Shame, first shoot a hanford bull, then win a radio contest with it.

THEM THEY NATIVES INDIANS all the words mean more then one just sayin how I read it is all

[wraithen]

You read really loud! 

[HairTrigger]

Kinda big words ya know like IF "IF YOUR GRANDMA HAD BALLS YOU'D HAVE TWO GRANDPAS " LOL small words can have big meanings lol

i can honestly tell you if a native killed that bull with a tag and in an area everyone can hunt and during a season that has everyone else huntn in it, then hell i would be one of the first to congradulate him, but what gets old is us non natives taking a back seat to some of the best huntn in the world and have to watch natives get to hunt land that either should be open for permits for everyone to have a chance or left alone, those elk are like the elk at northwest trek they dont have the same instincts to survive hell that elk probably thought someone was just gonna take his picture, damn he was sure wrong

 

Make it a level playing field.  Everyone, native and white and black and yellow and whatever ... gets to buy a license and tag and put in for permits....  STOP the I can hunt whenever and however and wherever I want because I am a Native.....   That dog hunted 50-75 years ago maybe... but not anymore.

This really took off since last night when I last read this thread.  You guys no my stance on the bull and hunter in question so I'm not going to dive into that but, I will say I didn't vote for him and still do not support the harvesting of "preserve/farm elk" from down there.  Again, the wolf issue is another topic in which I've voiced my concern to and it again falls just like the Colvilles, they support the stance of re-introduction at a very minimal basis as long as it does not affect the Tribal Members ability to harvest game.  Time will tell and as long as the bashing of individuals continues I don't care, and you guys no that, just don't bash the entire group and there won't be any problems from me.

Wolves Seals bald eagles all under federal protection so tribes are under similar regulations as the states when it comes to them....

i thought wolves in E. WA were not federally protected anymore?

In parts of E. WA. they are still protected, mainly the 300 GMU areas.  I asked the same question.

Just a high fence hunt that I paid for with my tax dollars.

if they arent federally protected then the state could manage however they want in which case we should be able to shoot at will if stock etc is in danger?

   Again, I asked on here if they are still federally protected in the 300 gmu's and the response was "yes" so if they are federally protected then they fall under ESA until that is lifted and they become a threat to the Tribes in the area.

HYPOTHETICALLY, if I was in a 300 gmu area and I came upon a wolf that showed aggression towards myself and family I would put it down because they are not federally protected.  If they were still federally protected I would have to go to the extreme to prove we were being shown aggression and life/limb-threatening behavior before I did anything because the tree huggers and bunny lovers would love more than anything to make an example of somebody. 

The one thing I would have in favor is being a Tribal Member and hopefully have the support of the Tribe if things turned south for defending my family.  The State has shown it's lack of support for anybody defending themselves against wolves so I would definitley see them not taking a stance or supporting the issue. 

If they are not federally protected then it would appear that they are open to hunting since the Tribe doesn't have them listed as being restricted or protected in our Fish and Game regs.  Besides I thought there were no wolves in Central WA.

I love how every thread always comes back to wolves    It could be a question about which is the best range finder for bowhunting elk and it would still come back to wolves.

I think a few of the waterfowl threads are doing that now.

[PlateauNDN]

Or it could be about Tribal Hunters and still come back to wolves.   At least we are finally finding something to agree on.

Ok, so hunting wolves is not legal... .can we fish for wolves?  500 lb. dacron 5/0 treble hook with a raw steak for bait?  10 ft. sturgeon pole?
