anyone pushing the pencel can make it say what he wants 



I think the season should be shortened at least 1 week, to give a 

 longer break between archery and general season. 



Need archery season in area 170 for whitetails, during the rut. 

 The shotgun season for does should either be before the rut, or 

 after. 



It would be nice to some day be able to hunt for trophy bull elk 

 in the Sun River refuge through a limited drawing for archery 

 only in bugleing season. 



PERMIT ONLY/ RIFLE OR BOW/ UPSETS ME GREATLY - THE PUBLIC HAVE 

 THE SAME OPPORTUNITY AS MYSELF TO BOW HUNT IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO 

 SO. LET THE FREE-MARKET WORK - IF ONE PLACE IS OVERCROWDED OR 

 POOR HUNTING; ALLOW US TO GO INTO ANOTHER AREA - PERMIT ONLY, 

 NATURALLY INCREASES PRESSURE ON ADJACENT AREAS CREATING LANDOWNER 

 & HUNTING COMPLAINTS. THE SUCCESS RATE (KILL) OF ARCHERS HAS 

 MINIMUL IMPACT. 



I'm in favor of "B" tags for antlered deer in reg. 260 



I think it ' s great the F&G is doing this but I think its time we 



start draw for deer & elk tag in gun season so we have quality 



hunts not drives . I hate to see Montana truning into another 

 Colardo! 



I think Elk and Deer hunting with a bow and arrow archery season 

 should be extended. Bring rifle season in 2 weeks later than it 

 comes in originally. 



I think you should go to a tag system like Alaska. 



More available elk would be nice. I think thath that would help 

 mu hunting prospects. I haven't hunted deer much but intend to in 

 the 170 dist. next year . Don't shorten our seasons, I can't get 

 off to hunt that frequently. Keep up the good work! 



While archery hunting pressure is not high in most areas, one 

 area needs to be limited - 447 (Highwood Mountains). The pressure 

 of hunting in the Highwoods can be eased by making it an archery 

 only area for the full-season length plus an additional four 

 weeks ( Sept thru Dec ) 



I think it would present very interesting management 

 possibilities if you would require that a hunter select just 1 

 district to hunt in. It would also present some interesting 

 problems to hunters 



It has been very warm, and they have only been bugling at night, 

 and the very early morning hour's. Last year Elk in district 203
