The thing that bothers me most adout hunting is that Farm & 

 Landowners are getting greedy. They can't seem to make a honest 

 living so they want the Goverment & the hunter to bail them out 

 of trouble by chargeing to hunt on there private ground. 



Access to Public Lands through Private lands needs to be 

 improved. Private land owners/leasees are posting Public lands 

 in a effort to restrict access. 



For all Hunting to Remain a sport, Bow-Rifle, it doesn't matter 

 Hunting must not become a Industry For groups or Individuals to 

 make money. 

 Fee Hunting will take the Meaning out of Hunting. 



Get more BLM Land in Montana. Also let us hunt on private 

 property without permission. 



Get the access opened up to the BLM and state lands that we the 

 public pay for and cannot use. 



I will not pay to hunt private land. If a land owner does not 

 allow hunting Free, the Fish, Wildlife & Parks should not 

 reimburse the land owner for the damage to game does to the 

 owner's land. In addition. The Fish... has given out to many 

 non-resident permits, causing the land owners to lease out their 

 land to Outfitters who close the land to residents. 

 This is becoming a very bad issue among antelope hunters in the 

 700 units. Consideration to changing the amount of Tags given to 

 non-residents should be a priority. 



We hunted in area 622, and couldn't get to alot of CMR land 

 because privet landowners wouldn't let you cross there land, 

 It seems like there should be some kind of trail or access to 

 this CMR land. 



I think that to many farmers and ranchers charge. I don't think 

 this is right. 



I would like for this state to make it law for landowners to give 

 access to public ground. 



If a landowner uses public grazing we should be able to use his 

 private ground to hunt. We the hunter are loosing our right to 

 public ground. We need your help Fish Wildlife & Parks. 



It would be nice - when land is posted with its o.k to hunt sings 

 with permission that on these signs there would also be 

 information on how to get in contact with the land owner. phone 

 number or address. Its hard to ask if you con ' t find out who 

 owns the land.
