tribal killing of elk

[Grizzly95]

I think I am related to two of the indians some of you are taking about, not sure if I should have broughtit up or not.
My uncle has put me on elk several time up by browns place behind the woodshed, during my season and with my tag of course. Yhe day before I watched 2 guys screw up two seperate shots at 20 yrds. Pissed the land owner off, an arrowed elk went up the hill (bad shot) so he pulled the 7mm and layed acrossed his hood and dropped it, made the kid retrieve his cow and tag it. Told himit was his own damn fault for being a crappy shot. Archery take on an elk with 1/2 a head.

Probably not ...

As for endangering nearby fisherman I dont know. As for killing a whale, they have the right to do so and have been doing it for generations. They are allowed to kill one whale a year I believe

colvilletacoma, I am not sure that we will ever see eye to eye on these issues. Just the way it is going to be I guess. Atleast we kept things civil. Good night, gotta get to work in the morning so I can pay my taxes.

[colvilletacoma]

Haha wow really? I have to get to work tomorrow to pay my taxes as well. Also thank you for keeping things civil. Im sure we will never see eye to eye but at least there isnt racism going on or things getting out of hand. I appreciate it.

Yes BUT they went out against the tribes orders without the proper authorization... so they poached.  If they would have waited it would have been done legally.

[colvilletacoma]

Then that would be wrong. I agree that it would be poaching if they didnt wait for the proper autority.

Well im off to bed, got work. I Just wanted to post on 2 sides of the story on here and I appreciate everyone for being respectful. I will be deleting my account. Thanks again and good luck hunting to everyone. Hope everyone finds some big sheds this spring!

Keep the account. Its nice to have both sides...gives a new perspective, breaks up the monotony. This issue is always one sided it seems.

Colvilletacoma, I hope you keep your account, two sides of the story is always a benifit to read! Tribal hunters/fishers do get a bad rap, but some of them do deserve it! I know not all do, but as a non tribal fisher, I have been "caught" or "Netted" and that put me in danger. Best of luck!

colvilletacoma stay on we all need to hear both sides and you have insight to things on the rez we would never hear about. It;s a discussion and we need to hear the other side. welcome

[Grizzly95]

It's like watching the news on tv, we hate to hear some things, but couldn't stand not being able to hear it. Stick around conversation doesn't exist without the difference of opinion. You can't stop breating just because somebody farts

If you think being a tribal member is bad on this site Colville...try admitting you voted for Obama...   

[Grizzly95]

Now you've gone too far

As for the only whale the Makah actually harvested, it ended up in the land fill because no one would eat it After their celebration feast. They even butchered it up into smaller pieces so it would "disappear" quicker. Bears and coyotes were happy for awhile though.
