Title: 2 bulls-stampede 466
Post by: firemechanic on November 18, 2008, 04:10:17 PM: Saw 2 280-320 class bulls taken out of the stampede 466 this last weekend. I looked in the game regs. and did not see that unit was open. Maybe poachers or indians?

oh yeah ive seen plenty of indians bringing elk out of stampede and teanum. cows, calfs, bulls it didnt matter as long as they got to get thier elk. i seen one indian with a winch on the back of his truck and 1000ft of cable and 2 extra spools of 1000ft cable just to get elk out. now i dont know how he actually managed that but he had his "share" of elk.

Stampede Pass area-Tribal members took 24 of 48 deer taken and 15 of 8 elk. Nooksack-Tribal hunters took 14 of 10 elk. Of the 45,916 deer and elk hunted, 992 animals were taken by tribal members.
