Hunting season Bi ngu f K The Natural Resources Depart ment recently released information on the 2001 reservation hunting sea son. Deer season is the entire months of September and October. The bag limit is two antlered deer per family in September. The bag limit is one antlered deer per family in October. Only one tag will be issued at a time. It is neces sary to return the first tag filled out in order to receive the second. 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 populations have increased gradually over the last twn years on the reservation. The past few years have produced excel lent forage for deer and relatively , mild wintes allowing for good re cruitment. The post-season buck to doe ra- . tio (17 bucks 100 does) is slightly below the tribes' management goal; however, the proposed season should maintain the population at desired levels. The second-highest success rate on record (39 percent) was observed in the 2000 hunting season. There are no changes from the 2000 deer season recommendations. Other recommendations: No clo sure of the 22,000-acre South Mut ton Mountain fire area. Bull elk season is from Nov. 1 through Nov. 30. Bag limit is one antlered per family. Antlerless elk season is from Nov. 17 through Nov. 30. Bag limit is as follows: One antlerless elk per family, 100 tags available. A hunter must ex change hisher unused bull tag to receive an antlerless elk tag. The antlerless elk tags veill be used on a first-come, first-serve basis, only to hunters that have not filled their bull elk tag and only antlerless elk may be harvested on these tags. Designated hunting: Only one designated hunting tag will be al lowed in possession in addition to a subsistence tag at any time. Desig nated hunting tags will be issued only for the elders and handicapped. Justification: Elk populations are growing in most areas of the res ervation. The elk herd has reached the population goal number set in the Integrated Resource Manage ment Plan. Reservation elk are estimated at approximately 800 head. Even though the herds have expanded gradually over the past two decades, recruitment of calves remains low. Bull to cow ratios have improved, possibly due to the expanded antlerless hunts. There are no changes from the 2000 recommendations. Bear season is the entire months of September, October and Novem ber. Bag limit is one bear per month per family, except that cubs and sows with cubs are protected. Justification: The reservation has a healthy population of black bear and there is very little hunting pres sure by tribal members. One hun . dred forty-six (146) tags were issued in 2000, with only four bear report edly taken. There are no changes from the 2000 recommendations. Bird season is from Sept. 1 through Dec 31. Bag limit for upland birds is as follows: Grouse, 3 per day Quail, 10 per day Pheasant, closed Chuckar, 10 per day Turkey, 1 per month Migratory birds: Ducks, geese, mourning dove. Bag limits and seasons are estab lished under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Seasons and bag limits are the same as federal and state regu lations. Justification: Bird populations are most affected by annual climatic conditions and habitat Hunter pres sure is very low on the reservation. Restrictions: Hunting of birds is limited to shotguns, archery and pis tol fire shot shells.
