It sounds to me like the fish & game is looking for a new way to 

 collect revenue from the sports man; archery is still in good 

 shape, so why dosent the Fish & Game leave things alone. And it 

 will stay that way 



I feel the present regulations concerning the archery season are 

 very adequate. No majorchanges need to be made. We do need to 

 charge out-of-state hunters more for this privilege. 

 Also I would like an answer to my question about area 324. 



I am generally satisfied with bow hunting in Montana. It's 

 considerable better than most other states. 



Archery is Fun. Access is a problem for me. I've seen people 

 chase elk during archery season just to keep archers from them. 

 Don't change things as I think they are quite Fair. Archery 

 doesn't have much of an impact on game. 



Killing not important, but opportunity to hunt for the most 

 number of Days is highly important to me - Both with bow & rifle. 

 I moved to Montana primarily to have the opportunity to do more 

 Elk hunting. 



Please don't make any major changes in present archery seasons & 

 please do not make us choose between bow & rifle unless harvest 

 becomes too high. 



Please do not break up our existing archery and general big game 

 seasons! Our state is among the finest big game hunting areas 

 throughout the world. Don't screw up a good thing - leave the 

 seasons stand as they are. 



I haven't hunted with a bow much because of Injuries I've had. 

 What little I did seemed great and haven't seen much problem with 

 the way the archery season is . 



At this time I like the way Montana has it's seasons set up. I 

 love to hunt and spend a lot of money hunting - Birds, antelope. 

 Deer, Elk, Ducks & Geese. Thank you for your concern for 

 wildlife & habitat. 



Just leave archery season the way it is. 



Bow hunting in our area is just fine. Its the skill of it, that 

 is hard. 



Question 8 Section D - I would not be opposed to the increase 



except for the reason listed. if the money were to go for 



habitat or management or Hunter Education I would support the 



increase. 



I approve of the Archery season As it now stands, this way if I'm 



able to harvest an animal during archery season I can't hunt that
