On most of the res's here in MT you cant find a deer,they hunt year round and kill whatever they please,they will end up in the same boat if they dont start regulating these "meat" tags.Everyone knows they dont need the meat,they have an endless supply of Govt funding/food if they are actually hungry.If they were half as poor as they let on they wouldnt have the fuel in their rigs to go look for them,we all know that hunting is the most expensive source of food there is.Ougt to hire their f&G officers off the rez so they will do their job.
