pay hunters not allowed on public land, since the reverse is 

 already in effect. 



Access to state & Fed lands needs to be improved greatly also 

 those ranchs and farms that get some kind of Fed or State help 

 should allow hunting of some kind by Tax Payers. 



Too much of our State & Fed land is blocked for public use, by 



land owner and outfitter who purchase access rights for their 



personal use. 



The problem of over grazing domastic animals, on elk deer, & 



antalope land, should be watched more carefully and restricted as 



necessary. 



Restrict the harvest of spike bull ' s during both rif ile & bow 



season to help the maturing process. Did not receive 



questionaire until March 11, 1988 sent to wrong city. Feel it 



unfair not to be encluded in drawing. 



Question 14 on Page 4 & 5 on page 5 do not cover someone like 

 myself. I have a hard earned cabin on Dal ton Mt. (293) where I 

 hunt. Looking at 10 yrs . of work and money and then close to 

 200.00 Taxes and another 200.00 + insurance, this is hunting 

 experience to me. One more comment: With only 2 plus acres, but 

 dam expencive, I don't think land owner preferanse goes far 

 enough. 



The only problem I ran into with archery hunting is that private 

 land owners seem to think that most animals that get stuck get 

 away and die because the hunter cannot track them. 



The permit situation on the C.M.R. Breaks out of Malta should be 

 looked into. I hunted in only 622 last for 2 weekends. The 

 roads got muddy so we couldn't make it down there. If we could 

 hunt any district that we wanted to, instead of only one, I could 

 of went to 621 where the roads were gravelled and maybe could of 

 seen some elk. Also in 622 it's getting harder and harder to 

 find areas to hunt. Two different people that own quite a 

 majority of the land are closing it to the public. They are 

 going to make "game ranges" out of this small area and not let 

 any of us "average" hunters hunt. They are going to get rich 

 people to pay a lot of money to shoot trophy bull. I think this 

 should also be brought up some where. 



Archery hunting in Montana basiculy is not all that bad. So much 

 depends upon the weather and the Rut that you really have no 

 control. - The one big problem is the number of Montanas elk that 

 is controlled by private land owners or lack of access to some of 

 the public lands. 



Allow access to all public land and state land. 



Stop payment of damage money to those who charge a fee to hunt 



their land.
