Title: Dead Billy Goat already
Post by: Bearhunter on August 27, 2009, 11:02:46 AM
Thought with the dead deer already thread going you guys would like to here about the Dead Billy that was killed already in the Baker unit, two sundays ago.  A 10" billy, man the season doesnt even open tell the first for archery only, why cant they at least stick to the set WDFW seasons.  Call the WDFW they will tell you to call the Tribal Game department if you have questions.  WTF the WDFW hands are tied....

With out a doubt Native Kill without knowing the hole story. Did he give his name and number when you measured the horns. Possibly a Indian with a DOT and not a feather.

Thanks Shane

BC do you know the hole story I would like to know? Tribal Kill or not Just would like to know. The Yakama Tribe gives out four goat tags a year. Aug 1 I would definitely take one if I had the chance.

What's with the dropped bill on the hat? Is he hiding? Super Goat to collect and then shy away from the camera.
If that was something I busted my a$$ for and got it legit...I would be beaming for the paparazzi. Like Paris with no panties....Shining Smile Dude.
Must be nice to have an opportunity to take that animal like before the majority of hunters take to the hills...some with long awaited tag chances and lots of ground work clocked in....see him nabbed before September. Before September?  Really? Was that with a rifle? Really?
I mean...I don't mean to say that the anger and frustration given on this board is justified...I wouldn't do that myself but..but... like Chris Rock says..."I Understand"

Hope that was put to good use from tail to horn is all I can hope. Heckuva Billy. Four Winds Big Fella.

If they care about the game they hunt they wouldn't rape it. :twocents: They would only kill what they eat!NOT THEM ANTLERS! Time to change the treaty.It's not cowboys and indians any more we are all one so i think there shouln't be anymore treaty.GAME MANAGEMENT FOR EVERYONE. :twocents:

I try really hard to stay out of most of these but yak that last statement is a bunch of crap.  what my ancestors did to your ancestors is irrelevant.  lets talk about the here and now.  I am not saying that we forget the past but lets not lean on it like a crutch and use it as an excuse to do whatever we want.

With the way the tribes rape and pillage the lands our ancestors would have been better off marching em into the ocean :rolleyes:

Congrats to the guy though.  Looks like a good Goat and if he did it with one of 4 rez tags I guess its semi ok.  I'm still a firm believer if indians are to use their special seasons and bag limits they should use special equipment too, a stick, some twine, another stick and a sharp rock like the ancestors :rolleyes:

I sure Im sick and tired about all the indian bashing around here, bunch of mealy mouthed punkass bitches, you got a problem with an indian take it up with that indian, dont walk away and then bad mouth them as a race on the freakin net, ya bitch. Im part indian and belong to the Wyandot nation, I was raised in Port Angeles and not as an Indian, but white, thinking just like everyone else, blaming local indians for everything that I felt impacted my rights and opportunitys. Well eventualy I had to grow up and see the whole picture, some times it is indians and some times it isnt. Ive seen alot of waste and greed come from white hunters and fishermen but that dont make white folks the real problem does it. Ive seen both side of this debate come together right here on this site and try to find resolution and common ground, Whites and Indians, and it seems they are still working on solutions to these issues. Some of you say the past dosnt matter anymore, lets forget the treatys, well thats about as stupied of a statement as I ever heard, would you think that America should forget its History,or honor bound commitments, ever? *censored*! Your forefathers wrote those treatys you dislike so much, not the Indians. Should those treatys be modified to account for changing times? Maybe, but they wont be changed by a few moronic whining punkass bitches making racial slurs on the internet. They will be made by MEN, both white and Indian, who care about OUR heritage as hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen.

Holy cow!  Well put Deaddog.  I think that was pretty plain and simple to understand.  Comments seem to be wrapped around jealousy.  I have lived on the Rez my entire life and I have seen the good and the bad.  Some of the best and most loyal people I have ever met are Native American.  My children, wife and her family are all Native American and they are great people.  Very respectful and willing to help no matter what.  Some people should take the time to take that into consideration instead of the fact that they can shoot an animal with a bigger set of horns on it than they can.  Pretty sad when a race of people is judged over something as superficial as that.   :twocents:


With that being said.... Let the comments continue as they may.  You won't get anymore argument/debate from me because I am starting to understand that it doesn't make a difference for some of you.  You have to have something to bitch about no matter what.  You have your opinion and that's okay.  It's probably never going to change and that's okay too.  Good luck to all of you in the upcoming hunting seasons.   :hello:

Could be I suppose, perhaps they should say what they mean, :dunno: Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, I dont care what race, its not even in close to the same issue. This country waged war on the Native people inhabiting the land, for the land and its wealth and they won, cool, thats the way of humanity, live with it. With all of this in the minds of our leaders of that time, they came upon the idea of a treaty, the Indians get to live on what ever piece of dirt was not in demand by the whites and the whites get every thing else, once again, cool, but they were given certain rights because of those damn old treatys. And yes some Indians break the law, break the treaty, just like white folks do and Blacks, Mex,.... Littlebuf, I have great respect for you and your opinions, you have earned that by what you have posted in the past on many topics. But if you think that anyone playing a racist card is apart of a logical, usefull debate than you realy need to rethink your thinking. The Nation I belong to, The Wyandot Nation was originaly a part of the Heron Nation of the great lakes, you may have heard of the name before, In the book, Last of the Mohicans, magwa, the bad Indian was a Wyandot. Can you imagine what it was like for a people living in that incredible moutainous part of the country, being picked up and shoved on a piece of scrubass land in Oklahoma, thats what happened, once again, cool! Now you want to bad mouth all Indians, slame them as a race for the actions of a few, and the treatys your great grandfathers wrote. I realy dont know what to say to folks who think that way, except, damn you punkass bitch, your given white folks a bad name.     P.S. not you Littlebuff, respect is intact as far as Im concerned.

