The following link is from the committee hearing on this bill:

http://www.tvw.org/index.php?option=com_tvwplayer&eventID=2015010188#start=3707&stop=6363

There was a heated soapbox type argument from Committee Chair Sherry Appleton towards WDFW LE Chief Steve Crown. Appleton basically said WDFW's current policy is racist.

Rep Norm Johnson (Yakima) had his own soapbox moment towards the Puyallup Tribe hunt program manager regarding seasons, limits, and Johnson mentioned the Hanford Monument and Naches feed station incidents.
Mr Johnson knows that his supporters want change in tribal hunting and is well aware of the stance non erolled hunters have on native hunters over here.

I could be wrong, but it looks like a tribe could enter into an exclusive access agreement with a private timber company and do whatever they wish there.

Bingo! I was thinking the same thing. And said private company could basically set their own bag limits and laws which may be contrary to State laws and management strategies.

well considering all the land the tribes are buying up and the fact that they could enter in agreements with other timber companies... I could easily see most of the hunting land in Washington become open to only tribal members.

where does it say that the tribal regulations have to be similar to state regulations? I mean they could say something like, "any tribal member can take two elk, deer, whatever, per year." That would technically be their regulations... so, just how would that impact heard size? I still remember the green river fiasco....

I suppose you feel that there is too much land to hunt on then... ya, it is a good deal.

So, what ever happened to the "States own the animals" argument?  Landowners are not the owners but apparently that's only true if your non-tribal. Hmmm
