DVolmer....  I edited some content on page three.  Please refrain from making comments such as that on Huntwa. They will not be tolerated.   Thank you.

This is a tough issue, but somehow we need to talk it out. I don't see how insults will help to resolve the problem for our wildlife.

  Spank me now.   these issues will never be talked out until all hunters are treated equal in washington. 
   It is no longer what should have/ would have, but today, and wildlife management.
  The people of washington go by rules set by the state.  There are the natives that claim the still need special hunting rights to maintain their way of life.  News flash times have changed! 
  We all need to hunt by the same rules to protect our valuble resorces.
  Get real natives.  Really you still need those benefits to survive today?  Come on!

i waffle back and forth on this issue quite a bit.  they dont need the benefits to survive today, but they have them and will fight like hell to hold on to them.  cant say i wouldn't do the same.  and what they're fighting for is to keep their heritage alive, which i think is really cool, but i think in 2012, with falling fish counts, dwindling animal herds, and opportunities in the dumpster, we should all be playing by the same rules.

like i said, i flip flop a lot!

Amen.  I am done.  You cant talk sense to people who think Just because they can they are better than you.  Nothing we will say will ever change this.  If roles were reversed they would be just as angry as the "Angry Mob" but they will defend there "Special Interest group" as long as they can.  Once again I say how can you make sense when they have the menatlity that "They lick there balls because they can".  Its like the dog down the street.

I agree, the whole issue really bugs the hell out of me.  Its emotionally charged and there won't be a change until an uprising occurs basically.

You could always go lick the balls of your legislators to see if any of them will take to task the modification of the treaties.
You write fairly well so take a swing at writing a letter to your legislator.  If you put as much typing energy toward your letter as you have with this thread, you might actually get somewhere.
Please feel free to report back when you find out your legislator gives you, in the nicest way possible, a "wtf, are you crazy?  I'm an elected official and I really like my political career and I would be an idiot if I tried to bring this form of legislation to committee."

Do i like it?  Not particularly.
Do I respect the letter of the law and the foundation for the treaties?  Yes.
Do I waste my time (any more than I did here) posting about the disdain for antiquated treaty language?  Once a year!   
Will it ever change to where both sides of this fence can find common ground for the betterment of fish and wildlife?  Verbally, maybe.  In writing, not in our lifetime.

That is all and thank you for your time in this matter.

  an uprising has begun!  We all need to write our legislature and let them know what is happening.  I will report back.  WE ALL NEED TO DO THIS.  Everyone who feels the same way on this site and in the state.

Real soon it will be the wolves fault and the indians can be left alone

Unfortunately, thats the last card in the deck for our wildlife.
