I challenge you to find one sound biological reason to restrict 

 archers in suggested manners in Montana. Excluding the Missouri 

 breaks congestion problem of recent - 99% of Montana has little 

 or no problem supporting the Archery hunting it provides - I know 

 the same cannot be said regarding gun hunting in Montana. 



I approve the Montana Hunting System, it doesn't need many 

 changes . 



I thoroughly Enjoy the Archery season for Elk in Montana & have 

 hunted for ten years. I like the season times (dates) & would 

 like to see few changes with the exception of more road & trail 

 closures to motorized vehicles. 



I'm satisfied with the archery season as it now stands for my 

 hunting areas - If Bow Hunter competition in specific areas (i.e. 

 Missouri Breaks) becomes extreme, please fix the congested area 

 only and don't apply special rules to the rest of the state where 

 they are not needed. 



If archery licenses were to become available only through a 

 limited drawing throughout the state, would the Fish & Game Dept. 

 be willing to purchase my archery equip, from me?? 



I like hunting like it is. 



Please don't change things to hurt the good & safe hunters!!!! 



The greatest quality of MT. hunting is that you can pursue many 

 species at once. With a bow you need all the breaks you can get 

 (especially at age 65). 

 Don't mess that up!

leave a well working system alone 



I bealive archery hunting in Montana is great just the way it is, 

 nobody should have any complaints because the ruler are right. I 

 do think hunters should have licenses & tags before opening day 

 comes around. 



Your archery season has always been very agreable to me, not much 

 need for change thank you. 



Leave the Bow Season alone. Its just fine the way it is. 

 It its not broken - then don't fix it. 



Happy with things as they are. 



I think the archery season is O.K. the way it is, but some things 

 might improve it. I think the best way to improve, is to
