Any pics of the Hanford Bulls this year???

Blacktailer I sorry it came to this. Living here not far feom the hanford bulls it just ticks me off hearing of them be poached. Natives have the right to hunt whenever with no game limits. I understand that but i don't agree with it. Like I said if everyone could do it there wouldn't be anything to hunt. Restrictions build great hunting. And I hate to see that anyone could get away with nothing but maybe a slap on the wrist for killing a big bull on federal closed land or even private land that is no tresspassing. If I ever own land with some decent deer or elk hunting you can garauntee that my property will be marked with signs everywhere saying trespassers will be shot. If you'd have a big bull tag you could feel free to call me up and is give permission. But if you poached on my land and I caught you then id probly *censored*
Might be a little out of context but oh well.

This statement is generalized and is 100% incorrect.  I cannot hunt whenever and do have certain game limits. here is a link to the game regs for this season including special draws.

I'm never standing up around you!

[igotbigbulls]

Im familiar with their regs but maybe Plat or another Yakama member can chime in on this if he is around or post a link to their regs.  you could also look it up online.

What are your tribes penalties when someone doesnt obey those laws?

Igotbigbulls your rules are stricter than I thought and Im sorry for being ignorant. You have seasons but no bag limits.

[igotbigbulls]

That is true that there are only bag limits for the special draws only.  Hopefully common sense is used by most in harvesting methods.  Penalties include loosing hunting rights for a year or more, loss of weapons, vehicles, arrest and fines.

As a whole I feel pretty comfortable saying that a ton more trophy animals are killed by whites poaching than natives by simple percentage points of population. 

[igotbigbulls]

We all know its an ongoing issue for the tribal members that blast multiple trophy animals because they can during vulnerable situations like weather or mating times.  Until kill reports are implimented for big game this will continue to be an issue without actually knowing the harvest numbers.  I feel the estimates that are given by the state in conjunction with the tribe are close.

I would have to completely disagree with you on that.  But this subject goes no where and unfortunately nothing us non natives can do about it, and they know it.

If using washington percentage, than I strongly disagree with your statement.

[igotbigbulls]

What numbers do you base your disagreement on?

[mrmoskillz]

I say post the pics if you got em!  There is already enough talk of big bulls from the unit that if someone is going to poach there going to poach.  I like seeing big bulls and just because I know where they are doesnt mean I'm going to go poach one.

[Bigtine96]

You will go to federal prison, they will not

Didn't post any numbers, nationally then possibly but in washington state indian poachings vs white poachings is what I was referring to.
