IN PROGRSS
NO PICTURE TAKING

Post by: ADBuck24 on October 18, 2018, 01:37:32 PM: I was born and raised in that area. Those are pretty much the rules 24/7/365. I remember that if we were driving through the rez and wanted to look at a herd of elk off the side of the road we would have to act like we were having vehicle issues. If you got caught watching a herd on the Rez you were screwed. They would accuse you of trying to come up with a plan to poach their elk. It seems like unless you have a tag or are a member of the rez your best bet is just to keep on driving. There is some absolute crazy *censored* that they do out there.
