Big Game Hunting => Elk Hunting => Topic started by: wall of wood camp on December 18, 2011, 08:38:18 PM

was listening to the local radio station 104.1 KXDD and heard the results of their biggest rack contest. Willard, whos bull looks awful familiar to one posted on an earlier forum about a native ameircan out of white swan with a ford excursion in the background who was able to go on DOE land which is off limits to most all and shoots Mr. Mass I believe he was referred to. He then enters a contest on the radio with the picture of the horns and wins the 250 dollar prize it just isn't right. yes i did enter but knew i didn't stand a chance at winning there were some great bulls on there that were taken fair chase with the purchase of a hunting license and tags that were much more deserving of the honor. just rubs me the wrong way to see this unfair harvest of game be rewarded.
-
I also entered and was a little pissed when I saw at least 3 bulls from previous years when it was a 2011 season contest.
-
:bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:
-
I entered too, somehow I'm not that suprised...
-
:bash: yep not quite right but hell big surprise :bash:
Oh this should get good :peep:
-
it wouldn't bother me as much if it was a half way decent picture. I would be curious who voted for this guy... Great picture, let's stand in front of your truck in your damn tee shirt with no animal just a rack
-
Don't think its right that he won it but it isn't a surprise that he did :twocents:
-
entitlement breeds hatred and jealousy.....I am jealous and he is entitled.
-
Looks like it is just skull capped, not even caped out :bdid:
-
i have friends that are natives and i love seeing their pictures of their hunts just as i do anyones hunts and animals they get, but the natives ansisters didn't invent the centerfire nor the black powder all these late hunts should be traditional bow only i think? thats what their ansisters used and were very capeable of killing what they needed with the stick bows. hell my ansisters didn't have seasons back then either so why cant i hunt with out tags? it rubbs me the wrong way but i'll live with the card i drew i guess

Pretty sure they never had hounds either but apparently that's a traditional way to hunt.... Sorry to get off topic but I hate the tribes and their privileges
-
Times have changed, if the natives want to ride around on a horse with a long boy then more power to them. Hunting out of trucks with 300's is not what they are "entitled" to in my opinion.
I'm sure that will offend some but Im getting tired of hearing about this crap constantly on here.
-
Why is this allowed to happen, there is nothing honorable in the actions of this poacher, and the radio station holds some responsibility.
-
Anyone feel that relations are getting better?
I would argue that when you sit down and talk with someone, that relations improve. When more information is shared-improvement. I don't feel it.
I do respect a few of the tribal members who post on this site, but I do not feel as a whole, that any of this is helping the situation....
-
It's not iceman. Not in that respect. It just helps the venting. Still, I doubt anyone would appreciate a random guy walking up to them and try to discuss why they believe they are scum. There's bad batches in every bakery. Unfortunately it's getting more difficult to police everyone up.
-
I hear you. I just cannot imagine where tribal/non-tribal relations will be in twenty years. I do not see how we can improve things.
-
I suspect they will be pretty close to where they are. You'd be surprised how some bad word of the mouth travels. Especially along rivers. It's not unique to the hunters. Either it won't have changed much or we will all be in a similar line of thought due to what the state has in store for us all. You know what they say about the enemy of my enemy...
-
I feel your pain. Its bullsh!t. :bash:
-
Everybody I talked to thought this was some serious BullSh!t. These natives need to stop rubbing this in our face.
Thats why they are doing it, to make "us "look bad to the comunity. Its like they are setting us up for public eyes. We have technoligy, take pics, and go straight to the press, LE dosent do anything, or allow the comunity see what they do wrong!
It was a "bigger than yours" contest, rite.... its bigger than yours! It still is a legal bull, just their laws.
We needs a change!
-
That just ain't rite. None of it is. How he won, how he got it, just not rite.

