have both the quiet beginning & the cool, scattered hunts. Rifle 

 season would, of course, be in the middle. Also late hunts for 

 heavy populated areas. Most farmers prefer archers to riflers; 

 so is my experience . 



I would like to see the bow hunters get a chance at the late elk 

 hunt at 313 near Gardener. 



Would like a late season for elk. 



Elk hunting with a bow is set up real good and could be better if 

 a 2 wk post season hunt would be available to unfilled tags and 

 with previous archery stamps before the season deer should have a 

 sepearate tag instead of using your "A" tag on archery. I mainly 

 hunt for the meat and an "A" tag on a doe doesn't seem fair. 



I feel a late deer season is needed. The deer population is 

 hardly effected by archery hunters. 



I would really like to see a late deer season if possible after 

 the gen. season is over-because of their rut and tracking and 

 trailing. Also I would like to see a cros bow used for the 

 handicaped only if they can't draw a bow by special permit issued 

 by MT Fish and Game office Only 



With the comment on extending the season I would like to see a 

 late season archery hunt like for bulls only. 



Special late season hunts in the Gallatin (Where there are elk) 

 and in Gardner for bow only could easily be allowed without 

 harming the elk herds . 



Less cow permits-Especially in NW MT. No open season on cows. 

 More control and restriction on Indian hunting for mosse, elk and 

 deer-esp. in N.W> 



Special archery drawings for goat, sheep, moose, antelope. Raise 

 fees for all special hunts and special permits. I would pay 

 250.00 for even archery only tag. 



Would like to see two extra weeks added to the archery hunt after 

 a two week break after rifle season. 



Also would like to see special elk tags like Fort Peck go to one 

 every ten years . To give more people a chance also big horn 

 sheep and moose. 



I wish the season would be moved back a couple weeks in hope for 

 cooler weather. My biggest fear is getting something down an not 

 being able to get it out before it spoiles, so I just hunt the 

 tail end of the season in hope of some cooler weather.
