1) restrict # out of atate hunters, esp. Washington Idaho. 



There are far too many ldaho hunters in the woods!! (no 

 kidding there are just too many out of state hunters, it's good 

 for outfitters but do you care about local people? I think not. 

 Convince me, that you care. I want to hear from you. 



2) Idea for areas 200,201,202,121,122,123 subsistance hunting tag 

 for local hunters only. 



rules 

 1) local resident for min. 5 yrs 

 2)restricted to one locality (county) 

 3)limit; lelk - either sex 



2 deer -either sex whitetail 



1 deer - either sex either sp. 



1 bear - same rules 

 $28,000 income or less 3or more in family unit not per person 

 4) Do away with all cow tags in subsistance counties. 

 5) this change will elimintes poching by locals (there is more of 

 it than you think! ) 



I came from South Dakota where there is a minimum of 5 to every 1 

 of your wildlife game animals I feel that your mangement of 

 wildlife here is overhunted by outfitters & pro guides (wildlife 

 is a sport, not a profitable business. I feel that the dollar$ 

 and outfitters along with poor Dept. mis-management have been the 

 set back 



Wake up before its to late I have hunted in South Dakota for 

 34 years, Colorado 4 years and now 2 years in Montana. I have 

 always heard stories of the great hunting in Montana, I was 

 tearably misinformed, this has been my worst hunting experience 

 in my 40 years of game hunting 



Elk hunting with either Bow or rifle here in Sanders County has 

 entirely too much outside pressure - especially from the guides 

 who not only hunt thire own areas but all others also. That is 

 wrong. Further comment- I hunted elk and deer the last week of 

 rifle season in district 121 (Taft summit) (crow creek). One 

 outfitter from upper prospect creek had 12 hunters in this area 

 with atv's (each one) and were using automatic weapons small 

 caliber such as A-R-15's. This is a very good area to hunt and I 

 sincerely believe the fish and game commission should try and put 

 a stop to such things. The hunters probably fired over 60-70 

 rounds in a two hour period after day break. This information was 

 reported to our local game warden. 



Hire local people for game wardens. Don ' t allow Game wardens or 

 Fish & Game Commisioners or employeds to put in for Moose Big 

 Horn sheep, Mountain goat, and special Elk permits. Archery or 

 Rifle. Do more for resident hunters. Fewer out of state hunters 

 raise out of state fees not the resident hunter fees. If they can 

 afford to drive out here they can afford to pay higher fees. If 

 pay hunting comeing. Let the farmer or rancher get get fee from
