I'm pretty sure if this hunt was for meat, like the ancestors of the current tribes focused on, those big old tuff bulls would be safe.  It's pure and simply a trophy hunting opportunity that the non-tribal hunting community will never partake in.  This has nothing to do with tradition or heritage.  It is what it is.

we will prob never know the back door deals that went down on this one.

Oh I think we know.  I do believe politics play a role.  Democrats/WDFW are bleeding hearts always caving to the tribes.  Tribes are always willing to accept the cheese. Democrats actually do more damage to the natives and their heritage and  don’t even realize it.  This was an absolute waste...mismanage a population and then allow this type of activity (not calling it hunting).  You’d think some of these coulda been relocated
I don’t see anything on this subject relating to a treaty.  That’s just an excuse.  Looks like entitlement and greed?  This goes against what natives have historically stood for.  You can’t tell me when the treaty was signed there was an idea of natives driving around in trucks chasing/shooting trophy bulls with some sort of pride....I to think their ancestors wouldn’t be to proud.

I couldn't agree more.  This seems more like a rub it in your face slaughter of trophy animals.  Chase em down and shoot em from the truck. Ceremonial? Gimme a break.

Sounds just like the 2a arguments. “Our forefathers could never have imagined at-15s and rpgs!” Who are you to say what somebody else’s ancestors might have thought? What a joke.

That must be one of them late season quality elk tags….. what a lucky hunter, must’ve burned some serious boot rubber to get after that bruiser. Hopefully he posts the story soon.

The state should issue special tags like Tbar said.

For those that are frustrated at tribal rights.. when will we take advantage of tribal right to control predators across the state that we cannot seem to do?

Kinda what I was wondering...Why don't these guys take out our wolves for us up here in the NE corner.  We can just refer to the treaty and their rights......right?

The Colvilles are taking out wolves and have been for some years. Not sure about the Yaks, but maybe.

Hunting morals have been in a downward spiral for many, many years.
Today's usually ooze of arrogance and entitlement.
It's very clear where It's all headed.

Kill em all!!!

They can, they have the rights to hunt and trap wolves in 101

I heard 1 guy from the rez was doing it, I spend a lot of time in 101 and have yet to see a wolf trap line (I see bobcat lines from non-tribe)  wolf hunt, heck I don’t even see a truck with tribe plates running around


The Colvilles have declared the north half (gmu 101) a “biological dead zone”
There’s still deer, elk and all manner of game but the numbers have taken a huge hit with the exception of elk who’s population has expanded since the 90’s but it’s still a very tough hunt compared to Idaho, blues or other elk areas - the OTC tags is too much to make quality elk in the NE corner combined with predator loads, a few guys take nice bulls and the rumors spread, but they get a lot of pressure and most are taken off private

I’d sure like to be an honorary colville and trap wolves in 101

I think there’s a lack of incentive, what’s a wolf hide worth?  Not enough to justify driving a lot of miles, investing in expensive traps, bait etc

This is where something like F4WM comes in, I’ve asked about a WA chapter specifically for tribe harvest of wolves which would benefit all hunters, ranchers, pet owners and anyone else potentially impacted by too many wolves.  The cattleman’s assiosation would be on board and other user groups as well, F4WM has there hands full fighting legal issues in other states where they’re trying to impose anti-compensation regulation to put an end to F4WM ability to pay out. They aren’t interested in compensating a tribe wolf harvest in WA of all places where they’d be shut down immediately whereas in Idaho they have much better support in state house of reps and governors office.

Not for the Hunt Wa shooters that are hitting a coffee cup at 7000 yards shooting off hand, in high wind, standing on shale on the side of a cliff! Easy Peasy!

I was thinking hunting elk can be hard too,  unless your name is running elk w/ pickup.  Hunting elk also hard when the wolves eat them all.
