28 Desert Unit bucks taken by Yakima Indian Nation rumor or truth?

[Bullkllr]

Another question, how does the wdfw officer know the exact number taken? Of the many times I've been in the desert unit I have yet to see a wdfw officer. Since when did we start reporting our kills to the state or is there a check point up there, not that I'd stop if there was one.

I am curious as to why there is no reporting. How is the state going to try and manage if they don't know the harvest numbers from everyone. ?

Well, when you write your own rules, to the point where you don't really care what the others are doing, why would you?

You obviously don't read PlateauNDN's posts or understand his stance.  I do not support the current native harvest, however PlateauNDN's stance is as good as it gets. You're off base on your assumption.

It's 2016. All these racial tensions these days and people wanting equality. I say since we all have a fair shot in today's society, that we all have to play by the same rules. Some people get perks others don't in this day and age is pathetic and will continue to continue to create divide us. Stupid simple to fix.

 

Sounds great, but how does divide and conquer work with that   People cant be equal because politicians wont be able to court fringe groups and minorities.......everyone gets something for nothing except white middle america......the working class, those burdened by taxes that fund the unwilling.

  Shouldn't the tribe be reporting their take to the state as co managers of the resource? only makes since to share the data. not looking to piss in anybody's corn flakes, having a relative who is a game warden and half my family being yakama's I try to refrain from upsetting either side for the family's sake, however if they are truly "co managers " as they claim then sharing the data with each other should be benifical to the resource. I do know the state has to pony up their info.

If the state was to have true co-management with the tribes, you are correct.  Harvest data from tribal take would be reported accurately.  I think it's a pretty safe statement to say that across the board, this cooperation does not happen.

In another thread a bunch of guys supported restricting our mule deer hunts even more than they are. Maybe even make it all draw "for a few years". Great idea, I'm sure the tribe would follow suit. It really makes me sick.

You'd stop at the checkstation Plat.  The last time I was there 4 guys with automatic weapons make sure of it.  Their basic function is to make sure people aren't stealing artifacts I think.

Yes I know there's a check station at YTC but the discussion isn't about the YTC it's about the desert. There's no check station that I'm aware of in or near the desert.

It might and it might not be. All I'm saying is, how many times had rumors turned out to be highly inaccurate,  not necessarily all inaccurate just overly exaggerated.

It could be 10% or 50% of the 28 bucks, but saying so and so said because he heard from so and so who knows so and so doesn't help.

So let's get clarity and the OP can provide that.

OP,  are you referring to the Desert Unit as stated in the title or are you referring to the YTC where there is guards and mandatory reporting?

Do the colvile tribe report harvest info to the state?
