Title: Why haven't tribes hunted certain animals?
Post by: Special T on November 30, 2009, 10:48:41 AM
I always have wondered why certain tribes have not actively hunted problem animals like the seals by Bonneville dam or the wolves that are spreading? Have they just remained silent using the SSS or is there a political/legal reason for not exercising tribal hunting rights? I would seem a great benefit to circumvent the WDFW red tape to solving some of our current problems?

that's the problem they would be helping out and they don't want to do that. :chuckle:
i am sure they can do what they want and i am sure they do wack a few seals but a lot of tribes i don't think will shoot wolves because of there beliefs

Seal protection is Federal not State, even the tribes hesitate to mess with the Feds. And it would also screw up the false "steward of the animals" "kill only what we need" and the "use every part of the animal" image the tribes have promoted.

Over Halloween weekend I watched some Squaxin gill netters pop several seals that were getting too close to their set.  One shot was at 9:30 at night.  We could see it lit up by their spotlight.  We were actually cheering them on.
