Cry, Cry that's all you do!!
Whiteman weren't the best stewards last year either, and that didn't help the numbers on the firing center. There were too many permits given out. That being said, the relentless slaughter of the indians compounded the problem since they don't go off of any accountability. Might as well open it up to anyone who wants to hunt. Anytime the whiteman tries any sort of conservation here come the Yakamas to take advantage of the increased number of critters or trophies. Not sure what ceremonial purpose the elk has for them since there weren't any back in the day when they supposedly developed these ceremonies. They used mostly salmon. Maybe they ran out of them.
Along with the indians the cougars have been decimating these deer guys, one ran right in front of my truck 200 yards past the second gate. There is cougars and indians everywhere, as far as I'm concerned if there is not something done we can say goodbye to the firingcenter.
Know an elk tag holder for the ytc - saw tribal with three bucks and a cow. No orange and one guy riding in the back of the truck with the gun. Now you or I try that.

Permit numbers being knocked back should help them rebound. There aren't cougars everywhere...because you saw one doesn't mean they are all over the place. There are a few out there but no where near the number some of you guys suspect there are. I read on here the one guy claims 12-14 i highly doubt that.
