It used to be “any elk OTC” that kept the herd sizes down

Then it went draw only cows as the predator loads ramped up that kept herd sizes down

Now cow hunts are all but gone, any bull otc

Next is spike only or draw only

Predator loads are replacing hunting

I'm just taking my best guess here.
I think natives where gonna hunt it , regardless if they got permission. That's the reason that they where given permission to hunt it.
How do you tell someone no,when they didn't need your permission in the first place.
Wasn't there a case of them hunting Hanford before.
Kinda like testing the water,yup water is just right.
I'm not saying it right or wrong.
Like said it's just a guess,I think they just said go ahead.
Cause it was gonna happen anyway.
It was gonna be bad PR to tell them no.

This is interesting because I have seen a lot of yaks saying it was never off limits? I don’t know the legitimacy of these numerous claims but it sounds like all the press surrounding it was only published to get everyone pissed and riled up. Just hearsay, but it sure isn’t hard to believe. Maybe whitefoot could chime in with more than an LOL and confirm or deny this?

Like said just a guess on my part.
On top of "my guess".
It's better to have the hunting regulated by the tribal council.
Give permission,then just to have no management at all and hunting going on anyway.
It's just a thought,guess,whatever.

They (wdfw), took away our cow hunt and gave it to the wolves.  It was a lie at the time saying to improve herds for more hunting opportunity and that is still a lie today.

I don't know about the Yakama's or their trapping efforts but the Colvilles and Spokane tribe are doing their part for predator control. This is just a couple from the last month.

The black one is an absolute toad!

[pianoman9701]

Those are big coyotes.

The colville tribe members handle their weight and more. If wdfw could be controlled by them instead of Seattle this would be a destination state. I have a few buddies out in nespelem that work hard, successfully, to control predators and do everything they can for conservation. They are a truly united people where a few bad apples don’t make a difference. Wish the same could be said all over.

I agree,
Have a few friends.
Even though there seasons,bag limits, opportunity is much better than ours. They seem to respect the seasons and management set fourth by there own tribe. Making there management very good.

I’ve recently transitioned into a self identifying Native American. I’m sure the state will be as accepting and accommodating of my transition as they have with others in this state. I’m really looking forward to my new rights in 2024.
