I don't think there's a problem with our archery season's except 

 that we need more branch antlered areas for archery and rifle 

 season. 



I believe archery should be able to harvest either sex 

 iregardless of species hunted. 



Feed is the factor that determines the movements of the elk. Not 

 the hunters . We should let the spikes grow into branch antlered 

 bulls. 



No-shooting of spike is the best law I've seen for some time. 

 Should be in all dist. 



In general it is a very good hunting experience but I realy think 

 that all south west Mt. should be branch antler bull. 



Over all I am satisfied with archery options in Montana. Hunt 

 both rifle and bow, but I would be I favor of a post season hunt 

 for bow or the option of harvesting a deer especially whitetail 

 in both seasons 



I generally feel that nothing should be done to change archery 

 hunting in Montana. Montana offer excellent opportunity and 

 present seasons and regulations should be left unchanged. 



The archery season is just fine the way it is. Please don't 

 screw it up! 



I feel the bow hunting is in good shape. Although it may be 

 extended to a longer season. 



The system overall is very well managed. Don't change. 



In the 261 district It's hard to get access to whitetail. Its 

 hard to hunt 50 acres with 50 hunters. There's not to many 

 hunters, just not enough land to hunt. You can't do anything 

 about that. That just seems to be the biggest. Archery problem 

 with me and most bowhunters . I don ' t see any need for any 

 changes .
