to retrieve game in time 



I feel the forest service could improve the roads, we have to 

 travel on. They could also plan their work, other than during 

 hunting season. 



I believe the F.S. think they own federal land and not, us 

 taxpayers . 



I think that with either rifle of bow that the shooting of spikes 

 should be outlawed. The amount of hunters with a bow in the 

 Missori breakes should be limited. They should crack down on 

 airplanes all around that Lewistown area esspecially in Re 

 breaks, every time I was in Re Missori or Musselshell breaks I 

 got buzed by some airplane - sometime it was Fish & Game. 



Some vehicle travel should be restrected the same as in rifle 

 season. Some of the hunting areas should be cows only, leave the 

 bull alone if the ratio is not high enough. The hunters should be 

 able to shoot fairly consistent some of the hunter don't even 

 practice at all or very little. 



AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST 



ALL TERRAIN VEHICLES TEAR UP THE SOIL AND FRIGHTEN THE 

 ANIMALS THREE & FOUR WHEEL MOTORCYCLES SHOULD BE BANNED 



I think its just fine just how it was this, not expensive, but 

 there could be a few better things like, opening of closed roads 

 and BPA roads . and a postseason hunting with bow for big game 

 after rifle season. 



The biggest threat in my hunting distric comes from our local 

 Fish & Game biologist - Jerry Brown. I have found from 

 discussions with him that he is an extreme preservationist. He is 

 in a position where his personal philosophies are determining 

 public policy. Big conflict of interest. Everyplace in the 100 

 district which is worth hunting, he has placed signs on the roads 

 which say, "area behind this sign is closed to motorvehicles to 

 protect big game". I thought only the congress of the U.S. had 

 the power to designante wilderness areas. What good is it to by a 

 license if they are going to close off the access to the game 

 which you paid for? 



What good are more elk if you can't look at them, or hunt 

 them? I know there are a vocal minority of people who say they 

 walk 20 miles before they start hunting, but I doubt it. My 

 father cannot walk these distances. However if the roads were 

 open he could hunt these areas along with the nature lovers . 



Mountain bicycles should be allowed on established trails in 

 wilderness areas and parks. They do not distrub flora, fauna or 

 people; and you have to be in excellent shap e to ride one on ani^ 

 mountain trail!
