Tribal hunting bills introduced

[bobcat]

Doesn't matter who "trumps" who, what matters is conserving our wildlife for future generations, and I don't see the Yakama tribe doing that. Why is it that all of us non-tribal hunters can limit ourselves to one deer and one elk per year?

And that's not even what's actually harvested, since our success rates average around 10% for elk and 20% for deer, due to our short seasons at times of the year that favor the animals.

So basically we each get 1 deer every 5 years, and 1 elk every 10 years. Whereas if I was a Yakama member I could easily kill 10 elk and 10 deer every single year (just for example.)

How many Yakama members are killing hundreds of deer and elk every year? Well, there's no way to know, because the tribe does not have any way of keeping track, and no way of limiting the number of animals that each person takes.

Question for you, Warrior Ways-  how many Yakama members hunt deer and elk for the purpose of selling the meat and/or the head?

Another FYI, the Yakama Nation signed the treaty in 1855.  Washington did not become a state until 1889 as is the same with the State constitution.

Exactly why the treaty does not mention vehicle access and why they are concerned enough to get this bill introduced.

Well lets talk about the Lacey act of 1900, how did that come about bobcat???  You must be blind or turning your head as far as the resources the tribe has been active in.  Blame who you must just make sure you look in all directions, there are other poachers out there that are not tribal.  As for walking in, I have no problem with that since many of you know that the biggest animals do not come from road hunting.

Then why the defense of the bill? AGAIN!!!! nobody is denying access, walk, bike, horse etc, just no motorized vehicles.

Stick to the topic at hand, the mods will take care of any bashing.

[Warrior Wayz]

Not from what I have been reading, bashing is another form of bullying and that stems from being SCARED.

Do you care to address my points or are you're intentions simply to take this off topic?

[Warrior Wayz]

We dont bash about all of the duck hunting that goes on without tribal permits and also the use of battery powered mojo ducks that are allowed only on the reservation and no where else in the State.

Not that I want to get bashed but sometimes the mods are just like you and me and get a little heated or  not in a foul language type of way but just saying--- it's not bad for someone who wants to stand up for their beliefs to come on this forum to make sure their point is heard

Agreed, but it needs to stick to the topic at hand, or else he can start his own thread.

This thread has nothing to do with those issues, if you would like to address them then start another thread please.

So you ask a question and then tell people to start a new thread? Didnt like the facts it appears.

Correct, those issues have zero to do with the bills.
