So we still do not know where you get to hunt with that tag?  Please let me know so that I can help you.

Since you wont tell us anything.  I would hunt the lewit.

Hey, trust me the guys on here are nice.  They can be a little harsh at times but they are people.  But really it is a right of passage to pay some dues before you are given the info you are after.  People don't give out there hunting areas that easy.

Scott...  Although you are attending the 1SG Course at this time and your accomplishments are great.  Once you are selected and able to attend the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy (USASMA) like me, they will teach you how to spell legit without the extra "e".

Never heard of a tribe being able to issue tags to anyone who is not a member of the tribe to take an animal off the res. Anyone else ever hear of it?

[bobcat]

How do you know he is not a member of the tribe?

Doesn't much sound like a local indian asking for pointers such as he did.

I have been an enrolled member since '99. I have always just hunted deer up north. And I been gone from this state since '02. I just know I can hunt down in that area for elk. Im goin up friday to get my tags and regs. And for some reason the Lummi arent able to hunt the Nooksack herd. As to my knowledge. Gotta hunt south of Hwy 20. And for everyone else I just found the site. Not like im just on here to ask for help and run. I was pretty active in the Alaska forums helping fellow hunters and fisherman and snowmobilers.

Last I heard the Lummi's can only hunt as far south as the White River Unit.
As far as I know the Nooksack herd is being managed as a special unit for both the Nooksack tribe and WDFW. Only a certain amount of tribal hunters can hunt it, just like the general citizens who apply for the permit. So basically only the Nooksack Tribe and those who win the WDFW Permit can hunt it.
Alaska natives hunting and fishing is a big difference from down here. Yes you may have helped others in AK, but you should never identify yourself as a tribal member on any hunting or fishing websites in WA. You will be bashed and harrassed, and quite honestly I have no problem with it. The tribes in this state have raped the fisheries and hunting (especially elk) in this state to a point where some herds aren't even huntable to this day.

Amen, said very well.

Wait what? Why can't he identify himself? I haven't seen a tribal member bashed or harrassed just because they're a tribal member, give the members of this forum a little credit. damn.

Bigtex got that right...the elk were shot out of this area a few years back by those who felt their "native rights" allowed them to shoot anytime anywhere.  WDFW had to go south and transplant some elk back up here to establish a herd.  WDFW has given the majority of the permits for this small herd to the "natives".  So lets hope they can restrain themselves this time and the herd can build.  That being said there is the attitude amoung the "locals" that if it walks across their land it is theirs to shoot...anytime anything    So those of us that play by the rules are stuck with whatever we can scrounge up and hope for the best.  Locals or Natives rules or my rules what do we play by I burn at both of their attitudes.  My conscious is clean but my gun is loaded for the time when the rules give me the call.
