good day 4 the tribe

[Practical Approach]

I keep going back to that picture and wonder where it came from?  It today's media age you can photoshop or take pictures out of context.  Sure is a nice truck, not like most tribal rigs I see.  The small picture is such poor quality that I can't even tell if those are whole elk or just someone hauling two shoulder mounts from a taxidermy shop.  I get so sick of people getting all fired up about what could be?  Do we have a tribal name yet.  Do we have an exact location?  Whether its politics or some other BS floation around my email, most of it is that exactly BS designed to get people all pissed off jumping to conclusions.  This picture might be a tribal hunter, however I have my doubts without more info to go off of.

You are right, this may not be a tribal member but its very well known that the tribal memebers take more than their share of trophy bulls out of the Clockum every year. That is the point.

I don't doubt that?  Which tribes hunt that area?

Gate all the roads and make it a limited access, so everyone is on an equal field. I doubt a lazy road hunting indian will pack his beer in and his elk out

[WSU]

I like how there is zero indication that this is a tribal, or even in Washington (let alone clockum), issue and everyone is lighting their torches.  Everyone knows how reliable these internet rumors are, and yet if you get the right issue people buy it hook, line, and sinker.  If someone signed up for an account and their first post said they "just received" the photos and claimed to have knowledge of a 200" buck shot somewhere everyone would be skeptical of the story.  Put "tribal" and "elk" in the post and everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

Practical Approach - typically the Yakima tribe in the Clockum

OK, I didn't know if any of the Oregon tribes hunted that area.

I can't say that they do or don't.   All I can say is that most of the conversations that come up regarding the Clockum have to do with allegations toward the Yakima tribe or factual claims regardign the Yakima tribe's members.  The Clockum is in their Ceded lands when you look over the treaty map, but I don't know if there are other tribes allowed to hunt that portion of the state or not.

It may not be legit but its funny every year we go to the Yakima Sportsman Show and look at the horn competition,  all the big bulls usually have one or two names tagged on them and usually they indicate an indian name!  They very well could be from our Clockum herd and you never know we might just see those bulls this year in the sundome!

I would have said the exact same thing had I not seen it with my own two eyes last weekend. Not this truck but another. You are waaaaayyyyyy off base about the "tribal members only drive *censored*" comment. The one i saw was a early 2000's chevy with a toad in the back, probably a nicer bull than I'll ever kill. The other guys we saw were in a very nice late 90's F-250. So be skeptical all you want but just know this. Your wrong.

I don't doubt you see tribal hunters with mature/trophy quality bucks and elk in the backs of their trucks. Again, do you know they were tribal members?  You talked to them.  Most people see a dark skinned person or just assume it must be a tribal member hunting under a tribal tag.  Some tribe buy state tags and even apply in the permit process.  I never said they only drive crummy trucks.  But I did lean that a lot of them are older trucks.  Your just another person that has made an accusation with no factual evidence other than I saw or my brothers sister saw or a friend of a friend saw. 

I hate that I am sounding like a backer of tribal hunters, but some of these forums are way off base. Some folks sound more like an angry mob than concerned productive hunters.

1st, there are WA State plates on the truck...can someone run them. Blown up it looks like a personal plate 'I Text' or something like that. Someone out there should be able to clean it up and run it. Secondly there aren't many places in washington someone is going to get two rockies like that at the same time. Third, A poacher wouldn't load them like that and flaunt them and I doubt many sportsmen would either. Fourth, how many tag holders are going to double up on those hogs with archery, then be in a place to load them whole. Fifth, taxidermy mounts...really...you spend $2000 each, wait a year and a half then throw them in the back of a truck piled on top of each other???  Admit it...these are indian rat bass turds somewhere in eastern WA and every sportsman on here has a right to be flamed  .
