thought possible. We shoot in an archery league to stay practiced 

 all year. I am looking forward to next season. 



It was only my first year, but I really enjoy the sport. It is 

 challenging and also there isn't crowds in your favorite spot. I 

 also got a thrill out of listening to the bulls bugle. 



I am opposed to a decrease in the length of our hunting seasons . 

 Not having taken a trophy this past season did not significantly 

 affect ny enjoyment of hunting. The thrill of getting close to 

 bugling bulls and seeing game in the natural setting is success 

 enough for me. 



I really like the bow season in Mont. I think it the way to hunt 

 although I havent been very sucessful Myself, but that is not 

 that important to me. I just like the challange. 



ARCHERY HUNTING HAS BEEN A GOOD GAME MANAGEMENT IN GERENT SPECIAL 

 AREA'S IT HAS TOUGHT MANY YOUNG HUNTER'S BETTER SPORTSMANSHIP & 

 HUNTING SKILL'S MOST ARCHERS ARE GOOD SPORTMAN AND HUNTERS 



1987 was my first year expirence with archery hunting. I have 

 been educated by the frustrations and by the smartness of the 

 game. I am thouroghly hooked and intend to use the hard learned 

 lessons to try extra hard to harvest game the following season. 



I really enjoy bow hunting, it is a real thrill to get close to 

 big game animals and feel your heart increase to a roar, even the 

 trembling afterwards is great. A natural high, its worth the time 

 and effort of the stalk, but, the river bottom is getting so bad 

 with orange signs and posts that it stops the fun for the serious 

 stalker, the riverbottom land owners should be (one mans opinion) 

 more open to bow hunters . 



I know its hard to come up with a season that will please 

 everybody. I feel you must hunt with a bow to appreasiate the 

 challange it presents - not to disturb the game and be able to 

 work yourself into a possition of a close range shot (under 35 

 yrds) I believe most archers know more about the game they hunt 

 than other hunter 



I like to Archery hunt - It is more of a chalange. With a gun you 

 just go get your meat, with a bow you may get as close as 10 

 feet, but not get the shot you want. That is what make me coming 

 back to bow hunting the chalange.
