enjoy hunting in this great state. I would pay more to hunt if 

 the $ go toward game improvement activities. Don't limit the 

 resident to one season-Rif le-or Bow. 



Archery season is reaa good in region 1 . We sure don ' t need any 

 of these ridiculous restrictions proposed on Pa. 3 of this 

 survey. 



Just leave it alone. 



School the people . They need to know what an arrow can do . 

 Respect the sport and wildlife. Leave the season alone. 

 Regulation on branch bulls is good. Don't ask Montana hunter to 

 choose between bow or rifle. There is enough do's and don't. If 

 any body has ever hunted both sports . Knows that they are two 

 difierent challanges and sports. 



I also like some of road closures. Closing the spur roads, but 

 leaving the main road open. 



But its good if everybod follows the regulation. Last season I 

 noticed a lot of poeple don't not follow this regulation. Now it 

 hard to hunt and feel good about these rules and regulation that 

 only some of us hunter follow. If hunting in Montana going to be 

 properous for game population and hunting. Then you have to 

 educated the people more on road closures and to respect them 

 more. 



I think archery season is perfect the way it is, and should be 

 left as is. 



I eun satisfied with archery season, but I do believe there are 

 way to many archery hunters that aren ' t serious and the very good 

 area's, such as the Missouri River Breaks, are overcrowded 

 because of this. 



I'm glad the season runs up to within 1 week of the general 

 season. Archery hunting does not affect distribution of elk 

 significantly in my opinion and the few hunters that like to hunt 

 late (few in #) should have the opportunity because the impact on 

 population and general season are minimal. 



I would like to see special late seasons in specieal areas for 

 deer and possibly elk. Also more opportunity should be provided 

 to harvest goats, sheep, and moose. 



Over all I think the archery seasons are OK but I would like to 

 see a special season, maybe at the end of the bow season for 

 cross bows. 



Am quite satisfied with archery season in general. Think more 

 money should be spent on habitat and hunter-landowner relations
