Tribal hunting bills introduced

[Green broke]

Phool I'm guessing you are are referring to me with your comment. Lets see we voluntarily quit hunting a unit because the herd was in trouble. We meet with the wdfw. We helped with funding and  even did some augmentations on our own.  We self limit in different gmus. Where do you get your info on me and my actions?  I even tried to give a little insight to you specifically because I respect anyone with as much passion you have for wildlife.

Video of the initial hearing. WDFW and DNR starts at 8:30

What value did this guy bring?  That was most pointless dribble I have ever heard.  (the gentleman that spoke at 8:30.

Well, he probably wants to keep his appointed job as the WDFW chief, and appear somewhat modest on this topic to prevent it from turning into a perceived racist...!

To my knowledge I've never met you GB, I was not referring to you.

The puyallup panel was pretty interesting.  Officer Herrera claims that there is not enough land for the tribes to hunt and they are so concentrated.  Barbara Miller gets on there and says that they have no effect on the wintering populations because they have so few hunters.

I am surprised no sportsman showed up.  Looked like McCoy was shocked as well.

Bigtex would this change state jurisdiction when it comes to saftey related violations?

I am not surprised sportsman may not have shown. How many anti gun bills are before the legislature? Very hard for guys to make themselves available for making comments in public at a hearing.  And, especially on tribal issues, I am sure most hunters feel that the cards are stacked against the non tribal entities...

I am sure most are feeling pretty burnt out over the past 4 years and are now looking at 4 of the same or worse.

1495 is about motorized access behind locked gates on Conservation lands, NAP's, NRCA's and other lands where motorized travel is restricted. Tell your legislators you will support the Bill if motorized travel is prohibited.

I am So tired of the government and their regulation ... Lately the government is wanting to regulate everything ... this country belongs to all of us and the government keeps stepping over the line ...I can see it already ...it another 10 yrs every river and all state lands will have signs up everywhere ...Saying TRIBAL FISHING & HUNTING ONLY !!!! Unauthorized personnel will be executed  I am personally tired of all of it and this is why I can not seem to like any of them ...The government and all of its agencies  when I sit here thinking of how the times have changed in the last 10 yrs alone my stomach hurts ..Can not freely drive up a mountain road , can not head to the river and catch salmon , can not pull over at a rest station without seeing a discover Pass sign taped to the sheeter and on & on ....

I am with you!!! .Its time to fight back
