First off, you may wish to visit and chat with some guys before asking for help, many feel a bit weary to help out a guy who just asks for help on his first post.....
We have an Introductions thread...

Isn't the St Helens a long ways from traditional hunting grounds of the Lummi? :dunno:Fore fathers once travel a path through the area one time, so it's legit. :P

Most of the guys on here are very helpful, but usually not to people who com eon here and ask for help as there first post. Most people come on here and add some content get to know people and then ask for help...
Alot of people have come on here for help and then left as soon as they got what they wanted and never contributed to the website.

But you might want to attend
WLC
BNCOC
ANCOC
1SG course
Before you come on here and throw out the military trump card. Like Ice said there are lots of ways to introduce yourself and become friends and ask questions about it. SO as for me I will keep my OPSEC to myself.
And honeslty 4 the record I have never heard of an elk being called a forked horn. And with being stationed in Alaska for 6 years if you hunted up there you would know how hard it is to get a place to hunt and why people are not just handing out places and information to hunt like a DA 4550-R.

Scott... Although you are attending the 1SG Course at this time and your accomplishments are great. Once you are selected and able to attend the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy (USASMA) like me, they will teach you how to spell legit without the extra "e". ;) :IBCOOL:Doh.... Roger that SGM!!! Don't you have a formation to go conduct???

I have been an enrolled member since '99. I have always just hunted deer up north. And I been gone from this state since '02. I just know I can hunt down in that area for elk. Im goin up friday to get my tags and regs. And for some reason the Lummi arent able to hunt the Nooksack herd. As to my knowledge. Gotta hunt south of Hwy 20. And for everyone else I just found the site. Not like im just on here to ask for help and run. I was pretty active in the Alaska forums helping fellow hunters and fisherman and snowmobilers.
Last I heard the Lummi's can only hunt as far south as the White River Unit.
As far as I know the Nooksack herd is being managed as a special unit for both the Nooksack tribe and WDFW. Only a certain amount of tribal hunters can hunt it, just like the general citizens who apply for the permit. So basically only the Nooksack Tribe and those who win the WDFW Permit can hunt it.
Alaska natives hunting and fishing is a big difference from down here. Yes you may have helped others in AK, but you should never identify yourself as a tribal member on any hunting or fishing websites in WA. You will be bashed and harrassed, and quite honestly I have no problem with it. The tribes in this state have raped the fisheries and hunting (especially elk) in this state to a point where some herds aren't even huntable to this day.

Wait what? Why can't he identify himself? I haven't seen a tribal member bashed or harrassed just because they're a tribal member, give the members of this forum a little credit. damn.

Bigtex got that right...the elk were shot out of this area a few years back by those who felt their "native rights" allowed them to shoot anytime anywhere. WDFW had to go south and transplant some elk back up here to establish a herd. WDFW has given the majority of the permits for this small herd to the "natives". So lets hope they can restrain themselves this time and the herd can build. That being said there is the attitude amoung the "locals" that if it walks across their land it is theirs to shoot...anytime anything >:( So those of us that play by the rules are stuck with whatever we can scrounge up and hope for the best. Locals or Natives rules or my rules what do we play by :dunno: I burn at both of their attitudes. My conscious is clean but my gun is loaded for the time when the rules give me the call.
