Generally satisified with opportunity to hunt with bow and arrow 

 except for bird hunters shooting in same areas . 



Duck season stops nearly all whitetail movement during shooting 

 hours if archery could be moved up 1 week and closed 1 week early 

 nearly all conflict could be avoided. The same is true with 

 special seasons like moose, big horn and goat especially close to 

 Yellowstone park where added pressure pushes elk back to safe 

 ground . 



Its hard to archery hunt when other hunters are shooting big game 

 rifles at moose. I think something should be done about the 

 early moose season. 



Grouse season is open the same time as archery season in my 

 experience the grouse hunters have a ghreater impact on the big 

 game herds than do the bow hunters . 



Very nice questinnaire. Hope it does some good. 



My only complain is opening of archery and upland game should not 

 be on the same weekend. 



It is prety hard to set and wait for a deer or anything when you 

 have everyone shotting up the places. Bow huntingis a quit sport 

 and with guns going off there is nothing around and will not be, 

 that along interups bow seson. 



Would like to see more big game archery prior to normal openiing 

 and not at same opening time as game birds. Perhpas archery 

 could open one week prior so that elk and deer wouldn't be shot 

 at by rifle/gun hunters during bow season, at least to start. 



Please keep in mind the female archer i.e.: type of bow and type 

 of vehicle. I strongly object to bird season being at the same 

 time as elk season as it allows rifles and shotguns to be 

 "available" and you have way too many non-archer hunters who are 

 saying they are bird hunters and are actually elk hunters but not 

 even close to serious. I've seen men bail out of a pickup w/ no 

 camoflage on and head out after some elk who had their tongues 

 hanging out. Sick. We need to open up the North side of the CMR 

 so that the south side si releived of that ridiculous pressure. 



I do not like having special hunting season for moose hunters 

 during archery season becuase their are too many firearms being 

 used therefore, people can poach eaiser because bow hunters 

 believe they are shooting at moose. 



In the area that I hunted in, the last week gun antelope had 

 started. 



This is not right. Archery and gun hunter do not mix. Area 631
