limited. It definitly affects the movement of game. 



Please explain how road closures in your opinion helps game 

 populations? The only thing that I think this could & would do 

 is make it harder for a successful hunter to get the animal out 

 and in warm weather this is of primary concern. 



We need more unroaded wilderness. Less access for motor 

 vehicles. Require safety and hunting competence for all hunters 

 including: Firearms safety, sportsmanship, proper killing and 

 dressing of game. FWP could provide training for those who can't 

 pass test or private people can teach. More enforcement 

 visibility. I have yet to see hide or hair of any law dogs in 

 the field except for Vince Tanone and he was ferrying elk meat in 



a wheel barrow! But I was able to follow his 



distinctive trail to his special spot! So the hotest secret of 

 the Elkhorns is out. 



FWP should acquire big game winter range. U.S. Forest Service 

 should restrict cattle & sheep grazing and strictly enforce 

 limits on permittees. 



I think there should be changes made concerning road closeures so 

 as to provide more access to the back-country. I also think that 

 out of state hunting permits should increase in prie and decrease 

 in number. 



When a walk in area is designated as such that should mean walk 

 in. Not mountain bike or horse back but walk in. Limit the 

 number of hunters & hunting camps into the Bob Marshall . 



In area 410 to many people have no regard for staying on roads. 

 tire tracks indicate some people drive where they please. 



Talk has been brought up about ATV, and turning other areas into 

 Wilderness. I oppose wilderness for the simple fact I enjoy the 

 scenry so do women, retired people who cant walk in 5,10 miles. 

 Outfitters and guides charge to much they feel the mountains are 

 theres . The mountain are for everyone. 



ATVs are getting to be a real problem. I bowhunt because it si a 

 chalenge, it provides a good wilderness-type experience and it 

 isn't easy. The big spenders are putting a lot of pressure on 

 lots of areas with ATVs. Some are operated legally-some are 

 not. I would liek to see all ATV use banned, except for game 

 retrevial, during the archery and general hunting seasons. 



Generally, I am satisfied with the archery season, my complaint 

 would be with off road vehicles, there are very few areas a 

 person can go and not find make-shift roads, erosion caused by 

 there Veh ' s , and trash littered about, and more importantly, game 

 animals are chased by many of these irresponsible people, lets
