I have not read anyone comment on Practical Approach's document that he posted and that the Nooksack tribe takes 75% of the deer in that area? Or am I reading it wrong?

To which other damage tags are you referring that are not reported, other than owner permits and MH permits?Kill permits, hot spot hunts, there are at least 5or 6 different types. I will try to dig them up.

What other tribes would be hunting in the Nooksack gmu? I guess I mean tribal then... and in rereading the document it looks like tribal members take around 75% or bucks.[/quoteThere are 9 tribes that hunt all of the region 4 GMU's. Essentially the Point Elliott treaty tribes. No, that is not correct. For the Nooksack GMU the tribes took 27% of the bucks and 75% of the does.
Invisible link it is, then?
So really, only the "kill permits" are unrecorded. Are you saying that the numbers of kill permits issued would drastically affect the total statistics or are you just throwing it into the pot against the tribal kill complaints? And, do you know for a fact that when these permits are issued, they're not recorded? That seems to be the only category out of the three which applies to your comments. I have no idea how many kill permits are issued statewide each year.
For instance......Data I gathered from the Nooksack GMU. I understand that there are 50 bull tags for the Nooksack GMU. Split 50/50 with the tribes. Last season there were 33 Kill Permits issued and 30 of them were for elk. Of these 30 permits 20 elk were killed and went unreported.If you want to throw in all permits that were not in the state harvest report, 138 total elk damage tags were issued for the Nooksack herd last year. 74 total elk were harvested. None of those showed up in the harvest report.
