to 1) have tracking snow for blood & elk trails 2) Hopefully be 

 quiter in the timber (moisture) 3) Better visibility (less 

 foilage) 



I think they should have a late bow season from like Dec 15-Jan 

 10. I don't think the population would get hurt. The success 

 rate is only 12% in Montana with a bow. 



would like to see more late hunts and a less hunting with 

 vehicles . 



The two things I would most like to see changed are: a post 

 firearms season (particularlly for deer) and the opportunity to 

 take deer with a firearm & archery both. 



It seems like more of the areas open for late season elk hunts 

 could be archery only. I only know of one late season archery 

 hunt which is Porcupine Creek in the Gallatin Canyon. 



I would like to see a late season Mule Deer Hunt in Dec. for your 

 "A" Tag if not filled. 



Generally - I'd like to see longer Archery-only seasons and/or 

 more Archery only districts, (longer seasons meaning late hunts, 

 but not necessarily General Archery Season) Also, I'd like to 

 see Bowhunter ranks policed some way - through Bowhunter 

 Education or other means - to protect Bowhunter image in general . 

 All in all, I feel Bowhunters are better hunters & sportsmen and 

 care for our natural resources and wildlife more than the average 

 "Rifle hunter." Most Bowhunters would agree with me and be 

 willing to police thier ranks. 



In 1987 I hunted all year Archery & General, with my bow. I like 

 to hunt and generally pass up a dozen shots each year that I feel 

 are "iffy". Still, I feel very successful at Bowhunting. I would 

 like to see increased opportunity to hunt - especially a late 

 season for Deer & Elk - for serious Bowhunters . Thanks 



I feel post season hunt during years of low to moderate kill 

 during rifle season would give the hunters a better chance for 

 success with less animal losses due to snow cover. 



I would like to hunt elk in a season after regular season. 



Would like to see extended seasons in Dec. for Bowhunters and we 

 diffenitly need a BOWHUNTERS EDUCATION COURSE! 



A late season hunt during time school is out would be greatly 



appreciated - between Christmas & New Year Allow parents to hunt 



w/children who are students 



Allow teachers an opprotunity 



Whitetail deer would be able to stand the pressure.
