People who don't allow hunting on their property should be forced 

 to allow guides to enter their property on hunts or pay a tax to 

 keep people off. WE LIVE IN MONTANA BECAUSE OF OUR FREEDOM I 



The only t? I feel really needs improvement is access to public 

 lands 1 More & more areas are being utilized by a select few. We 

 need more access sites. 



For ranchers & farmers that have alot of cow elk feeding on their 

 land they should have a cow only m? bulls hunt to thin out the 

 cows . I know alot of bowhunters that would love to go in and 

 hunt just cows - me included. 



My major concern today is hunter access. Much more should be 

 done in directing funds toward improving hunter-landowner 

 relations and added impetus AGAINST fee hunting. Maybe soneone 

 else ( or some other group) should be helping to decide how our 

 monies are being spent. 



My only opinion is the cimt of deir that one person could take in 

 one year. 



Another problem I see happening is Pay Hunting. I think I would 

 quit first. Thank you. 



Access to public land is becoming more of a problem each year. 

 Pay to hunt area's are becoming a problem also. Big game & birds 

 belong to all of Montana's citizens. F.W.P., B.L.M. and many 

 landowners are doing a good job of keeping lands open for quality 

 hunting. Many hunters must learn to respect private & public 

 lands for good hunting to continue in Montana. 



Private land access is my major concern! Will the landowners 

 continue to allow access with the continual increase in teh 

 hunting populations. 



I do not believe they can stand much more pressure, interuption, 

 and plain disregard by many hunters who do little more than buy a 

 tag and expect the landowner to supply the animals. 



I belive that the most important issue is the restriction of 

 access to public property by private landowners. I strongly 

 favor purchase of access rights and prime habitat to increase 

 game populations and hunting opportunities, and would be willing 

 to pay much higher fees for these purposes. Virtually everyone I 

 talk to feel the same way. 



I would like to see easier public land access in district 411, 

 which is mainly Forest Service land. 



Areas should be clearly defined, foot only, or wide open except 

 for retreival, no preference to horse hunters, tougher regulation 

 of outfitters, segrigation of pay hunters, from real hunters -
