2000 Reservation hunting season begins
Ocean Waves of Basketry
DEER SEASON:September
(entire month)
October (entire month)
Dag Limit:Two (2) Antlcred
deer per family in September (only
on tag issued at a time; must return
first tag filled out in order to
receive second).
One (1) antlcred deer per fam
ily in October (must return
Erevious month tags to receive Octo
cr tag).
Designated Hunting: Only one
designated hunting tag will be al
lowed in possession in addition to
subsistence tag at any time. Desig
nated hunting tags will be issued only
for elders and handicapped.
Justification: Deer popula
tions have increased gradually over
the last ten years on the Reservation.
The past few years have featured ex
cellent forage available for deer and
relatively mild winters allowing for
good recruitment. This was the first
year since 1 996 that we met our man
agement goal of 20-25 bucks 100
docs post hunting season. In order to
maintain the buck numbers we rec
ommend three bucks per family be
allowed in 2000.
Changes from 1999 Recom
mendations: No special youth hunt
for the last ten days of August and no
August deer hunting based on the On
Reservation Fish & Wildlife Commit
tees recommendations. The harvest of
two bucks in the month of Septem
ber in lieu of August.
Other Recommendations: No
closure of the 22,000 acre South
Mutton Mountain fire area. Although
this area is more open and accessible
since the 1996 fire and subsequent
salvage of timber, there is sufficient
forage in the form of browse to main
tain a resident deer population and
accommodate some hunting harvest.
Increased enforcement for this area
will be necessary as many animals
have taken to this area as a safe ref
uge and will be easy targets, espe
cially elk during the deer season while
rutting. We do appreciate those mem
bers who respected this closure allow
ing the forage to come back and giv
ing the game a chance to recolonize
the area, but recognize the challenges
ahead at maintaining game popula
tion throughout the reservation.
ELK SEASON
BULL SEASON: Novem
ber 1 through November 30
BAG LIMIT:
One (1) Antlcred elk per family
ANTLERLESS ELK SEA
SON: November 18 through 30
BAG LIMIT:
One (1) Antlerless elk per family,
100 TAGS AVAILABLE. A hunter
must exchange (hisher) unused
bull tag to receive an Antlcrlcss elk
tag. The Antlcrlcss elk tags will be
issued on a first come, first serve
basis, only to hunters that have not
filled their bull elk tag and only
Antlcrlcss elk may be harvested on
these tags.
Designated Hunting: Only one
designated hunting tag will be al
lowed in possession in addition to
subsistence tag at any time. Desig
nated hunting tags will be issued only
for elders and handicapped.
JUSTIFICATION: Elk popu
lations are growing in most areas of
the Reservation. The elk herd has
reached the lower population goal
number set in the Integrated Resource
Management Plan. Reservation elk
herds are estimated at approximately
800 head. Even though the herds have
expanded gradually over the past two
decades, bull and calf ratios are at the
lowest recorded levels and below
management objectives. In order to
reduce over harvest on bulls while
meeting public subsistence needs a
limited antlerless elk harvest would
provide tribal members with addi
tional opportunity to harvest elk while
maintaining or increasing the elk
population.
CHANGES FROM 1999 REC
OMMENDATIONS: The Mutton
Mountain (Simnasho burn) will be
open to hunting this year. Designated
hunting for handicapped and elders
is allowed this year.
BEAR SEASON
SEASON:

The entire month of October.
The entire month of Novem
ber. BAG LIMIT: One (1)

cubs and sows with cubs area pro
tected. JUSTIFICATION: The reser
vation has a healthy population of
black bear and there is very little hunt
ing pressure by tribal members. One
hundred forty three (143) tags were
issued in 1999, only four bear were
reported taken.
CHANGES FROM 1999 REC
OMMENDATIONS: None

HOUSING SAFETY TIPS
Is your home a Healthy Home
for children? This checklist can help
you keep your home safer, so keep it
handy:
In the bedroom:
Install smoke alarms outside
bedrooms and on every level of the
home. For added protection, consider
installing smoke alarms in each bed
room. Test them at least once a month
and change batteries at least once a
year.
Practice fire escape routes and
identify an outside meeting place.
Place a baby to sleep on his or
her back in a crib with no pillows or
soft bedding underneath.
Use a crib that meets national
safety standards and has a snug-fitting
mattress.
Never use an electric blanket in
the bed or crib of a small child or in
fant. Keep small toys, balloons, and
small balls away from young chil
dren. Check age labels for appropri
ate toys. Make sure toy storage chests
have safety lid supports.
To prevent strangulation, use
safety tassels forminiblinds and avoid
strings on children's toys and pacifi
ers. Install carbon monoxide (CO)
alarms outside bedrooms to prevent
CO poisoning.
REQUEST FOR CONTRAC
TORS Housing is compiling a list of
local contractors for remodel work
and other maintenance work, if you
are interested please come to the
housing office and leave your name,

Road rehabilitation project begins mid September
The 2000 Road Rehabilitation
Project will get underway around
mid-September in the Seekseequa
watershed. The project will eliminate
9.3 miles of roads that are not needed
for management purposes.
The goal of this project is to
reduce road densities and the amount
of ground that has been compacted
within the watershed. Excavating
unnecessary roads and reseeding the
12.4 acres of affected ground with
grass and trees will provide many
benefits to the area.
When the affected acres are put
back into production, erosion levels
and sedimentation will be reduced,
which will improve water quality in
the Seekseequa watershed. The reha
bilitated acreage will also provide
habitat for wildlife and a potential
source of future income for the Con
federated Tribes.
The project is scheduled to be
gin September 13 and continue
through October 30, or as long as
weather permits. Contractors may be
delayed by restrictions that are in ef
fected to help prevent range and for
est fires.
If you have any questions or
comments regarding the 2000 Road
Rehabilitation Project contact Doug
Dunlap in the Forestry Department at
553-2416.
