Sep 6, WDFW emergency closure elk season in a certain GMUs within the complaining tribe's boundaries. Bios get to work. Tribes get some obscure federal permit to hunt elk ceremonially during the closure. Oct 25, tribes and WDFW find elk are fine plan to re-open seasons. Nov 15, tribes/WDFW/gov have the rest of their meeting. Nov 16, seasons open and WDFW scrambling on how to accommodate hunters that missed early seasons and busy trying to get red tape through commission.
