(1) All tags (rifle & archery stamps) shouldn't be sold after 



opening day. 



All restrictions should be equal between archery & rifle. 



is it true that if you apply for a rifle permit first choice and 

 bow for second or third choice that you do not get a chance for a 

 rifle permit? If so that seems unfair. 



I think that no license for eather reglar or archery should be 

 sold after opening day. 



Since I am a senior citizen I am concerned about increases in the 

 costs to hunt legally. I hope that senior citizens will not be 

 remored from the society of sportsmen. 



Don't sell "b" tags for white-tails does in Area 703. 



Crack down on tresspassers and people taking animals illeglengly. 



I would like to see a Archery "B" tag that would alow the hunter 



to take a buck mulies or whitetail. 



This would still leave the hunter to use his "A" tag for a buck 



during rifle season. 



Shooting a doe is no sport for me. 



I am very much in favor of issuing all elk licences on a drawing 

 basis - instead of unlimited general purchase. I think 

 additional aquisition of winter game range is important. I also 

 think public access to public lands, including state school 

 lands, should be generated, by payment if necessary, or by FWP 

 lease from the state or private owners. However more vehicular 

 restrictions should be implemented where game security is 

 questionable. 



I would be willing to grant X-bows and muzzle loaders their own 

 season in mid-October - say Oct 10-25, especially if a Dec. bow 

 season for deer were implemented. 



Overall I am satisfied with bow hunting in MT. I do feel that in 

 some areas with very limited habitat archery hunters numbers 

 should be limited for elkhunting to lesson the negative affects 

 on the elk. I also feel that in areas like the spring creek 

 preserve that extra "A" tags could be sold for trophy hunting 

 purposes, at a higher cost and still not adversly affect the 

 population of big bucks, and in the process some money could be 

 raised to help improve landowner relations in the area, through 

 partial reimbursment for damage done by the deer. The money 

 could also be awarded to the person on whose land the trophy was 

 collected as an incentive for more access. 



Where I hunt region 6 they have been really whacking does to 

 reduce the population and giving non resident tags. They now 

 have the numbers reduced. Would like to see them cut back on doe 

 tags and reduce the number of non-residents. Any extra buck tags
