When you use your tag on archery, you are done hunting that 

 species but yet you have to buy the extra tag. 



Need more archery only areas . 



Disturbs bull elk at crucial time for breeding (last calf crop). 



I don't think I'll even buy an archery license next year. I'm 

 tired of all the Forest Service gates. 

 Too many ATV's in the hills. 



Grouse season should be started later say the first Sunday in 

 October . 



Montana should have a pre-season ahead of firearms hunting. 



I use to hunt 380 until it went to permit only for branch 

 antlered elk. While I approve of the permit system, I don't 

 believe it should apply to archery hunting. 



Special permit should not be required. 



I see no need for special permits. 



I see no purpose for a special permit. 



Dry conditions, high loss of wounded game, too many inept people 

 at shooting and tracking game. 



No access to state leased land by ranchers for cattle grazing, 

 although they can use it hunting, recreation etc. 



Closing areas to 4x4 machines; I cannot walk four mile up hill to 

 a area before hunting. 



The season should start a little earlier even if there is a brake 

 from bow to gun. 



Because there were no wardens on patrol in South Valley. Also 

 archers couldn't hunt in both districts 631 and 632. 



Compound bows should not be allowed. 



The Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks imposes experimental 

 management restrictions on archers rather than on gun hunters, 

 because they meet with less disapproval (smaller group), for 

 example, the recent change in elk archery regulations on north 

 side of Fort Peck. The very nature of this questionaire 

 indicates that we are about to be experimented on again I If you 

 want to try some new management techniques subject the entire 

 hunting population to them, rather than wishy-washing around!
