If you really want to see a sad site. Drive up the oak creek rd before they close the gate in dec when it snows.  I was in there last year and saw 14 dead elk along the rd within site distance.  Most had 2 strips of meat taken out of the back and the sacred crow and eagles got the rest.  The guys driving the rd had tan skin and they weren't mexican.

I dont think these $%^& were given any injustices, they are damn lucky we didnt wipe their asses and rid them a 130 years ago of the land,you tell me in history where someone came in and invaded a country, then sets land aside for them and then gives them money then special assistant programs and hunting and fishing rights and they still cant seem to take advantage it, but the fishing and hunting side of it, abuse it just as the alcohol that is rampant on the rez.

I have hunted here in WA going on 11 years now.

I have yet to harvest a deer, bear, cougar or *censored*ing elk.  I have hunted my ass off this year and still nothing.  I have spent the last couple of months scouting for elk because everyone here says "you scout, you score" (or something to that effect).  

Now I can at least point in the right direction as to why my chances are getting more and more deminished as the years go on.  It seems like I am camping with a rifle and not hunting.

While scouting outside Yakima I came accross a large (what i could only assume was a bull) elk.  It was missing 3 things....Its head, and both its backstraps.  I pulled out my camera to take a picture and just my luck, batteries were dead.

I cant say with 100% certanty who (poacher or native) did this, but it doesnt take a rocket scientist.

I have so much spit and venom built up inside me on the ethics of the tribal hunters, if I was to even type out 1% of it I would be banned from this site.  And since I consider this place a bastion for sane, ethical hunters and an excellent resource, I will keep my comments to myself.

The long and short of it is that it has to be stopped.  Maybe a phone call to one of the larger news networks to do a little investigative work and then airing it during prime time might put a light on the situation?

Sorry Chevy.  In this situation it's not just beating a dead horse.  It's informing the general public what is really going on.  The more people that are aware of what is going on.  The greater our chances are of getting something done.  Unless of course you are content with how things are currently??

[spottedhand]

Bullcayon...Your exactly right, If there was an instance the 'media' could do a story denegrating the sport of hunting by some slobs from our side of the spectrum you can bet your bippie they would be there in hoards.  The only problem is getting them where you want them at the right time.  I am sick of this 'You're beating a dead horse'  that is only a cop out for not wanting to 'offend' some one.  Well what about these magnificant animals that are wantingly wasted time after time....a dead horse no, a dead resource yes.

I get this NW INDIAN FISHERIES COMMISSION Magazine in the mail every quarter. former homeowner musta been 1/216th indian all kinds of bs in its content about fisheries and habitat restoration, all sounds great, but i think we all know the truth, just makes me sick everytime i see this propagandized spin. reminds me of the commercial with chief wearsalotof feathers, is sitting on a horse crying at all the litter before him. what the advertisement didn't show, was that it was his own front yard.  This good day for the tribe is just another example of the *censored* they are up to.

[Special T]

I have read that same magazine.. I think many of the things tribes try to do are good, however because there is no enforcement their good intentions have little effect where the boot leather hits the trail.

This is true.  Indians are not the reason you cannot find success.  If you really are having that much difficulty shoot me a PM and I will point you in the right direction.
