good job

What a dumb letter.... 

[buckmaster_wa]

Yeah what a (dumb) letter. Just because there are no pictures to guide you through the letter that doesn't mean it is a (dumb) letter.  If you would like you can call me and I can read it to you.

The next letter is going to explain that the Rocky Mountain Elk were transplanted here by the American tax payers in 1911. So the Yakamas shouldn't even be allowed to hunt for these animals.

  buck I am really glad you are taking the time to bring this bs to the public's attention.I can see why whitefoot would think its dumb but then again if your ways of poaching I mean hunting were being brought up to the general public I would think its dumb to.

[fishunt247]

  I like it. 

I'm confused why she hasn't printed mine yet. There was some talk back and forth between the editor and me, and it sounded very promising that she would print it. Maybe it is still coming.

And Whitefoot, if the letter is dumb, maybe you should write a rebuttal to it. Make it a public discussion. We'd be interested to hear.

My mistake. I found this on the oak creek wildlife page.

History of the Rocky Mountain Elk in Yakima County
In 1913 a group of landowners, sportsmen and Yakima County officials introduced Rocky Mountain elk from Yellowstone National Park to the Yakima area of eastern Washington.

What a dumb letter.... 

Yeah i know what you mean probably would have gotten some indians attention better if it had a picture of a four loko or a 40 or something huh?

This is second hand information but I was told some natives from the west side shot 3 bulls up in the Nile recently.  Anyone on here from the Naches area that could possibly shed some light on this??

[buckmaster_wa]

I work with a fellow that lives just past the Nile feeding station. On Dec 17Th he seen a green Toyota pickup pulled over by a sheriff and a WDFW officer. The green Toyota pickup had the head of a bull elk in the back. Then the next day the 18Th of Dec the same truck came down the road with two bulls in the back of the truck. Then on the 19Th fishhunt247 watched two gentlemen in a green Toyota chase elk around a feeding station in Cowiche and shoot a big bull.    Crazy stuff uh. Makes you wonder how many bulls one can kill in a winter?

[Special T]

Well i guess we can hate on the Yakimas if you want to.... Since they seem to have a rebellious streak in them, I can only hope they will spend as much time killing bulls as they should killing wolves....  I think wolves pose a bigger problem than Indians, but if the Yakimas are as big out laws as you say, hopefully they will take out a few wolves...  

[buckmaster_wa]

Yeah I wish they would shoot wolves and sea lions.

[Special T]

"They" I thought you were one Buckmaster?  I can say that if a tribe (any would do) were to fight for the right to kill sea-lions (Californian) so that they could make traditional Indian buoys as part of cultural heritage.... I would be the first in line to Commend them.... I believe half our problem is the lack of predator management in many areas..... i believe this is an area where tribes and White guys (like my cracker ass) can agree... Once upon a time it was open season on Sea-"Wolves" and others like cormorants and mergansers and such....
