Pretty crazy! Think about all the does that would have been bred by those bucks and passing along their good genes. I just wish that things to this extent could be tried as more then just hunting violations and could be major felonies. I just hope that it doesn't turn into, state vs tribal and he ends up getting a reduced punishment. He should be in jail for years, not weeks or months.

Great to see that enforcement is trying to do something about this.  I can't imagine how often it really happens. Discusting for sure.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

 This guy is a disgrace to his tribe and to all ethical hunters. He should be locked up for a long time. :bash: Sickening.

Unfortunately this happens a lot.  Above the white mans laws.  We all know not all tribal guys are like this, but sure doesn't help the perception.

Disgusting little punk. Of course it will go the direction of tribal privilege, otherwise there is absolutely no defense, although not much with. I think all hunting laws should be consolidated.  It seems like no one can discriminate for public services anymore so why should hunting be different?  Game is migratory and reservations should be treated just like private land where game regulations are concerned.  99% of tribal members are so removed from tribal tradition anymore that traditional use should no longer be any defense.  If you want to live in a wikiup and live a subsistence lifestyle than you might have a defense. Otherwise live like the rest of us and put up with the ridiculous game regs in this state.

Charged on 33 counts in Okanagon Superior Court, not tribal court.
Tribal "privilege" should not play a part in this.    Like I said, should.....  :rolleyes:
