on Montana? 



P.S. I do have a good attitude. 



I'm conderned with the excessively large numbers of our fitters 



and the use of private land owners to c? large c? access through 



their property. I'm also concered about the use of fee charges 

 by land owners . 



I am glad to see this questionnaire and hope it will bring about 

 some changes. Public access to good Forest Service ground is 

 very limited in the area I hunt. Also the outfitter business is 

 getting awfully big, damn near anyone with a four wheel drive is 

 an outfitter anymore, which has a tendency to make landowners 

 lease rights and limiting access. 



I would like to see late huntes in certain cases, such as this 



year do to weather conditions. 



During rifle season it would be nice if the permits would stay at 



home and not given to out of state hunters. We feed the big game 



in our back yard it would be nice to take advantage of this our 



selfes. 



Being a beginner at bowhunting my lack of success may be due to 

 inexperience or laziness or both. However I have gotten close 

 enough to elk both years to make my try again. I will try new 

 areas next year & maybe an outfitter to gain access to elk 

 otherwise unavailable. 



I would like to see Montana archery kept a challenging experience 

 for montana hunters . ! 



Could use more transplants of elk in Northwest Montana & also 

 believe we have to much pressure from outfitters during archery 

 season, must cut this number down by 1/2. 



There are too many out of state people that are allowed to hunt 

 in MT. 



I really don't undestand why you are picking on archery hunters 

 for your survey. We don't harvest that many animals, we don't 

 need more regulation, we need to police our own sport. I moved 

 from Illinois to Montana just because of the hunting. My 

 feelings are that the outfitters are responsible for most of our 

 problems in Montana! 



To many cattle in the mountain at this time of year. To many out 

 of stater coming in here & trying to tell us how to run our elk. 

 Don't understand why we pay a fee for archery hunting. 



They should open up more areas for deer, elk, & antelope so you 

 don't have to pay no outfitter or pay the people who wons the 

 land to go hunting on that land cuz there are alot of people who
