points) . 



I feel that the archery season, as is now, is just fine. I am 

 opposed to including crossbows or muzzleloaders . 



I think the archery season should stay the same. 



I think the Seasons should be lift just as they are, I don't want 



to see them shortened Ive hunted five years with a bow and havent 



killed any thing. 



If they raise licence or shortening the Season, I'll quit archery 



hunting. 



Please leave it alone Fix Rifle Season before you try to mess up 

 Bow season - I beleive you should make Rifle season branch antler 

 bulls after first week so the young of the year aren't 

 slaughtered. 



I find the regulations just fine, leave the archery program 

 alone. I would like to see the Game Commision come out with some 

 of their thoughts through the news media, prior to the seasons 

 start, so that a person could responc to them sooner. 



Ref: Part II, Question 8: Oregon instituted many of these 

 changes a long time ago & it is a mess. I moved from that state 

 to Montana for that reason alone. I would urge Montana to leave 

 the laws and seasons alone. They are fine as they are. There is 

 more game now than ever before. We must be doing something right 

 as it is. Every new rule or regulation just removes another 

 freedom . 



P.S. The only reason I missed the 2 elk I shot at was because I 

 hit a twig & deflected the arrow. I see lots of game but it is 

 usually out of range or in too dense of cover for a good shot. 

 Non-the-less, I love the freedom and just being out there and 

 being able to have a variety of areas to hunt & equipment to use 

 at any given time, please don't change it. 



I am satisfied with the Archery season and regulations the way 

 they are now and would like to see them stay the way they are. 



I was satisfied with archery hunting this year! I feel that no 

 change is necessary. 



I am new to the sport of archery hunting. It is more of a 

 challenge than hunting with the rifle. I would not want to see 

 the fees increased or the hunting period reduced. 



Do not change the present system! Archery hunters are not 

 significantly impacting game populations! The fees are 

 acceptable as they are! 



Leave the season alone Don't change it?