Post by: littlebuf on August 28, 2009, 02:08:11 PM
this thing gets so heated because of the passion we ALL feel about the game we pursue. talk to a non hunter or a neutral person that could care less and they would say 'whats the big deal" well to us hunters game management is a big deal, maybe to some its jealousy but not for most. when passions run high things can get ugly fast. whats the answer  :dunno: kinda like fixing health care, is there a answer? i just like to see consistency when folks condemn one thing but then the same thing is ok in another scenario. as far as the race thing woopty doo. my family lineage includes Iroquois,Gypsy,Irish and my wife's grandmother was a full blood Cherokee. i don't believe any of this entitles me or my kids to jack squat that the next guy doesn't get. i earn my entitlements and its got nothing to do with what my ancestors endured based on there race or color (lack of color on the Irish side)
Title: Re: Dead Billy Goat already
Post by: deaddog on August 28, 2009, 02:29:15 PM

Think about your statement for just a minute if you can scrape two brain cells together for the party,     They would be very respected ( I assume you mean whites would respect them) if they didnt have the rights whites gave them, but we gave them the rights so we should treat them with racism and jealousy.

i know, thats the problem. but as soon as you bring it up your labeled a bigot. the argument is circular anyway so its forever going to go nowhere. to our native friends on here, to you believe you should still maintain the hunting regulations that you currently have solely considering the future of the game animals we all hunt and not based on the political baggage we all carry.
Title: Re: Dead Billy Goat already
Post by: deaddog on August 28, 2009, 03:54:30 PM
I belive the solution is for everyone to play by the same rules, plain and simple. We cant possibley have good game management otherwise. If you say you think the treatys are dated and need to be changed, Im not going to call you a bigot, Ill agree with you on that point. If you just want to bad mouth folks just for their heritage, well I already said it, didnt I. I think most of us that hunt with the passion we have, white or Indian would agree, it should no longer be about what I think I have coming to me or what you think you have coming to you, It needs to start being about the elk, deer, bear, all the critters that we love to hunt and most of all, having them around for our kids to hunt.

No need to be a *censored* dead dog.  All I was saying is that special rightsbreed racism.  It's a fact of life.  The indians will never be totally respected by this generation of white folks because of it, no matter who gave them those rights.  It's no different with any other race that recieves special treatment.  I guess the only difference is that they are a sovereign nation and I do respect that, but that changes when they come off the rez. :twocents:

Jealousy has nothing to do with it, it's just flat out BS. Those treaties should have been altered when the tribes were given exclusive rights to the casino industry. Also, if these natives are so interested in keeping their heritage intact, why do they hunt with the white mans weapons? It's because they don't give a s___ about what their ancestors did, it's all about taking advantage of what they can, here and now, allowed by our government.
Title: Re: Dead Billy Goat already
Post by: Yak-NDN on August 29, 2009, 06:05:30 PM
Please read the treaty's of the tribes that you are concerned with or read all of them some can hunt some cant some have more say on what goes on in this territory than the State some must do what the State tells them. Some of the Tribes that you complain about are regulated or work with the State. I just ask that you read up and understand what you are talking about before you start popping off. And sagerat please look into the exclusive rights with casino's are you talking about casino's on the rez because anyone can open one off the rez, also I was wandering about the weapons the white man had please look up who had the first rifle. It was not a white man.

I'm not looking up anything. This is a stupid discussion, things will never change. I just saw a dead buck in August and thought it was pretty lame and it is no matter who shot it and I feel the same with this goat. Makes no sense to me but it sure as hell does to the ones that can do it. I don't mind hunting for leftovers, I get my share. ;) By the way, who invented the first aluminum fishing boat, synthetic gill nets, rifle scopes, outboard motor, bolt action, etc......

Yakndn, actually no entity may open any casino similar to the ones the tribes open, even the ones tribes open off the reservation. Do you see any non-tribal casinos that are similar, any examples other than Reno/Vegas, etc....In this state?

Other issues surrounding tribal venues trouble us taxpayers. Washington state taxpayers continually spend resources extinguishing fires on the reservations. Sovereign nations? Tribal venues do not carry liability insurance. Ever hear of someone suing a tribal casino for slippin on ice, or sexual harassment, or other negligence like selling explosives to children? Not that I have hear of...  Do tribes pay Labor and Industries insurance for workers like all other businesses in the state are forced to pay? Tribes can place a music venue into a neighborhood, totally disregarding the normal traffic and safety enhancement/measures which normal business would have to put in place, with no penalty.

Tribal members who are arrested off the reservation are surely treated completely different than are normal Washingtonians..., is this fair? Please don't even try to defend this issue, I know it very well, and can assure you that many tribal members are basically getting a get out of jail free card many times....no prosecution, no jail, nothing. Turned over to the tribe for nothing....no prosecution on their end either...

Do tribes collect sales or over the road fuel taxes at "tribal" gas stations? Do they reimburse the state these taxes, or pocket them?

Tribes are manufacturing cigarettes in this state now, are they collecting and reimbursing the government like other business would have to?

Lets face it, Tribes in this state have every single opportunity to royally screw over the citizens of this state, and they take full advantage of it.

Sovereign Nation my ass.
