If you need to kill a dozen deer to “feed” your family you have failed at a lot of things in life and probably shouldn’t be spreading your spawn
"family" The way you say this makes readers think you know how many there are in a "family" Do you?
When supporting 5 different households, 12 deer is reasonable.

There are some people on this forum who shoot 6+ deer a year and an elk or two in the west. How is that any different?
Taking one deer in multiple states is definitely very different than taking multiple deer from the same herd.  :twocents:

Never been there.
But this topic hits every year.
Maybe they should wipe out all the roads ,just completely wipe them out.Better for the elk,then if you wanna hunt it,you walk your lazy @$$ in native or white,or other.
I rather piss in the wind,then have piss down my back.

Son and I were over late archery in 342. Mud Lake entrance off 410 is gated, private property - Garrett Canyon road gate locked (early) - only entrance was up 1701 gate still open down into said area.  Those that know the area know it's a winter area for elk.  If rifles get down there before they lock the 1701 gate it would not be good.

They might have the right but they don't have to abuse the right and maybe they should consider what is RIGHT for the future of Game animals
think before you type. yall may have the right to bare arms but that dont mean you need to abuse that right by poaching.

how do you like it when it gets turned around on ya?

Oh Mah I dont think you got your point across. I'm scratching my head a bit
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Amen. No road access = no poaching and no road hunting. Imagine the complaining then. Makes me tired just thinking about how worked up people would get if they had to earn their meat with their boots.

Good to know.  It has been years since we were both up there.  I will say it's definitely better for the game in there. :tup:

yeah I'm not sad about that aspect at all! I hike it often to keep my mountain legs and it always amazes me how mother nature reclaims things

Between tribes slaughtering elk all year long, poachers, overpopulated cats, and now wolves, won't be too long till there is no more elk hunting in Washington.

How many of you guys who hunt that area and are pointing at tribal members, refused to use your elk and deer tags this year to help the elk and deer? Bueler, Bueler?

Hunters that don't fill their tags have got to have an excuse.Must be someone else's fault not their own.

I chose not to shoot a deer or an elk this year because I think the herd could use a break. I am concerned with the future of the herd and feel its hypocritical to take more than I need.  Its well within my right, I bought tags.   Are you saying I dont have the skills to kill something?  I really dont see anything wrong with his statement.

You know what?I also don't see you whining about not filling your tag because of the natives.Don't try to MSM my statement.I never said anywhere here or anywhere else that you don't have a right to do anything.

IF YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH PLACING THE BLAME OF THE HERD ON TRIBAL THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU.

ALL RACES OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO ABUSE THEIR RIGHTS WHEN IT COMES TO HUNTING.POACHERS COME IN ALL COLORS.

What if several people go to these other states and take multiple deer/elk from these other herds?I guess it's same same then.

Sarcasm to show what some natives feel about our 2nd amendment and white poachers.
