able to hunt with bow in archery season & rifle season. 



I dislike either or choices and am opposed to making an issue on 

 equipment excepting the cross bow. The cross bow need never be 

 allowed! If I am limited to archery only on drawings why am I 

 not receiving more permits like rifle antelope hunters? I do not 

 like giving up a chane on the big game drawing for rifle hunting 

 because I bow hunt. Increasing prices of tags should only be for 

 land aquistion and feeding programs. Also, we could rebate part 

 of a license to landowners who let us hunt, (when a hunter is 

 sucessfull on private lands.) 



A summer heart attack spoiled my 1987 hunt. Answered questions 

 anyway. Now, hunting has become a major part of my therapy in 

 that I am able to hunt with others as opposed to alone as before. 

 Extended season crossbow, etc., help me to get out and get meat 

 which my family uses and needs . 



COMMENTS TO YOUR ARCHERY SURVEY 

 1) Question #6 Part II 



Cross Bows Require littel effort on one's part to shoot. How 

 much easier it is to just pull a trigger, that to hold back the 

 string of the long bow - re-curve or compound. Range is also a 

 great factor between these bow's. It takes a greater effort and 

 ability to gage or judge the range needed to hit your target than 

 that of a crossbow & scope. Crossbow's should in my judgement be 

 leagel only in rifel season. 

 2 . ) Question #7c. 



The increase of big game is in need to many areas less populated 

 than areas such as near Yellow Stone Park. I cant understand why 

 late season hunting is allowed just to cut down large hurd ' s . 

 Transplant some from the large hurd ' s population's to leass 

 populated area's. Late season perment ' s to hunt elk not only end 

 up with a cow being taken, but all so the loss of an unborn cafe 

 being's late hunt's are generly in a time when cow's are heaby 

 with claf. Is this nessasary? 



3) Question #8a Part II 



Opposed, I bow hunt for the challang & sport. With my bow I hunt 

 for a trophy as well as the meat. Yet if I fail with my bow it's 

 rife season I count on to provide my table with meat. So if 

 having to make choice between season I feel it would rob me a 

 chance to enjoy the hunt. 



4) Question #10 part II 



Bow licenses as well as refel season licenses tags should be 

 required be for opening day an not sold after opening day. I 

 feel if this should happen it would stop the hunter that hunts, 

 then after getten his or hers game purching a tag to make it look 

 leagel. There are to many so called hunter that pull just what I 

 have mention above. Thank you for an interesting survey 



I like to see a black power season for big game. At the same 

 time as archery season, like some of the other states do. Also,
