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.

It’s interesting to know the difference between how the different tribes view bear/cougar hunting. The Quinaults love to target predators it seems

I believe it started the 15th. Not 100 percent positive but I know the yakamas reservation tag started the 15th so I assume they all did.
