Does anyone have any info on this? The volunteer wouldn't offer any additional info when pressed for further information.

In my opinion, it is a good thing to cease feeding operations, especially with the cat problems and tribal kills.
Those elk can survive just fine without the state feeding them.

natives poach every feeding station. Several years ago broke the gate at the wenas station and shot several bulls on the feed pile. did not retrieve all the meat. DNR and wardens do nothing. always been that way.
That's because DNR and wardens cannot do anything. Their hands are tied. Need a fed to be involved, and they are the ones that won't.

It saves the crops but makes it more convenient for native’s and predator’s to get to the elk.
Let’s not turn this into a native bashing thread.

There is lots of language involved. Closed areas, the feedlots are still closed to natives. Nile closed this year for the first time. Elk staged on one side of the road, legal for natives and fed on the other, not legal. Lots of gut piles down by the feed, illegal side. Lots of conflicts with people. It was not a pretty situation. As for cutting locks and going into a closed area. I’d think all would be in trouble as I don’t believe the treaty pertains to that, but I could be wrong. Lots of politics
Which tribe? Muckleshoots or Yakamas?

It’s not poaching natives have the right to do it. The state just concentrates the elk by feeding them so the elk stay out of farmers crops.

Whitefoot could probably answer that better than I could. Yakama for sure but Mucks are making inroads. I don't keep up with it. THe Mucks bought the Ranch next to me, my neighbors and they farm it. They do a dang good job. I assume they are selling the hay to the WDFW, thats what I heard.There is lots of language involved. Closed areas, the feedlots are still closed to natives.

Interesting, they are buying up a lot of land. Kind of ironic the muckleshoots shoot them off the feed lots. They were feeding elk over in greenwater on the tree farm they bought, never heard of them shooting them though
