I deleted the P.M., but from what I recall, he said: last year was the first year and they gave 10 tags and of those 6 to 7 were filled. They were targeting Sheep on the reservation. This year they gave 25 tags and again were encouraging those tag holders to stay on the reservation as that is where the population needed to be thinned. I cc'd him a copy of this thread, so he could verify the information I posted.

Once again, we sit back and take the politically correct approach, and get kicked square in the sack! So, how many more kicks can everyone take?

Sorry Coastal, I should have been more clear.....I think there are an over abundance of Eastern Washington Tribal Hunters! I really don't have a clue what goes on over there. Don't look too much into the ........ as I seem to do it all the time. Guess I have a twitchy ...... finger!Well I think there is an over abundance of tribal hunters.....

As for the topic of sheep, I'm curious to hear what the management justification is for the tag increase. Too many sheep, too little habitat?
Post by: Coastal_native on September 23, 2011, 09:02:44 PM
on that note Coastal I am curious why the coastal natives are issued tags for elk when the Roosevelt elk are not native to that region and the ancestral indigenous hunters never hunted them.
????, There is no way I can answer that question without sounding like a jerk. If you really want an education, post it in the elk section and see what kind of responses you get. What is your source?

Elk in eastern Washington have always been the Rocky's. Early white settlers and market hunters almost wiped them out. While many say they were reintroduced I think it best to say they were augmented by elk from Yellowstone and a few other areas. If you look into the history of game laws in this state they started with the protection of elk from the ??????

So what's the scoop on the sheep? Are they native & hunted by tribes long ago or were they planted?Native species that was extirpated and reintroduced.

I'll say it. It is compete s**t that get any tags period are givin to tribal hunters. Argue what ever argument you want, i truely dont care. Flip the script for just once and see what happens. Give my people 42 tags (while you wait a whole lifetime to draw one) and see how you feel. Not to mention the fact that your tags are for "population control" on an animal that is widely considered as one of the greatest trophies and sought after animals in North America. I bet what ends up happening is the tribe will end up selling the tags as guided hunts and making a huge chunk of change to boot. I am beyond pissed.
Sorry but the State doesn't issue the Tribe anything its our own Game Dept. And our Tribal Council. Its against our own Laws to sell the tags and all hunting privileges would be taken away if caught. We don't have big game open to anybody other than enrolled tribal members.

Yes this is true. I heard it with my own ears at the meeting a couple weeks ago with the Yakamas and Muckleshoots. They are getting 25 ram tags and 17 ewe tags. The representitve from the Yakamas said "the reason for the extra tags is becuase there is a state wide over abundance of sheep"so why not raffle the tags off to us regular people, the natives always get to deplete the wildlife, we pay and pay and get screwed in the butt when the indians get to do as they wish.
this could have brought revenue to WDFW, way to screw up morons!
atleast the tribals wont be able to DRIVE in and decimate the population as they do in colockum, they will have to get off their fat axxes and HIKE for their kills.

Did the tribes have any part of the reintroduction like antelope or did we pay for all the transplants? I know there was tribal sheep hunting in the blues when it was closed to us. I can see population control meaning take all the big rams.

All different units Tieton, Clem, Yakima Can, Quilamene,and on the rez The tag they drew is only good for one sheep in the area they drew. And you must report it within a certain amount of time and bring it in so they can tag it.
Yak, Any way you could fill us all in on how many tags each unit got? where could someone find this information?
