TRIBAL MEMBERS UP OKLAHOMA GULCH

[swanny]

Obviously we are all dislike the fact that they keep killing animals out of season. But what steps have been taken to try and stop this? Has anyone gone to a news station with the story? Does anyone think reporting this to the news stations and people like Jesse Jones might put some pressure out for politicians and the non-hunting groups to raise their voice? If WDFW can't do anything about the situation or wont, get some free press from the news channels investigating the subject and it will rally many more people. Just a thought.

Everyone has become completly ball less, esp in the press. They are so afraid to offend anyone they won't touch it with a 10 ft pole. I guess thats where we step in and keep it in the public eye. I'm sick and tired of people complaining about the tribes then turn around and spend $$$$$$ big fricken dollars at the Tribe casinos. They are getting more and more powerful from our own stupid money  The tribes have become a very powerful political force.

one thing you can do, and, it won't stop it by any means, but, at least will bring light to it, is to FORCE the WDFW to admit in their population surveys, and decision making process' what effect tribal hunting is having.  It is your tax dollars, and fees, that are paying their bills.  They should be honest when they have to make a game management decision based off of too much tribal hunting.

it isn't hard to do........for example, the Umptanum unit was a special draw unit for deer several years ago.  After a few years, the buck quality went up tremendously, and, just like clockwork, truckloads of mature bucks were being shot by yakama tribal members on the winter range.  So, the WDFW up and elimanated the special draw because of the excess tribal hunting.

But, the WDFW never put out any formal reason for making this decision, they just made it.   A simple statement such as:  "Due to excess harvest of mature mule deer bucks by tribal hunters, the WDFW has decided to eliminate Unit XXX special draw status and return it to a general draw unit. It is hoped that a reduction in animal quality will result in reduced tribal hunting."

very simple.........it is our money, they should be honest when they make a management decision based on tribal hunting.

If only it was that easy....or is it?. Not sure this is up his alley

[Dmanmastertracker]

 I think a Tribal Hunting section should be started.


 Don't get me wrong it gets on my nerves/ tries my patience a lot as well, but it's beginning to dominate several different topics.

By the way they do drive a red toyota, or the ones that were at the sportsman show did, and both were as white as I am so........

I am looking for a response on one of these threads from someone about things they were doing to break their treaty, such as trading with a foriegn nation and alcohol....anyone???

i recently had this discussion with a trial member of the lummi tride over here in whatcom county. he told me every deer or elk they kll is one less the whiteman gets and then he said i was a sore loser. So as u can guess i had some choice words or him as he was trying to sell me fish.

[boneaddict]

A bunch of lummis almost died in the methow when they slaughtered a pile of deer up Balky hill with an assualt rifle and just cut theri heads off one December. There were a bunch of rednecks that were going to hang some from some tall sagebrushes.  That got the police involved and the state finally did something withthe tribe.  It looked like there was going to be a shoot out.

they have wiped out the deer and elk herds over here. used to be a nice herd of elk in the nooksack valley. very hard to find a deer in the foothills any more

quote from

Get real dude! What makes you think people from the west side don't care anout the Colockum elk herd? Do you think that because you live on the east side of the mtns. that somehow you care more than we do. Let's try not to divide, putting a stop to the indian poaching is going to take every hunter in washington to fix, not just a handful of concerned eastside boys.
 
hey now this is about both sides. ok the indians arent just poaching on the east side. there is enough woods for both eastside and westside. what we need to focus on is just regulating the feather butts! THIS PISSES EVERY HUNTER WHO GIVES A RIP AND WE CANT LET IT JUST GO AWAL ANYMORE THAN IT IS NOW.
