Yakima means your talking about the town.  Yakama is the tribe or reservation.

You know what he means

I'm glad to know the distinction.

I'd be curious and this is purely off assumption but knowing how the Colville Nation is I'd assume the Yakama has a very good predator management system unlike the rest of the state. WE all know there are too many predators and I dont think anyone wants them to go away but rather would want to see them more managed to sustainable numbers for ungulate populations and overall biodiversity.

With the hard stance of the Klickitat sheriff on cougars and the flexibility of the Yakama Nation being able to regulate predators "more appropriately". It doesn't surprise me they are able to have so many tags.

All hunch no facts.

Not many people hunt the bears.  More coyotes then anything.

I've been commuting to Chelan the last couple months and have been seeing the same bear in the same general area once you come over the pass and hit the flats along Satus Creek. My coworker saw it the other day too. Beautiful bear; jet black, brown nose.... if anyone with the Yakama nation is looking!

I think the reason the yakama tribe members don’t target bears is there is spiritual tie to bears.

Most tribal members don't hunt them for spiritual beliefs or reasons.

Also great to know!

Cougars though? Having good management of cougars is essential for sheep.

Most people shoot them but never just target them. More if they see them somewhere.

I think most non native cougar harvest is the same, not don’t target cougars but take them when opportunity presents itself

Can't remember the platform (youtube ?) I saw some of their vids of sheep hunting...kinda cool seeing it.  That country is STEEP.  I've ate a lot of wild game but never sheep--always wondered what it would compare to

I probably lived in Washington 20 years before a Yakama friend clued me into that.   I felt pretty silly.

My cousin used to be a timber cruiser for a native logging outfit on the Yakima Reservation, he told his boss they had to many bears and said I’m gonna pack a side arm, boss said ok but I can’t help you if you get caught. Well he never got caught, and the bears didn’t get him, but can cancer did.😢

And yes the natives according to what he was told believe they can be reincarnated as bears.

Yes, i have several youtubes on the sheep hunts.  Quilomene, Yakama Reservation, Swakane, and a Clemens one.

Tough ass meat. Makes good pepperoni

Interesting information about the two spellings. I’ve noticed the different spellings but never thought about why.
So if Yakama is the tribe and reservation and the city is Yakima why is the city not spelled Yakama?
Does Yakima mean something different?

[jdb]

In his book “of men and mountains “ bill Douglas claimed Yakima meant “land of the big belly “
