colockum poaching

Not sure if it has started yet but if it has someone should get some evidence for the news, with all the uproar about the killing of the whale on the coast, the iron is hot for having this type of stuff in the spotlight..........the news and airwaves are filled with stories about how bad this is, if onyl they knew what went on east of the mountains.....

Good point I've only heard the rumors and I dont live close to there so I dont have all the facts, but someone out there does. I heard he is up to something like 16 bulls this year allready and last year he killed about 25???? not sure correct me if I am wrong. I had a conversation with the bioligist from that area about the hunting or lack there of in seasons now in the Teanaway and he said it was because of the decline in the heard at the West Bar feeding staition from 4900 animals down to about 3600. My response: " Well I know the problem just stop that Yakima injun from killin bulls and selling the horns and that would be a great start"
His response: " It's a federal issue"
That is all he kept repeating!
It's not a federal issue it's a Washington issue and WA has not got the balls to challenge them and do whats right so the easiest thing to do is limit or cut back the seasons for hunters in the Clockum and the Teanaway. But that will not solve the problem, we need to get the damn pantywaists out of the game department and get someone in there that will do what's right.

I was just talking to my wife about this, and how the public needs to be more informed about what some indians acutually do to the deer and elk herds. being in the timber business i see alot abuse on both sides of the mountains. by both native and non native but the tribes seem to be more bold and arrogant.I pay my money to the state not the feds so i say its a state issue.

Hey the indians or a select few of them do the same thing on the west side.Right here in the area where they just POACHED a WHALE. There are a few in this area that go out every year in Sept. and again in Jan.- Feb. and kill as many of the large bulls as they can just for the purpose bragging rights.
On a side note the five who POACHED the Whale were turned over to the tribe and spent 1 hour in jail and were released on $250 bail.
You go kill a whale and see if you can get out of jail for any amount of bail!!!!!
This whole racist issue just pisses me off.

Thanks
