Letter Regarding Colockum Elk - The Reel News "The Tribes Killed Elk"

--- Quote from: NCWCracker on December 23, 2008, 05:09:40 PM --- Agree, that some organized pressure needs to be put together to get WDFW and the Yakamas to come to a real, enforcable, sustainable game management plan for that area. No more political correctness. What the tribe is doing is not politically correct, so why does the State have to be? Organize and force the issue!! If the true activity really got good media coverage, people would freak.
48 branched bulls taken by a handful of guys is friggin' sick.

If we did that they would turn it around on us , i doubt it will ever change . But i would be on board to try , I have a neighbor who used to feed the elk at Joe Watt and he has had to open the gate a few times to let them go get the meat , otherwise he said they just take the antlers and leave the meat
ELKBURGER:
The entire state is been ravaged by treaty abuse. There are tribes in all regions decimating herd numbers. Mt. st. helens has had alot of tribal hunting in the margaret, toutle, and loowit gmu's. If the WDFW hasnt done anything by now, it will take some major efforts on the taxpayers to get this thing under control. Where do I sign?!
NWTFhunter:
For anyone living in this general area..... From what buck470 posted you have a legit complaint if you are seeing any part of the treaty being broken. Such as animals being left, only part of the animal harvested, use of unauthorized calibers, use of light sorces, or out of season.
Ok, we can bitch and complain til we are blue in the face here. Or we can get organized and stand up and say we are not going to stand for this.
Anyone wanting to take the next step and organize let me know I will sign a petition or attend any meetings.
I know that we are not going to stop the tribal hunting, but they must follow the rules set forth by the WDFG and the Tribal Council. If we want the rules changed they are not going to happen by any of us sitting on our larrals, we have to put the pressure on WDFG and our wonderful Gov. to make the change.
Craig:
Why don't some of the tribes around here take a trip down to Arizona and New Mexico. A bunch of those reservations have world class hunting and game management. Or maybe they really don't care about anything.

Actually we could use the anti's tactics in this case. If a few people could get some decent video of the truckloads of heads, and then release this information to the media and the net it would raise a bit of odor. Then if an article like this followed you might find a little more stink. The bad side is it will be tied to hunting, and the tribal part may get lost in the translation.
Still it might be worth documenting on film.
