Look at the Yakima area: worst deer populations in the state. The WDFW blames hair loss caused by lice. But to me it's obvious- Those deer get killed year around by a tribe that has no closed season and no limits. The same thing could be happening in the area described by the original post in this thread.No it couldn't. Tribes up north have seasons and limits. Where did you pull the 4000 number from?They do have limits at least on paper. We get to put in for a drawing to hunt in November for 24 tags. They have 4000 tags between two tribes to use in a season they hunt for several months after us..........

Sure, it's specific areas. Look at the Yakima area: worst deer populations in the state. The WDFW blames hair loss caused by lice. But to me it's obvious- Those deer get killed year around by a tribe that has no closed season and no limits. The same thing could be happening in the area described by the original post in this thread.
Maybe I'm missing something but your argument seems completely irrelevant to me. You're giving west side info when the argument seems to be based around the Yakima area. Looking at your referenced website, it shows 0 deer taken by tribes last year in the Yakima area. IMHO that kind of makes your source look... well... Like a bad source I guess. edit: It looks like you posted while I was typing. I see now that the Yakima tribe doesn't report.... Which basically again means your source isn't really valid and argument about the Yakima tribe.http://nwifc.org/w/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2014/08/2013-2014-big-game-harvest-report.pdfThanksCurtis

It is a wild ride. This area in reference began with the Mt. Baker Wilderness. However, every tribal discussion gets turned into a Yakima discussion. ThanksCurtis

I asked for the Yakima areas stats so Bobcat could see them. But the Yakima tribe apparently doesn't participate in the reporting. So the #s are misleading
This was an honest post about specific area. Want to add to it great. But this a dipchit post like this does nothing. I have more respect for the indian that claims all this is bs than your worthless thoughts.

But this a dipchit post
It probably wont do anything. But I am addressing a serious problem that in the last several years a small group has ruined it for everybody. And you make a joke out of it. At least I am trying to make a difference. I hope now that they have wiped our spot out yours isn't next.

I would also refute the statement that there are large, easily accessible winter populations in Whatcom County. Even in areas (like Baker) the deer disperse to lowlands areas that maintain relatively low densities.

I would say gringo hit the nail on the head in this specific area(eastern Whatcom County).
