I would like to see a new law that if you are successfull in 

 getting a elk then you would have to give up big game hunting 

 until next year. If a person gets a elk during archery he can 

 still yet get another one in the rifle season. Lets pay more 

 attention to the instate hunter. 



We should start looking at the amount of military people hunting 

 in Montana with Military I.D, and not paying out of state 

 license. Just something to think about with the new growth of 

 Malstrom AFB. 



I think as a bow hunter that elk season should be extended like 

 the whitetailed deer expecetaty for those who has a cow tags and 

 dont fill their tag's during reg season or just for the sport of 

 it and for harossting the cows and cave's that need to be thened 

 out. 



Elk population in 621-623 has not recovered from the excessive 

 rifle kill-off several years ago when so many rifle permits were 

 issued. The Fish & Game blamed archery pressure for this - but 

 the real reason was Fish & Game error in issuing so many rifle 

 permits several years ago. Rifle permits should be cut back to 

 perhaps 1/4 untill the population returns to normal in that area. 



In area 62 3 there is too much early morning and late evening road 



travel along the river where the elk congregate at night. I 



suggest that you could limit travel within 1 mile of the river to 



a period in the middle of the day, for example 10 am to 4 pm with 



an exception made for game retrieval. 



Since we have to apply for a permit in 623 I would like to see a 



post season hunt. 



If a landowner feels he has too many deer - issue him extra doe 



permits for his ranch. 



I think that there sould be more elk planted in Dillon because 

 there isn't all that many mostly cows and calves. 



I would like to see archery season stay either sex but come 

 general fire arm season I would like it to go to bulls only. I 

 believe this would increase the populations of elk in this area. 



I hunted area 310 (archery only) Porcupine Creek, 2 years ago 

 during Janary. I believe an area like this is great for archery 

 hunting in general and wish there were two or three areas, such 

 as this, set asside for archery only from beginning of archery 

 season through entire late season. 



I would like to see district 324 opened back up to bowhunting if 



not fully how about on a permit basic. 



Also in no way would I like to see crossbows legal during archery 



season. 



How about a late either sex white-tailed hunt. 



I was in the process of building a house during the 1987 season
