should be allowed to shoot a deer with bow, and with a gun when 

 the fire arm season opens, but not 2 elk on account of low elk 

 population. 



At the present time I am satisfied with archery hunting in 

 Montana . 



We have a good archery season here in Montana; please don't screw 

 it up. 



I am not an archery fanatic or a purist. I think that the number 

 of archery permits issued should be based objectively on harvest 

 data, not on a restrictive quota designed to make archery hunting 

 easier for fewer archers. I am satisfied with the present 

 archery hunting opportunities. 



Everything is O.K. with me the way it is . I lost this 

 questionnaire in some magazines. 



The archery season and regulations are just fine. To quote an 

 old cliche - "If it works don't fix it"! 



Please do not change the archery season. The management practice 

 work well now. 



Bowhunter education will reduce the slob hunters and make it a 

 quality sport. 



Archery hunting should be an enjoyable sport. Keep the 

 restriction and bureaucratic policy out. 



Please leave archery hunting as it is - don't screw it up! 



I like archery season the way it is and would really hate to see 

 it changed much one way or the other. It provides a large 

 opportunity for recreation with a limited draw on the resource 

 and always the possibility that success is just ahead. 



I feel the bow season should be left as it is. It gives you a 

 good time sport and hunt. 



1) For personal reasons I did not hunt elk much in 1987. 2) 

 Don't screw with the seasons, etc. - If it ain't broke, don't fix 

 it! 3) You folks change the rules way too often ! 4) Guided wife 

 on moose hunt during archery season (1987). Saw hundreds of elk 

 in 310 - we quit counting but could have seen same elk repeatedly 

 - probable. 5) Rather than trying to "make work" for too many 

 employees, how about firing the excess people. Things are fine 

 the way they are now. 



Archery is a difficult and rigorous sport, which requires 

 significant amounts of practice and physical conditioning.
