Local Indians carrying rifles during bow season and hunting deer

[billythekidrock]

Heard two quinaults shot 2 bulls up the wishka in a farmers field and got ticketed by the game wardens for hunting off reservation.

Sad thing is nothing will happen. And they know it. Thats why they do it. There untouchable from any state law. State will not fight them. Its a loosing battle.

A fed once told me that the only thing that could happen to them is a tresspassing/private property type ticket, BUT it has to be reported by the land owner.

I'm just glad there aren't any wagon burners in my areas. 

A bit off topic, but I took the buck I killed on September 1 this year into the meat shop, and was surprised to see it was nowhere near the first animal that had been brought in.  I asked the woman about the deer and elk that were brought in in July/August, and she told me that they were all tribal kills.  Pissed me off to say the least.

Makes me wonder what the deer population would look like if they were to stop hunting period.  I know 4 years ago the makahksucker tribe at neah bay had a 2800 fish winter blackmouth opener in january and took 52000 which they called incedental's.  The following year you couldn't find many kings near the coast and numbers were at an all time low.  It would be nice if their incedental's would count against the entire states tribes annual quota so that we could build up our native and hatchery runs.  The only thing the indians have ever done was create the sockeye fisheries in the baker river.

Wouldn't suprise me a bit.  Wish there was something we could do as sportsman.

I had some friends that used to throw hay bales in the rivers when they were netting, not that I advocate any illegal activity.
