then buy a license. 



Let's get busy increasing the elk populations in N.W. Mont, not 

 to kill them, just so we can seethese fabulous animals more 

 often. Too many people in the Libby area shoot multiple deer then 

 tag them with a tag from a wife, mother, dog, etc. Make people buy 

 the tickets (tags) before opening day of each season. Also, lets 

 shorten the Bear season up here (spring). 



Archery AND rifle seasons: 



1. limit road access 



2. Each specie tag good ONLY ONE AREA 



3. ELK COW TAG holders can NOT take a bull 



4. All areas have bull elk drawing on quota system-permit valid 

 then for archery or rifle. The permit is then limiting the hunter 

 to the specific area he applied for... he may not hunt 



"anyplace "for elk. 



I hunt both seasons...! have taken 15 elk in 16 seasons; all 

 with rifle(so far). Montana needs to get a better control of 

 hunting. If a hunter applies for a permit (it is iLLadecision to 

 apply), if he gets drawn for that permit-he is then obligated to 

 that area for that sex. . . 



I think the drawing system needs to get a little fairer. Some 

 familys get up to 4 or 5 cow permits and it is not fair. 



Hunting in the state of Montana has changed in the last 20 yrs to 

 the point that its starting to become a rich persons sport. I 

 don't like to see that. Hunting fees for license go up almost 

 yearly I'm personally tired of it. please leave the game 

 management where it is now so that the working class in Montana 

 can afford to hunt along with out of state people. 



In leiu of providing incentives; why not make people who fail to 

 return harvest reports /survey ineligable for any special drawings 



I didn't get a special tag ever, my wife and I lend the state 

 over $325. - a year in drawing fees and get nothing while the 

 same people get the special permits year in and year out. That 

 seems unfair to me. 



I would like to see archery only districts, other than River 

 Bottoms, during general gun season. I would also like to see more 

 permits (Moose, Goat, Sheep) issued on an archery only basis. 

 Thankyou Keep up the work! 



One of the biggest frustrations is drawing for special tags - 

 especiall antilope in the 300 area - I would like to see 800 

 series tags include all areas with 100 permits or more. Also 

 Goat, Sheep & Moose tags with archery only designation would 

 allow the serious Bowhunter greater opertunities to collect these 

 trophies. Even 5% would be greatly appriciated
