In general, I'm satisfied with the hunting season and the 

 management of the antlered bulls. 



I believe the hunting along the Missouri river should include 

 both sides - Sometimes it is impossible to drive to the south 

 side because of mud, making it necessary to camp on the north 

 side which means one has to have a boat to even get to the south 

 side to hunt. I have experienced this. 



Some areas may be effected by the early archery season. Limit 

 those areas by drawing or whatever. DO NOT restrict all bow 

 hunters across the state. You limit rifle hunters in certain 

 areas by drawing for certain tags. 



I think the Breaks area north of the Missouri River should be 

 reopened to unlimited archery hunting. The pressure south of the 

 river has increased significantly because of the hunting 

 restrictions on the north side. 



In areas 404 & 444 Deer archery seasons closed to early it should 

 stay open for the rut until 15th of Dec. 



Increase the herd size in the Breaks aera. 



I think there should be more elk transplanted in districts 100- 

 101, that is planted in the high country, not down in the farm 

 lands . 



I really enjoy the archery hunting. I have a problem having 

 enough time to really hunt. An extended season would increace my 

 oportunities. 



The only comment I have is: The legal description of hunting 

 districts should be again supplied with hunting maps. The 

 hunting maps are not very clear on area boundaries. Also could 

 area 417 be included in the Elk Archery Season? There seems to 

 be a large enough herd of Elk in this district to sustain an 

 archery season. 



Regarding the Jefferson River Closure area in district #311 - the 

 quality of hunting has decreased the past two season since it has 

 been open to gun hunting - I don't think there is an over 

 abundance of white tails the this time - final comment, I know 

 several ranchers in the river bottom area who are becoming upset 

 with the hunting season and hunters "over running" the ranch 

 lands . 



I think the Archery Season should be extended for another 2 

 weeks. Sometimes at the first of the season it's to hot for the 

 animals. I also think crossbows should be allowed for bow 

 season. 



In regard to Question 8 Part II Sec. G,H,I. Why not add one week
