How about the Native Americans that don't abuse their hunting rights take a stand and raise enough stink with their tribes so that the problem "slaughter hunters" get pressured enough to stop this senseless slaughter that occurs every year.  You take the pictures of the truckloads of deer and elk that come back onto the Rez, and you send them to the Press to embarrass and pressure your tribe until it stops.  Us "white eyes" will never be able to fix this issue since our government feels that its hands are tied because of some 200 year old treaties.  If YOU don't get your own people to stop, then there will be a time in the future where the only thing left to hunt will be the empty beer cans strewn throughout the wilderness.  (and those are left by both ethnic groups). 
So long as Native Americans continue to drive the mountains and fill the beds of their pickups with anything with fur or stretch their nets across the mouths of streams and rivers catching as many Salmon as they can, only to leave stacks of dead rotting fish on the banks, you will always be seen as "the problem".
There's a few Native Americans on this site that seem like stand up guys who have their chit together and understand the problems and issues.  If they'd step up and educate their people, it could go a long way towards changing things for the better.

  Sorry need to vent!  If they want to hunt the way they do they can ride horses over and shoot animals with bows and arrows they make.  If they want to fish with nets, they can hand weave them out of cedar bark or whatever they used back in the day.  If they want to take whales they can carve cedar canoes, and harpoon whales with ones they made with the materials they did when the treaty was signed.
  Thats my opinion!  When is the bs going to stop?

This is what canyelk48 was talking about, everything I read from you is all a big freaking joke!!! I hope you are still laughing when there is no animals left for you to go hunt and your family is starving.  Or if by some chance our government does something right for once and fixes this I can't wait to laugh in your face and turn "this big joke" right around.

He asked where I come from an I answered not stirring nothing

[HairTrigger]

I do what I can an don't say I don't cause you don't even know me I don't think its a joke the only joke is tha racist people

[sled]

  Dont think there is racist people here.  Simply put there is no longer enough resources in the state to allow certain members of the community to hunt like they did 200 years ago.

We do remember where we came from and we remember our history. We remember that unregulated hunting led to the decline and decimation of game animals. We remember that it was this decimation that resulted in sportsman developing game laws and harvest restrictions so we could conserve and ensure the continuation of the species. 

So based on this why do the Yakamas think that their unrestricted hunting will be any different and won't lead to the decimation of our herds. Especially since technology is so much better.

Back then conservation minded hunters pushed for game laws and people who were selfish and either didn't care about game animals or were naive to the situation were against this and cried about their rights being taken. This is the same situation just 100 years later.

Who's being racist?
I read every comment in the silver dollar thread and didn't say much during that process, all you ever did was tell us non natives we were racist and had false hopes and just laughed it off.  Never once did you supply constructive comments, and when people like Plateau and Colockumelk had intelligent things to say you just put them down.  Grow up and realize whats going on, we aren't out to get you cuz you're a different color, we want game management.

What I wanted on the silver dollar was the pictures on said he had for the proof an none surfaced. Basic a bashing tread from the get go never said any you were did I if I did show me where I did
