general season. 



Do not change a thing! 



I really enjoy Bow Hunting. I am happy with the seasons as is 

 I Bow hunt Because I enjoy Being out not For the Kill. 



I don't want you to change anything about archery hunting in 

 Montana except maybe making bowhunter education mandatory. 



I thoroughly enjoy archery hunting in MT & I feel the system now 

 presents works fine but many of the suggestions in here could 

 make t? Better. 



Don ' t make any changes 



Please leave thing as they are 



I think in general that the deer and elk archery season in 

 Montana is superb, it gives a person a chance to get out among 

 the animals even if you don't get an appropriate shot at the 

 animals. In 3 years of hunting I have shot only 3 arrows at deer 

 and elk, but I enjoy emmensly being out and having the 

 anticipation of a shot at close range, of one of our big game 

 animals . 



I'm pleased with the way the season is. 



No 



Don ' t Change Anything 



Don't change anything 



I am allowed one animal and I feel that I should not be 

 restricted in the time or place or how I get my one animal . 

 Don't change things that are fine now. 



I do most of my hunting locally, an hour or two in the everning 

 or morning. Therfore I enjoy the time and length of the season. 

 It fits well with my work scedual and is very relaxing. 



I have been Bow Hunting for over thirty years and have never got 



an animal. I am very accurate with a bow but, am not a good 



staker . 



Bowing hunting to me is a good excuse to get out in the Hills and 



go for a walk. I always get Deer, Elk and antelope with my 



rifles. If Montana became and "Either or" State, I would have to 



choose Fire Arms for hunting. 



It is my feeling that few hunters get anything with a Bow and 



when someone does they are given a lot of publisity. That 



wouldn't even be noticed if they had taken any elk with a rifle. 



Lets leave the laws like they are now.
