They get a couple tags for the Clemens unit, the Quilimine  and the Swakane and then they get quite a few tags for the reservation, which I did not realize that they had that many sheep to justify as many tags as they gave out. That’s why I’m curious on how big the heard is.

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

For them to be able to give 12 ram tags and 33 ewe tags that herd must be doing especially well. Fingers crossed that you guys are able to keep a movi free?

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 anyhting.
