Part II - NO RESPONSES 



ARE YOU GENERALLY SATISFIED WITH ARCHERY HUNTING IN MONTANA AS IT 

 NOW STANDS? WHY? 



Conflict with bird hunters, and cattle grazing on forest land 

 during season. 



Too many archers around that aren't serious; road hunters for 

 example . 



Because you have to take a test so that you can hunt with a bow. 

 You already passed your hunter safety test and you study some of 

 the bow hunter safety and the rifle is just as deadly or even 

 more than a bow. But what I'm really mad about is that I have 

 just bought a bow and I won't be able to hunt with it next year 

 because you have to take a test. And they already started the 

 test when I was in sports and I couldn't make it. 



Too many people lose animals and it disturbs the elk breeding. 

 Season should be in December, for snow to track. 



Open north of Missouri River for elk. 



I'm limited to choosing one area between 622, 623 and 631, and if 

 no game in that area I want to hunt elsewhere. 



I think that it should be more widely encouraged. 



Game need to be more abundant. 



I would like season to start later. 



I believe there should be a late season after the rifle season is 

 over. 



Too many incompetent archers in field. 



I mainly hunt in northwest Montana and feel there are not enough 

 elk, especially bulls. 



I think bowhunters should have to pass a test before a license is 

 issued. 



Need to start same time and run to first Saturday before rifle 

 season. 



Too many incompetent archers . 



Access/during normal weather 401 is almost unreachable without
