have yet to c? with a bow. I rely on the rifle season to fill 

 the freezer. 



I would like to see higher fines for game offenders to keep 

 people honest. Also I would like to see license sales after 

 opening day stopped. It would stop a lot of illegal activities 

 among rifle hunters. 



I could have killed several Bear Deer & Elk but passed up the 

 shots For Bigger Animals. 



I would like to see archery only for Bear From May 15th - 31st. 

 And I would like to see the cow season in the swan 

 130,110,103,120 & 102 closed completley until the numbers 

 recover! Thank you. 



I enjoy being out archery hunting in the fall. I hunt for fun 

 and for meat to use. I am not a 'trophy' hunter and prefer a cow 

 to a bull. I am satisfied with the archery season as it is 

 currently structured. 



I believe the hunting ? are fairly good. There should be some 

 attempts to bring in more out-of-state money, but not at the 

 expense of residents. Most of us hunt for pleasure and enjoyment 

 of the outdoors; but also for the meat. 



I use a compound bow but would gladly switch back ro a recurve if 

 we were allowed to use only non-mechanical bows — advancements 

 in equipment designs is getting out of hand. 

 I favor management for more trophy animals. 



Have large family so hunt with Bow mostly for the meat! The Deer 

 I saw were on posted land, & woud have been Long shots for a 

 scoped Rifle! 



My success bow-hunting measured in terms of meat in my freezer is 

 nill. Many factors can account for this. I am still learning all 

 the time both in where to hunt and how to hunt with my bow. The 

 biggest reasons I bowhunt are to expand my opportunities for meat 

 in deep freeze. (I don't care about trophies!) and to explore new 

 areas early (before general season) while honing my hunting, 

 skills, and being able to hunt legally while doing so just in 

 case of a good opportunity. 



Sorry, but I am retired & on my income I hunt for the meat & 

 could care less about the trophy. 



Archery Hunting in the area where I hunt has light pressure, 



which is the main reason I archery hunt. 



I pass up small antlered animals as I'm more of a trophy hunter. 



Elk hunting seems to be pretty good in my district (121). I'd 

 like to see some bigger bulls but I don't think we can manage for 

 just bigger bulls either. I am a meat hunter with hopes of
