Well then remove the chip from your shoulder. Hunting isn't a competition. No one's bragging about this animal being reflective of how good of a hunter this guy is.

I'm assuming he's a colville member because he looks native and the title says colville tribal buck.
Do I know for sure who or what he is ? No. I have an in-law who's colville and I know from him they have a permit system and they stick to it very good from what he said. I've
Reviewed their regs and seen and held and read what there permits say and entail so from what he's told me and I've read yes, their system is good in my opinion.

I have personally seen some toads on the Colville reservation. Most of the tribes do a good job managing there game. The Makah's have some of the biggest Roosevelt bulls I've seen on the rez.

Two bucks a day per member from July through November. 6 tags per member on the north half. Not sure how good that management is. Also, last I recall, their deer numbers were way down, and primarily bears were to blame.
Its great managment because hardly anybody hunts these deer. And deer numbers are down everywhere, not just on the rez.

Truth is that there are mule deer living in there that rarely (if ever) see a hunter puts age class on them, and that they harvest a lot of does so the buck-to-doe ratio is pretty high.
All the politics aside, that's a great buck, and I'll bet it was harvested by a guy that puts in his time in the woods. :tup:

Two bucks a day per member from July through November. 6 tags per member on the north half. Not sure how good that management is. Also, last I recall, their deer numbers were way down, and primarily bears were to blame.It is actually 2 bucks per day per tribal member from June 1 till Sept 30Th, then starting Oct 1- Dec 31 its 2 deer a day per tribal member, as Doe season opens up on Oct 1. That is for the South half of the reservation, which is actual tribal land. As far as the North Half goes, the ceded land, you are not allowed 6 tags per year, you are allowed 3 tags per year per tribal member. Nearly half if not more of these tags never get filled because there is no need to drive clear to the North Half and hunt when big bucks and more deer in general live way closer, also the tribe issued a recommendation that due to low observed white tail deer fawn recruitment following extreme winter conditions from 2007 to 2009, after a 2010 aerial surveying they recommended to not harvest white tail deer our of any of the north half, and to also avoid shooting white tail doe's throughout hunting season. I am not going to argue with you about management practices, if this deer was shot anywhere else, by anyone else we would not even be having this conversation in the first place. Deer numbers are not nearly as low on the reservation as they are elsewhere in the state, and the fact that there is already over 18 inches of snow in the high country around the reservation, and its just now Dec 1st has a lot more to do with low deer numbers, than the harvesting of these animals. This has been one of the more mild starts to winter we have had in the last 3 to 4 years, and that as you should know, since you seem to know a lot about deer management it sounds like, has a very negative impact on the deer herd as a whole. I personally know the guy that shot this deer, and he puts in the foot work for his kills, he dedicates a lot of time to being in the woods, and defiantly earned this buck, just like anyone else that hunts hard.

Really? And do you care to explain how you cannot credit their Big Game Management. They have a good permit system and from what I know from my in-law they are very stringent on it. Also from what I've learned from speaking with some Tribal Members from there at various meetings throughout the State they are very much involved in reporting and monitoring of harvested game due to their permit system.
They take a very proactive role in monitoring it and from what i've listened to, heard and read it sounds like it is working wonders for them. :tup:
Sorry Meat, I started to type and then noticed you posted your comments and very well stated indeed. Again, they have a good established game system and enforce it pretty good from what I'm told.
All I can say is congrats to the hunter and this is one of the reasons (not the main reason for those of you that know) why I won't post any pics of any harvested animals on here (even though I've only harvest one animal this year and that's fine with me).

You've got me lost here. I always thought severe early starts pushed the deer down lower and upped the hunter success rates, made winter grazing more difficult, was detrimental to fawn survival, and allowed predators to concentrate on smaller areas to target deer............ :dunno:

I don't know where you came across the negativity, but I was just stating what I believed the tribal limits were. Thanks for clearing up the seasons. They are actually longer than I thought. Don't remember muleys going through December, but I guess that's changed. As for T, congrats to him on a great buck. I was just hoping that his permission was granted to post his pic on a public forum.