:yeah:

i can tell you where it will be in 20 years, the wolves will have decimated just about everything, the natives will blame it on the white man and we will lose are huntn rights cause there isnt enough game for whites and natives so the natives win out and we lose again, this is gettn real old..... all people white and native should have to hunt under the same damn rules with the same damn prices thats the only way this will get settled i know the whiteman could sure use the natives on this wolf issue, they obviously have more pull than non natives and if they wanted they could put some of that casino money to good use and help us out.. :twocents:
-
You guys make it sound like WE all went out an harvested that bull well WE all didn't I don't agree with how he won tha contest but what if that bull came off the rez you'd still fill tha same way I think also I don't agree with how he did get his harvest either.
-
Hair trigger, some may actually see things that way but I think most people don't want to include you in this lump of nonsense. They are lumping all the ones who choose to do this. Not all period.
You make it seem like WE all bash natives but WE all don't and I don't agree with any bigoted form of bashing.
-
i can honestly tell you if a native killed that bull with a tag and in an area everyone can hunt and during a season that has everyone else huntn in it, then hell i would be one of the first to congradulate him, but what gets old is us non natives taking a back seat to some of the best huntn in the world and have to watch natives get to hunt land that either should be open for permits for everyone to have a chance or left alone, those elk are like the elk at northwest trek they dont have the same instincts to survive hell that elk probably thought someone was just gonna take his picture, damn he was sure wrong
-
On the wolf issue you guys can't shoot them? I don't know but id be glad to help with this in what ever way possible I'm not even sure if we can but if one was goin to attack it'd be ok right???
-
I've seen wolf tracks on bear creek trail while hiking in to look for a ram for my brother in law was pretty creepy
-
it sure would be nice for the natives to raise a big stink over the wolves i bet you guys have the power to make it go away
-

I'm pretty sure I have seen pictures of indians with wolf pelts being used for ceremonies and that would be your heritage right? So why is it you don't go out and shoot as many as elk :dunno: I would think you would have more of a leg to stand on that I :dunno:
OH BOY OH BOY I think I found the loop hole we've been looking for :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

Wolves Seals bald eagles all under federal protection so tribes are under similar regulations as the states when it comes to them....which is a bummer because seals were a bigger part of the history of many tribes and played a bigger role than whales or salmon...many of the tribes on the coast relied on seals, cod, euchalon (smelt),and many of the berries and roots...... and salmon was a minimal player as was whale in fact whale has consistently remained far more of a staple to the norse people throughout history.....its interesting to note that the species that played a huge role in survival of the coastal peoples are virtually ignored.
-
THEM THEY NATIVES INDIANS all the words mean more then one just sayin how I read it is all
-
You read really loud! :chuckle:
-
Kinda big words ya know like IF "IF YOUR GRANDMA HAD BALLS YOU'D HAVE TWO GRANDPAS " LOL small words can have big meanings lol

:yeah: :yeah:
Make it a level playing field. Everyone, native and white and black and yellow and whatever ... gets to buy a license and tag and put in for permits.... STOP the I can hunt whenever and however and wherever I want because I am a Native..... That dog hunted 50-75 years ago maybe... but not anymore.
-
This really took off since last night when I last read this thread. You guys no my stance on the bull and hunter in question so I'm not going to dive into that but, I will say I didn't vote for him and still do not support the harvesting of "preserve/farm elk" from down there. Again, the wolf issue is another topic in which I've voiced my concern to and it again falls just like the Colvilles, they support the stance of re-introduction at a very minimal basis as long as it does not affect the Tribal Members ability to harvest game. Time will tell and as long as the bashing of individuals continues I don't care, and you guys no that, just don't bash the entire group and there won't be any problems from me. :tup:

i thought wolves in E. WA were not federally protected anymore?

In parts of E. WA. they are still protected, mainly the 300 GMU areas. I asked the same question.

