selective on who gets them. 



Also, I think the Missouri breaks area should be a one time 

 thing. You draw one permit and tht is it. It is the one area 

 that you should be able to get an elk if you have a permit, and 

 give it any effort at all. 



I would like to see a statewide archery tag for antelope, in 

 addition to the single area license available now. (More state 

 revenue with very little effect on the antelope population) 



I would also like to see a special archery license for moose, 

 probably on a special drawing basis. (Again more state revenue) 



I love to bow hunt, but I want to increase my chance to draw 

 either sex elk during rifle season. So I've given up on hunting 

 unit 622. 



B tag over the counter archery only for either species. Buck 

 only 4-point or better. 



In the S.W. part of the state there is a fair amount of buying 

 tags after big game is bagged together with transporting bagged 

 game without tags-So I storngly recommend requiring that tags be 

 bought prior to opening day. 



If hunters have to choose between bow or rifle hunting I do not 

 feel that bow hunters licenses should cost as much as rifle 

 hunters licenses. 



I would not pass up a cow for a bull and I would not pass up a 

 spike for a branch antlered bull. This hunting in Montana is 

 becoming a rich man's sport. I would like you to hold down 

 license fees as much as possible. 



As a rancher we must protect our property from all hunters so 

 must remain at home. For the most part we have very few 

 offenders but that few is miserable. I think a higher resident 

 trophy fee license is in order with a cheaper doe (meat) license 

 for food hunters- Some type of written permission be shown when 

 buying licenses-including from-BLM, Forest Service-State-Private- 

 a small fee to cover admin, costs would be reasonable. 



The drawing system is not set up properly, it needs to be looked 

 at. Having the drawings at each local district would make the 

 system work much better. 



The resident hunter needs to pay more. The state just "gives" 

 the game away to the resident hunter. We also need to manage for 

 bigger bulls and bucks and forget quanity for a year or two. The 

 rifle and archery both need to cost more. They both need to pass 

 tests to show how competent the hunter is .