Oh ya i am not saying that the early start of winter is not a good thing for hunting by any means at all, i should have been more clear with what i was stating, i was trying to get my point across that we have had a few severe winters in a row, and that is what is hurting the deer numbers, i was just saying we already got a lot of snow up high and its still early, by jan and feb deer herds are going to be hard pressed to find an ample amount of food, on top of being extremely pressured by predators

In states other than WA you can kill multiple deer a year, and on top of that in some states you can continue to buy tags until they are sold out, and furthermore there are states where you may have to shoot 4 to 6 doe's to even earn your buck tag. Just because you can shoot two deer per day for the season does not mean that every tribal member is going out and slaughtering 2 deer every single day. You have to have room to store the meat, and 2 to 3 deer per entire season is more than plenty for must hunters. There are laws set in place and enforced just like state regulations that prevent wasting game animals, this keeps people from strictly going out and horn hunting when they do not need the meat. I am not saying that this buck got as big as he did strictly because of management by any means, there obviously has to be the genetics present on top of a good diet with plenty of minerals to grow a buck of this caliber, but to think that good management practices do not account for part of it is just plain ignorance, its not like this is the only big buck on the reservation, and to be quite honest he is not the biggest buck on the reservation by any means at all. you have to accredit at least some of that to good management practices
Post by: PlateauNDN on December 01, 2011, 11:28:13 AM
The Colville Tribes Game Management is very good in my opinion and very detailed. If there was one like this here then every body would have very little to complain about. Yes, their regs say 2 deer per day, no possession limit but that is in reference to the South Half (Their Rez) not the North Half. Is that correct Meat?
I believe it states for the North Half (Ceded Land) any deer, tags are required, max. 2 per day, maximum 3 per year (It's a little more detailed per deer species so I just generalized), it says in big letters, "North Half Season Bag Limit for Deer: 3 deer for the entire season, inclusive of all hunts".
Elk in the North and South Half regardless of sex, tag is required and maximum 1 elk per year.
They also have established bow and rifle seasons for the South and North Half. I skimmed their regs during the summer from my in-law but now I think I'm going to look into it even more in case there are any other questions about it.
It's a lot more detailed but again, generalizing it and like I stated already from what I've been told from their Tribal Members it's working great for them so again, good game management system. :tup:
Oh and I think it's online as well on their website if anybody wants to read it for themselves, colvilletribes.com
Post by: JLS on December 01, 2011, 11:31:57 AM
If this buck came from MT, everyone would be falling over praising their deer mgmt. Yet in MT, you can shoot multiple does per year. At one point, you could shoot 6 mule deer does per year in some districts. Right now you can't after several hard winter/spring combinations.
Post by: SpotandStalk on December 01, 2011, 11:38:22 AM
I know personally of a 1/2 dozen 200+ mule deer that have been taken out of there, most of them were 10+ years ago though.

You guys have some great genes and awesome country for muleys to get into that "huge" class. The two most important factors in my opinion. The tribal forest practices you guys are using are top-notch. That rez is turning into the nicest forest in the state. I wish our practices were 1/10 the quality of yours. This too, benefits the wildlife in my opinion. For your sake, I'd like to see a couple more areas like the Hell Gate areas that would be managed for trophy potential on a draw basis only for you guys. Also, a couple lotto tags for deer/turkey for the white man would add quite a chunk change for the tribe. Have it set up so you have to be accompanied by a tribal member. Money in both pockets then.

I don't think you can credit management for this buck. :twocents:
Really? And do you care to explain how you cannot credit their Big Game Management. They have a good permit system and from what I know from my in-law they are very stringent on it. Also from what I've learned from speaking with some Tribal Members from there at various meetings throughout the State they are very much involved in reporting and monitoring of harvested game due to their permit system.
They take a very proactive role in monitoring it and from what i've listened to, heard and read it sounds like it is working wonders for them. :tup:
Sorry Meat, I started to type and then noticed you posted your comments and very well stated indeed. Again, they have a good established game system and enforce it pretty good from what I'm told.
All I can say is congrats to the hunter and this is one of the reasons (not the main reason for those of you that know) why I won't post any pics of any harvested animals on here (even though I've only harvest one animal this year and that's fine with me).
Seriously, how is a two bucks per day (or does part of the time) season that goes from June through December providing the "good" management that led to this buck. :dunno: I'm crediting this buck to great genetics, and living in a secure spot.
Great genetics, sercure spot, and I'm assuming some homework is what I would credit for this buck but I know nothing about the hunter. Not management. I'm not saying their management is horrible, but I will credit genetics and habitat before management and seasons. :twocents:

over a ridge and started rattling. Kinda was hoping they would call me a buck!! This was the start of late bowseason this year and they were hunting with rifles. Talked to them that
night and they can actually hunt from the rez all the way to the Canadian border if they want to. Awesome for them. Not so awesome for bowhunters....

Just cuz they are part of the Colville tribe does not mean they only hunt on the reservation. I had two tribal guys walk within 35 yards of my stand while I was in it. They went

You are correct. It is called "The North Half".
