The way I see it is the problem with Washington is that it's government is corrupt. The purpose of WDFW enforcement is to fine it's citizenry for whatever it's Officers can make up. It's the same with cops and State Patrol. If they can't tax it or make us pay for a license an application, or registration then it is a tax in the form of petty laws. No ethics, no honor, just pay the Queen. (It is her deer.)

There is no money in going after the tribes so WDFW does not care. If they could get money by policing them I think they would. But tribes will fight everything in court, we just pay fines and move on. So we are suckers and well, they are not. The way to tackle this is head on. The Tribes are also all about money. Between fish and wildlife and casinos they are swimming in revenue that every other citizen could never dream of. Mostly because they are free of the socialism that we face. No taxes, no regulations, I envy them. I also admire them. They don't take it. We do. If you don't like the system, if you don't like the game vote. Most of us should have gotten a ballot. This year, next year are very important ones. VOTE. Change the game. Want to get their attention, tax their casinos, there is some revenue for WDFW.
What I would like the Tribes (Yakima) to do? Make some fair rules and hunting seasons, punish true Tribal crimes, enforce their own or loose the tax free gravy train, end of that sweet gambling money. Then tax them in all other industries as any other American Company OR as a Foreign Business working inside of the United States, whatever they classify themselves as.

I think we covered the tax thing...

About as well as WDFW has. 26 pages of blame, ZERO fixing the problem. 

Priceless.

But I am not worried, there is always hope for page 27......

There is always hope for the future.  The Tax issue was debated numerous times under "fuel tax", "Tribal Fuel Tax" and countless other threads over the last 10 months or so, so yes, its been    and as mentioned the few of us on here have made attempts at home to try and reason with those in influential seats and as I've mentioned provide proof that I can use of illegal activity and I would be glad to help.

 Doesn't the Muck's hunting in the Yakama historic range piss off a lot of Yak's??

It doesn't seem to bother the yakimas that I talk to about hunting over there

So if over 100 years ago, and a yakima, saw another native hunting their land, wouldnt that have caused bloodshed?? serious question! If that was their(yakimas) hunting land, and another tribe was seen hunting the yakima land, wasnt that cause for tribal war?

Sorry Ddog, but you seem like a respectable young man who's very knowledgable but my family has been harvesting out of the 300 units for many generations and none of my elders recall Mucks being present in our area.  The powers that make the decisions wanna say its so then so be it.  I've shared my frustrations about some of the bad apples of your fellow Tribesmen and I tell you now they weren't pretty and if I didn't have my children I wouldve set them straight for trying to call me out in my Tribes Ceded Land.  The Yakamas I know and am friends and relatives I've talked to don't agree with it and have voiced our concern but until somebody is in place that doesn't bow down to the almighty dollar and thinks of the people nothing will happen.  I'm not saying I don't like the mucks because some of my in-laws are mucks and a couple of cousins I have are married so its not the dislike of the Tribe but rather the few bad apples.
