Free: Contests & Raffles.
Use to be a great place to come and exchange info but it’s great to see that certain people are still allowed to taunt people because of their skin color. I’ll take another year or so off and check back. Carry on.....
Gringo, so should we just forget about it? You and I know it’s not as simple as calling our senator or the news. Even if I was a rich guy and devoted my life to investigating guys who kills multiple elk to sell as jerky or guys who kill deer to bait eagles to kill to sell the feathers, you honestly think it will make a difference? You are sick of us complaining?, how do you think we feel about more important stuff than complaining? Like over harvest for compensation rather than substance or ceremony. Yeah I agree this topic gets real old, it’s the definition of beating a dead horse. But if you come up with a solution we are all ears, until then, all we can do is bitch to each other about our frustrations.

Take the right because a small user group is ruining it for the rest. Your analogy is weak. Yes we enjoy our 2A rights. However it's not a free for all. There are still laws pertaining to it. I can't just go down to the gas station and buy a fully automatic rifle. Also, if I abuse my god given second ammendment rights they take them away. Do they take away the hunting rights of the few in your tribe who abuse them? Didn't think so. We want you to actually police your own.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I guess that I should have pondered the opening question and kept it to myself. Life has never and will never be fair. Some people are born into privilege and some people will envy people of privilege. Get over it Be thankful. and live a good life.

Everytime one of these hunting/tribal subjects that highlights the inequality of the situation shows up on here its page after page of this never ending argument. I read it and don't say much because it turns into a race issue and while most or none of us are racists just passionant outdoorsman that want our kids and grandkids to be able to enjoy the outdoors like we do. As a mature non native man I understand not all things are fair and equal never has been never will be. Things change over time. Our history doesn't lie and we used to have the right to own slaves and kill unlimited numbers of buffalo and wild game to mention just a couple.. Heck a dispute could be settled in the street with a gunfight and one guy could be dead and the other could go home and not to jail... Times change and a civilization that realizes that and wants to sustain what they have or do better makes change either by law or self restraint and judgement. I am not jealous one bit of what native hunters and fisherman get to do because I see the result of non restraint when given basically an open season. I see it where I live on the Olympic Peninsula , the Blue Mountains and now this sheep hunt in the Swakane. There are plenty of native sportsman I know and are very good people and I respect but times change and we need to protect our wildlife and our opportunity to enjoy what we do. If all the tags(native and non native draw and auction) are filled on mature rams in the Swakane I predict there won't be any tags next year , how does that sound? There are multiple problems that are leading to the demise of our wildlife but the biggest in my mind is that as times change and human population grows and technology continues to put fish and wildlife at a huge disadvantage we all must show restraint and make change whether its our right or not. Lastly don't even think about saying I don't understand or I'm a racist or I will post a pic of my family of adopted kids of all colors even one that is native enough to have a card but doesn't
I’m glad he started the thread, as a life time wild Sheep member I find it interesting that Wdfw had no say or awareness that this hunt evolved. It has been informative and frustrating at the same time.
