I think the way it is sett up now is working good. Theres not 

 alot of people that kill anything with a bow. And if they do, 

 they deserve getting that animal. Its not easy with a bow. You 

 don't need anymore regulations on bow hunting or shortening the 

 season. Theres enough laws out there already. 



Archery hunting is fine for me the way is stands. I got into it 



to add to my season I get with a rifle, and because it was 



relatively inexpensive. 



Montana has a pretty good archery season. Ask me again when I 



get more experience with the season. 



Thank You for the opertunity and priviledge to hunt in Montana. 



I would like to see all bow & rifle hunting stay the same as it 

 is. Some people love to hunt both bow & rifle. I for one just 

 love to bow hunt. We don't have elk in our area, so we have to 

 travel, but we have in out area the best white tail hunting, so 

 to hunt a certian district is out in my book! 



I think for the most part Bow hunting should stay easy 



Because most Bow hunters are not that good and only, as I do it 



part time and for the fun of it. 



I like it the way it is. 



I am satisfied with the Montana archery season but would like to 

 see a couple small changes and think this survey should be 

 helpful . 



Leave as is. Everytime they close area's they then force more 

 hunters in less area which kills more. 



I think they should keep archery hunting the way it is. 



I like the archery season the way it is. I have hit a big 6X6 

 bull in the horns. I have also seen several 7 point bulls but 

 never to get close enough. 



Hunting pressure and distribution is determine by the type of 

 hunter or sportsman. 



To me the big game archery season is working well. Thanks for 

 tring to make it better. 



I love the time the hunt and the weather. I am completely 

 satisfied even though I never get an elk. I had a beautiful 

 spike bull at approximately 70 yards broadside and did loose an 

 arrow. I want to be close, sure and positive no wounded lost 

 animals for me if I can help it. 



I feel the archery season is fine the way it is. 



I do not want to see any changes that restricts bow hunting