Just a high fence hunt that I paid for with my tax dollars.

if they arent federally protected then the state could manage however they want in which case we should be able to shoot at will if stock etc is in danger? :dunno:

:dunno: Again, I asked on here if they are still federally protected in the 300 gmu's and the response was "yes" so if they are federally protected then they fall under ESA until that is lifted and they become a threat to the Tribes in the area.
HYPOTHETICALLY, if I was in a 300 gmu area and I came upon a wolf that showed aggression towards myself and family I would put it down because they are not federally protected. If they were still federally protected I would have to go to the extreme to prove we were being shown aggression and life/limb-threatening behavior before I did anything because the tree huggers and bunny lovers would love more than anything to make an example of somebody.
The one thing I would have in favor is being a Tribal Member and hopefully have the support of the Tribe if things turned south for defending my family. The State has shown it's lack of support for anybody defending themselves against wolves so I would definitley see them not taking a stance or supporting the issue.
If they are not federally protected then it would appear that they are open to hunting since the Tribe doesn't have them listed as being restricted or protected in our Fish and Game regs. Besides I thought there were no wolves in Central WA. :dunno: :chuckle:

I love how every thread always comes back to wolves :chuckle: It could be a question about which is the best range finder for bowhunting elk and it would still come back to wolves. :chuckle:

I think a few of the waterfowl threads are doing that now. :chuckle:
-
Or it could be about Tribal Hunters and still come back to wolves. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: At least we are finally finding something to agree on.

-
:yike: Never thought of that. Better get my pole out and bring my kids because their dying to do some more fishing. My youngest boy wants to reel in another big one and give it a good wack to the head. :chuckle: We can say the SEA WOLF has now adapted to live in fresh waters in the Pacific Northwest and is now threatening big game wildlife! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
Could we use live bait :chuckle:

:chuckle: :chuckle:
-
Huntbear I should have known that you had already worked out the deals on your "wolf fishing" plan. :chuckle:
-
let me know when you start your wolf fishing guide servise. i want to book a trip. sounds fun. :chuckle:

Spoke with the Radio Station this morning about this and the prize money has not been collected yet and in order for it to be claimed the winner will now have to provide a valid 2011 hunting license, a valid notched 2011 transport tag and the special permit for the area the animal came from if applicable. It should be interesting to see what information will be provided since it doesn't exist but at least i can feel better about the winner if the required info is produced prior to claiming a prize. it took a long discussion and consultation with the game department but I believe we will be able to say in the end justice will prevail and fair is fair.
I do like that the thread didn't get too out of line and some positive comments came out of it in terms of possible wolf management/iradication when can i book my wolf fishing trip?

Thats probably the best news I have heard all year concerning topics such as this. Interesting to see what comes of it

:yeah: at least related to this particular person glad he's not going to be able to collect the prize even though he "won". I didn't vote for him because I believed there were other great racks besides this one.
-
Things usually work themselves out in the end. I am glad this worked out as well. The radio station to avoid this in the future should put a disclaimer about these rules so people who can't prove this do not apply in the future. IMHO I would rather see a 300" bull with a good hard earned story win than a 400" bull without a good one.
-
I can't figure out why I didn't win. That was one huge picture of my elk tag!
-
Just curios what everyone will talk about when in the near future (5-10) years from now there will be no racks to enter into a contest, due to the recklace over harvesting from the tribes along with are liberal Infiltrated wdfg supporting the wolf?
-
who got the biggest spike is already out there so maybe the biggest cow? :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
yeah i got a couple big cows. delicious.
-
I hear you. I just cannot imagine where tribal/non-tribal relations will be in twenty years. I do not see how we can improve things.
We will be paying taxes and access fees to them.
-
It all depends on our resources (elk and deer) If our resources continue to decline and we lose more places to hunt then expect them to get worse. If the resources improve expect relations to improve. People only fight over things that there isn't enough to go around of. If we had enough we wouldn't fight. But since our resources are decreasing you are seeing the decline of relations. Which is a shame because we are all American's. We should all share and have equal opportunity. But since one group has rights that others do not there will be fighting. Call it jealousy call it discrimination. Call it what you will but there will always be friction when one group of people are inequal to the others due to race.
