honestly, i am really glad your on here igotbigbulls. sorry things get out of hand, and really glad you roll with them and demand facts. i am just reading and trying to decipher the BS from facts. as i have never experienced tribal abuse, only hear say. what i hear is enough to make my hair stand on my arms. i just wonder how much is true, but i also wonder how diligent the tribes are in policing illegal hunting as you say they are. i know there are hell raising indians out there, who love to have a good time, and that seems to piss off alot of non-indians. and i damn sure know there are non-indians out there who love to raise hell and have a good time. i think the difference is, that when indians do it, and go and kill an elk with a rifle during bow season while they are hooping and hollering, it feels to the non-indian a sort of taunting is happening. i have only seen non-indians in the mountains raising hell, only in part because i hunt little where indians tend to roam. I have seen in the clearwater a truck of 4 indians going through a locked gate. but i also know of a few non-indians that have access to gates and use it during archery season. who can say they never seen a quad running around behind gates, when it shouldn't be. i know i have. all have been non-indians. pisses me off to. i am one who only supports facts, facts to me are proof. facts to me are photos, video, and so on. like i said proof. i don't really care about percentages and ratios, thats not what i want. save that crap someone who cares. sometimes facts are misleading and unfortunately, hearsay is fact to alot of people. take our dumb a@@ president for example. how else could he have made president since the real facts showed he was not suitable for the job, yet he was voted on by majority. yea, blows me away to. so tell me this igotbigbulls. is there a hotline that can be used for your tribe and others that if an illegal act is being done, that we can call??can you copy and paste tribal regulations on here, so we have an understanding what tribes consider illegal. weapon types, amount of loads in a gun, wastefullness, etc...fishing for roe, seems it should be illegal. is it??anyway, anything would help and im sure alot of non-indians would appreciate some insightthanks again for being a forum member
colokumelki cant hunt big game during the hard winter my season is aug1-dec31and we got our own scientists, own roads, but we do pay the same taxes as you. got our own programs, got our own game wardens. you know nothing about tribal laws, regs or actually anything. im not a yakama. so i fall into that other tribes area i guess. i didnt need the boldt desicion to tell me what and where i can hunt. its spelled out in OUR treaty. dont be so narrow minded. non natives poach! obviously alot. thats why you continue to need more game wardens and that makes your tags cost more and so on and so on. if you aint got proof stay quiet. btw do you think we dont pay taxes like everyone else?
i think the tribes have been managing the big game herds in this country for a long time and know what they are doing. lot longer than the state management system.
I missed alot since I went to my kids football game .. which they kicked some azz and are now 4-0 .... But I need to now laugh at this sheet because it will hit 20 pages ...Hell your going to beat BUCKLUCKY and he has something to really talk about he actually bagged up an elk ... NOW THATS SOME IMPORTANT SHEET THEIR NOW I guess you guys love pi$$ing each other off
look the answer i give is not going to make you happy. we take care of OUR reservation. and the things on it. people and animals. we reserved the right to hunt in our usual and acustomed hunting areas. which includes all unclaimed land in that area. the state chooses to do what they do in regard to game management they see fit. you are governed by the states regulations on fishing and hunting. the ctuir has there own programs and also works with the states in managing game. why do you think you have seasons and regulations? its to manage the game right. so the herds are not desimated. yakamas cant shoot cows from end of dec to aug. why do you think they do that? you know the answer. i think the tribes have been managing the big game herds in this country for a long time and know what they are doing. lot longer than the state management system.
Going well Colockum...the family hasn't had time to hunt yet this year, but hopefully soon.
