resource to state & landowners, FW&P needs to enhance that role - 

 refer to New Mexico. Thank you. 



I feel the most important & the greatest thing about Montana's 

 hunting, is the long season. It allows the hunters many 

 opportunities to enjoy Montana's beautiful environment & most 

 important the states precious wildlife. I moved here (Montana) 7 

 years ago to get away from permits & short Seasons in Colorado. 

 Thank you for asking my opinion. P.S. all my friends agree 

 about permits & long seasons . 



If people were required to purchase all big game hunting licenses 

 before seasons open, I do believe it will stop the number of 

 poachers. (Those people who shoot big game then go and purchase a 

 tag later. I don't believe big game tags should be able to be 

 purchased after the season starts . 



I feel that if there has to be a fee just for bow hunting, the 

 bow hunter should be able to buy tags that are just for bow 

 hunting - elk-deer-antelope. and also be eligible for rifle tags 

 for the same species. 



as a general rule elk hunting with a bow is a lot harder than 

 with a rifle and more area's should be open to either sex without 

 having to have special permits. thank you. 



In regards to question 10 on pge 3 I think all hunters (rifle & 

 archery) should have to buy their licences before opening day. I 

 know of times people have got into a herd of elk and shot more 

 than they had tags for and then had their friends or family buy 

 tags. that would put an end to that. 



If permitts were issued to those whose choice was their 1st 

 choice or open hunting to all. Areas the elk are in owuld not be 

 consentrated in areas that are not available to all hunters. 

 Have hunters choose Gun or Bow & 1 area 



The only thing that makes me mad is you guys keep raising the 

 hunting fees every years. Us bow hunters are paying twice to 

 hunt already, then you guys wonder why there is so much poaching 

 going on. I think bird season should be later in the year after 

 bow season to. 



I would prefer, archery antelope and gun antelope, to be able to 

 apply for both. - Maybe special archery drawing for moose. 



I would like to see a deer tag expecally for archery and rifle. 

 That way the hunter would be able to take two deer. I don't 

 think they should do this with elk though. 



I strongly agree with the suggestion to stop selling tags before 

 opening day of season.
