or rifle! 



I've gotten to stalk elk & deer each year I've gone out. While 

 I've never hit anything, each trip to the "Breaks" or Larb Hills 

 has always been a great thrill. 



I have never been very serious about Bow hunting as it is a 

 chance to get out and hunt grouse, see wildlife, ect. 



We need to instill in people that Bowhuntings is an attitude, not 

 just another way to kill an animal. Lord if all I wanted to do 

 was kill an animal, I wouldn't bowhunt. It is an attitude of 

 anticipation within self-imposed limits. The more limits the 

 better a woodsman (person) is made. 



Please don't allow this to become only a rich mans or lucky man 

 (drawings) sport. The hunters who continually get bull elk have 

 the time to hunt & generally are the same ones that accomplisghed 

 this with a rifle in the past. Also, the elk have become 

 smarter, because of increased calling but isn't that the point 

 the challenge! I doubt I would be inclined to hunt them if it 

 were easy. Success would never be so sweet again. 



Archery hunting is a good sport It gives the animals a fair 

 chance and hunters that are not real serious only last year or 

 two at the most Because it is not jest a mater of finding the 

 animals you have to stock them and it puts you against them, 

 unlike Rifel hunting - this season could be shortened and it 

 would not hurt my feelings a bit 



I believe Archery hunting is the most safe source of hunting 

 their is . Landowners are less leniant on Bowhunters and all more 

 apt to let them hunt as opposed to rifle hunters. 



I enjoy hunting with a bow. It gives me a chance to get out in 

 the Mountains when it is nice out. 



I totally enjoy archery hunting whether I get game or not. I am 

 very satisfied with current rules, seasons, etc. 



I primarily hunt Buck deer. A few times I do venture after elk. 

 Deer are plentifull where I live and do have a lot of Access. 

 Archery Season for me is primarily good time to get in shape, see 

 game, and generally enjoy myself. I am not a kill crazey nut, as 

 some of the hunters (ethier Archer or Riflle) I have encountered. 

 Note: I dQ turn in any illegal Action I may encounter. 

 I enjoy Recreational unting 



If only this point could be stressed to others. It would 

 eliminate a lot of problems. 



Archery hunting is exciting and fun. I like the season of 

 Archery before the General season of rifle because It alows me to
