Question on access for native americans
« on: November 28, 2021, 05:21:26 PM »
I hunt late Umtanum archery elk.  We keep getting people Driving the not authorized roads.  I get they can hunt how the natives have their own hunts, but how is it they can drive the wildlife dept authorized only roads? We walk in and when asked they said look at my liscense plate, I am tribal and can do whatever I want.  Best of all they shooting rifles while we archery.   Any knowledge thoughts or prior dept response?

I don't know about there but in the Nooksack the Indians can hunt with rifles, 24/7 during bow and muzzy seasons.  Yes spot lighting is legal for them is what I'm told.

I thought several years ago a judge ruled yes they can have access to traditional hunting grounds but they were to use traditional transportation (horses) to access and use traditional hunting methods (bow and arrow)?

I think we should start a "Go Fund Me" to pay them bounties for shooting predators that we can't.  :dunno:

I know they are assured access. I don't think "access" has ever been defined as to mode of transport. If access was restricted any violations would be enforced by tribal authorities. Need I say more.

Can they hunt cougars with dogs???  We may need help if we want to keep our ungulate herds intact.
