they are running all over. 



Also I would like to see a late season on Deer and Elk after 

 Rifle season closes I do not want to see a choice between Rifle 

 or bow. 



The cow kill quota is to high, in all districts in the Augusta 

 area 



Bow hunting in Montana the way it is now, is perfect hunting. 

 But I would suggest that we go to Branch Anterlend Elk only, for 

 Rifle season. Bow hunting doesn't have a very big impact on Elk 

 as the Rifle season does. 



If you plan any changes in involving whether to shoot spikes or 

 branched antlered animals. Please allow the spikes to be shot 

 and save the branched antlered animals 



The one thing that really helped in area 333 was establishing a 

 point requirement rule for both elk and mule deer. Although it 

 makes it difficult to determine whether a mule deer is completly 

 legal at a distance, I feel these laws have increased the larger 

 bull/buck numbers I think these rules should be more widespread. 



I think you are doing a good job for the Archery orientated 

 hunter. I would like to see 2 years of season's, both Archery & 

 General season, to be limited to 2 points or smaller for deer and 

 spikes only for elk. To give the older animals a chance to breed 

 larger young and more healthy animals . 



I hunt whitetail deer around my property. This year I didn't 

 hunt Archery as much because of a hectic work schedule. I would 

 like to expand my archery to elk hunting if my time schedule 

 would ever permitt. I would like to help in any way to keep 

 quality hunting in Montana. I believe in the branched antler 

 only system and cows issued by drawing. 



Spike Bull Elk should be legal during archery season in area 320 

 also any Buck Deer should be legal during Archery season. 



I would like to see archery season limited to cows or branch 

 antlered bulls only - 



As an Outfitter would like to see more Branch Antler or better 

 area, would like to see either, -or archery and license increase. 

 On the either-or issue the hunter could choose elk, deer or 

 antelope for Archery or all species, however the ones he does not 

 choose he could have the option of hunting with a rifle. Such as 

 elk archery deer & antelope rifle - or any comb, within. I am 

 looking foreward to the results of this survey. 



Area #200-01 St. Regis Boyd Mt. has been my best areas since I 

 was 13. Many young Bull's have been shot by Rifle hunters
