not want to give up my right to archery hunt just because I 

 choose also to rifle hunt, or vice-versa. I would be happy to 

 answer more questions, if you wish. 



Would hate to see a rifle or bow option it would not be fair to 

 the hunters who enjoy both. 



They ought to close more roads. To many road hunters in Western 

 Mt. Give the game a place to go without alot of pressure. 



I hunt with both rifle & bow and don't feel there should be 

 limitations put on my preference. If you look at the overall 

 archery success, it doesn't have that much impact on game 

 population. I hunt for enjoyment and not just to kill. 



I do not wont the passing of only bow hunting and not rifle 

 hunting. . . . 



Favor designating one B tag in area 260 as either sex whitetail. 

 Strongly oppose the "Either or" proposition and any other action 

 designed to limit bowhunting opportunities. 



I strongly feel hunters has to choose either archery season or 

 rifle season but not both - I myself hunt both, however: ! The 

 only problem is with just bow or rifle season, is, there won't be 

 any archery stores left because it will cut down on many Bow 

 hunters. You guys and Gals are doing a great job in out Hunting 

 and Fishing. Thanks, keepup the good work 



Archery season is just fine the more F.W.P. modifies the season 

 the more limitations the true bow hunter will have. 



I hope Bob Jensen has a little more concern and open mind about 

 archers and control our out of state people, also never cut our 

 season or go either or hunting. Thank you!! 



This survey seems to suggest something is wrong with the archery 

 season yet nothing is defined as such. Each year more hunters 

 begin archery hunting. I would favor an election of 

 archery/rifle hunting as a way of limiting the number of archers, 

 if this did not run over to moose, sheep, goat, etc. I hunted 

 this year for days without hearing anything but other hunters but 

 when I went to an area where there were many elk, the elk bugled 

 as they always had. 



If it comes to choosing between rifle or bow, then I hope they 

 divide the species as elk versus deer. I enjoy elk hunting with 

 bow but don't hunt deer at all with bow but do with rifle. 



I hope that we in Montana can do what question fi letter a refers 

 to. I believe it would do away with all the slob Bow hunters we 

 have in this state And give those of us who take Archery 

 seriously better hunting / I spend to much money and time to have
