I thought the tribal season started August 1st. Guess I thought wrong. 

I'll have to take a look at their regulations again. Sure doesn't seem right.

Most tribal seasons start on Aug.1st but at anytime of the year for ceremonial reasons, birthdays, deaths, someone passed gas- they can go kill anytime. I'm not saying this is tribal by the way, sure would be nice to get the truth about it.

tribal or not, this is a shame!

When seeing a big buck or bull in season it;s great to see but to see one now is sad. I thought on the coast the quinaults season started around the 4th of july but may be wrong but still you would think a cow or spike would be good enough. Some permit holder just lost out.

can someone explain to me why anyone in their right mind tribal or not would want to shoot a bull of any size or a buck of any size when their velvet is in full swing and isnt done growing yet to the point where their antlers are gonna be a waist, and dont give me "oh they will harden up and all that b.s"

i am not suprised, if there are no repercussions whats to keep them from harvesting animals with awesome trophy potiental? i understand the concept of hunting for food and tradition regardless of the time of year for the natives, i get it. but, why not have a drawn interal to the natives for the harvest of "trophy class" aminals? so there can be some kind of management imposed, and if a person harvest an animal that isnt drawn the punishment would be the enforcement of a trophy fee like they do with poachers.

Thanks Bone for sharing and if you can provide some detail that would be great.  It would go along way to figure out who had the elk.  If anybody has questions about something like this let me know because the more info. I can get the more I can do something about stuff like this.

You see something report it regardless if they look Tribal or not.  I would support it whether anybody thinks I would or not.  It is sad when there are unethical poachers like this and if I were to see it I would do something about it.  Done it before and will continue to do it. 

Change is needed and I'm not going to argue that.  If anybody would like to PM me when you see stuff like this then feel free to do so or if you're out in the woods take pics and gather as much info. as possible and give it to me if you don't want to be the one to report it.  I will gladly do it for you with some info.

That's being serious and not just saying it so please don't get me confused with somebody blowing smoke up someones butt or empty promises.  If it's legitimate, I will help in anyway possible.

So, from the sounds of what I've read everybody just breezed by what I stated and isn't looking for any kind of assistance in dealing with situations like this?  I'm more than willing to provide assistance if asked and more than willing to do something about situations like this.  Why not work together to do something about these types of situations and work together?  Don't turn a blind eye because they look Tribal, gather info. and if you don't want to turn it in then give it to me and I will be glad to do it for you.

Plateau I noted what you said and when I am in that area again I will be in touch if I see anything...I have photographed lots of the damage done by illegals and the mess left behind by illegal baits and poaching but never seem to find anyone who is real interested  the fact that you want to seek some answers is refreshing... of course I feel sort of obligated to report what I see when its really sort of odd.....

Damn it Bone!

You going to tell me you didn't have you camera with you

[Houndhunter]

i hate the tribes, and thats a full hearted statement. i absolutely can not stand them and will never support them in anything they do. just venting but seeing these storys continue to show up, while having personally witnessed several illegal acts myself, and yet no one from our gov will grow a pair and do anything about it is a complete load of crap
