TRIBAL MEMBERS UP OKLAHOMA GULCH

[Wenatcheejay]

Already done.

Just remember if they go off of public land, (on private) they are subject to Washington State law. They can not fall back on "The Tribes judge me." That has been established. Tribal law is not subject to double jeopardy. So if they shoot from the road or shoot on private property you got em.

I havent been to the Yak sports show in years. But if these guys are bringing in racks to be entered and juged, why dont we boycott that.  Wear some form of a statement that clearly states Ban Tribal Poaching make it very clear. Maybe we can have some inititive forms drawn up to gather signatures at the shows. How many signatures would be needed, would it even work ?   Where the hell is Tim Iman ??

I think it pisses everyone off but what are our options?  The only way to do anything about it is band together and bug the crap out of our legislators.  I caught a couple of them last year that poached a bull last year and nothing was done.  I have written several letters and only recieved the response that they were looking into it.  I think the only chance we have at changing anything is by forming one big force.

Pretty much what I meant by there is alot more of us than them.

Unfortunatly bugging your legistlators is a waist of time, the reason nothing was done is because nothing can be done without an act of congress.

In order to throw more gas on this fire...  Last year while I was driving to a duck spot on the Res I saw a deer hanging from a tree in a guys front yard, and his dogs were eating its head and front quarters.  I also saw two or three deer in some guys truck not gutted or anything just sitting in the bed of the truck.  Way to put your animals to good use.

You have to admire some of the Indians' progressive ways of thinking though.  You don't need a trash can.  The world is your trash can.

Just received this reply to an e-mail to Linda Parlette in regards to the mass slaughter of OUR ELK and Mule Deer!!!!! I would say the issue will not go away until the tribes stop what they are doing!!!

Samuel,

 

Thank you for your email.  I will try and get an update on this issue which never seems to go away.  Thanks for the “heads up!”

 

Linda

Maybe we should all flood her with emails???

I just want to start out saying that I totally agree with everyone on poaching and can see how mad everyone has got over this entire issue. What I cant see is the racism towards it. There are PLENTY of poachers Native and white. I am an enrolled Colville member and to hear people bashing on Joe and our reservation kind of makes you feel like *censored*. First of all I just want to say that our Reservation has been doing research on catching salmon and the most productive way to do so, so that there is almost a 0% mortality rate. How do I know? I worked on the project in its first year of going on. We used serval methods to do so and found out which methods worked best. We had a 5% mortality rate when I was on the project. We are currently in the process of building a Chinook salmon hatchery to benefit not only members but non-members as well. Everyone has seen the decline in salmon numbers due to commercial overfishing and know that something needs to be done, we are currently in the process of helping that situation. I know how mad you guys get when you see poachers, we have plenty of non-member poachers on our reservation, i see ALL the time. Yes ive tried to turn them in but nothing happened. Ive hunted off the reservation once with my dad who is 100% white and thought I was going to get shot because of how many people were in a crowded area. I am also sorry that some of you have to hunt areas that are so crowded with people that it makes it hard to get a buck. I could of shot the buck that a guy that was close to me shot but decided to let it go because I am use to bigger bucks. He did end up hitting it and I was the one who tracked it all the way almost to the river before it stopped bleeding. One of my relative (who is a non-member) found it later on in the season still alive because the guy had gut shot it. It later died. Yes I passed hunters safety and yes I bought my tags just like everyone else. Will I plan on going off the reservation again, yes but I will pay for my tags like everyone else. I was raised right and know what is right and what is wrong. What has been going on is wrong but it goes both ways whether everyone wants to think it does or not. Traditionally those are traditional lands but you are right until they are on a reservation or are on trust land that the tribe owns then everyone who hunts there should have to buy a tag just like everyone else. I am not going to say anything racist back because my dad is Polish, Irish, Scottish and so am I, and my mom is 100% Sinixt (Lakes, Colville) and so am I. I just hope that everyone thinks that not all tribal members are like this and that there are some good younger generation people growing up (I am 22).
