game - I enjoy just being close & watching their beauty . 



I am in favor of regulations statewide to increase numbers of 

 mature bulls. I also am in favor of increased fees to limit 

 number of cushion hunters. 



My wife doesn't think my new archery equip, is much good for 

 anything but the garbage. You see, she wanted new furniture this 

 year. OH WELL maybe next year. Maybe. 



If archery tags are brought up to the $20 level there will only 

 be a few who will buy them leave the cost where it is at - raise 

 the out of state cost - these people come in here and hunt pretty 

 cheap and they can cause havoc with in state hunters . This was a 

 good interview. 



Increasing liscence fees and making permits harder to attain only 

 makes it difficult for residents (tax payers) to hunt in their 

 own county. Having opening day in mid week also gives non- 

 residents the jump on residents. 



I believe that the archery stamp cost should be dropped because 

 you don't see a rifle hunter having to buy a rifle stamp, jsut 

 tag's before hunting. Why should we be charged extra. Archery 

 hunter should be charged fairly like all class of hunter's. Not 

 to be discriminated against having to pay extra. 



I think archery hunting in Montana is excellent the way things 

 are except that fee's should be higher like the $20.00 you have 

 in this booklet it might cut down on the parties and all the 

 people on opening day and only the serious hunters will be out. 



I think that if any or all of the management actions listed on 

 page three were applied, the best ones to go with would be the 

 license fee increases. Limiting hunters to rifle or bow only, or 

 one species or on area would seriously discriminate against many 

 archers. Also, I think that the number of bowhunters is not 

 significant enough to warrant a drawing-only license system. 



I am basicly opposed to anything that decreases hunting 

 opportunity to serious hunters . I am not opposed to methods to 

 discourage casual hunters as long as they are reasonable, such as 

 raising license fees or requireing attendance at safelty classes 

 or such as long as they are offered at times that a normal person 

 could attend. 



Leave everything as it is. If you raise archery license fee and 

 elk and deer license, you will lose me and many others from bow 

 hunting.
