Hanford Bulls

[Gobble Gobble]

Have already had a native PM me asking about specific area they were shot. As he was trying to track the individuals down and put a case against them for the killing. Whatever, I don’t trust them so I didn’t tell them anything.
 
My guess is near Hwy 240 and the bulls were seen hanging in a yard in White Swan last night. I had a long sit down today with one of those who told me the story said it was a friend of his who works in White Swan called him from White Swan last night after seeing the bulls and talking to the Shooters.
 
He is also former law enforcement and said all they can get them for if caught is trespassing on a restricted access area as Hanford is a part of the ceded land in the treaty and that all state and federal land is not considered owned private land or however it is stated in the treaty. His friend also told him that is why the tribal council or a member of it said they will pay for the lawyer if caught, its ceded land and not privately owned so they can hunt it just like the Yakima Training Center where they hunt all the time. Because of the classified nature of Hanford there is no trespassing in the restricted areas and its these areas they can be arrested if caught in.
 
Another loop hole for them to exploit big game for their selfish needs. To hunt Hanford has come from the top he said so if you ask me something is going on within the tribe and it sounds like they are going to take full advantage to the treaty and make a statement to all in doing so, all the while with thumb to nose and saying neener neener neener.

"Because of the classified nature of Hanford there is no trespassing in the restricted areas and its these areas they can be arrested if caught in."

Isn't ALL of the site a restricted area?  When a sign is posted of the fences around to area that say "No Trespassing all violators will be prosecuted" doesn't that pertain to everyone? Native or not?

Couesbitten if you are the Scott I'm thinking of you have a brother name schrade that I was very close friends with for many years. Nice to hear your story that I forgot about. But you are right. Tell your brother hi and and I miss him. I've also seen pics of you and your son at sportsmans. I plan to put another bull that size or bigger next to Brutus I got drawn for the wenaha west rifle bull tag. I've got sone trail pics and live pics if some 370-380 bulls. Keep in touch.

Well I contacted my White Swan source today and he told me that it was the Wheelers (suprize suprize) that did the shooting.  They have taken about 6 bulls in the last two weeks out there and he also told me they were cruizing the river today to kill some bucks!  Yakama's finest hard at work trying to wipe out a gene pool all in one year.  Very impressive!  My source is also always spot on when it comes to this stuff.

That native you're referring to is me and I didn't say I was bulding a case against them I said I'm trying to find out IF they were harvested illegally then I would refer what info. I have.  If they didn't break any laws then so be it but if they did then I'd let the law handle it.

I also have prior law enforcement with the tribe and municipality.

My wife is enrolled in the Yakima Nation and receives a per capita every month. Even thou I am white (her husband); can I hunt on tribal land? Does she have to be with me? Where do I go get a permit?

C'mon natives; I know your out there. Please reply

This is what I know from the YN Wildlife Manager himself.  Hanford may be on Ceded Land but majority is restricted and we are prohibited from hunting there.  The area that the Tribe is trying to work with the Dept. Of Energy to secure a compact for Tribal Members to exercise their rights is the Arid Lands Reserve ALR.  He said they are encouraging Members not to hunt the ALR because there is no compact between DOE and the Yakama Nation.  If these tribal members want to risk it then so be it. If I had Mr. Wheelers resources I'd probably chance it to and fight it in court with the best lawyers money can buy.

That's him, and it's me.  Nice to see the pics of your dad's bull, that thing is a hog.  Good luck this year.
