invalidated and the tribal member shall be subject to
state and tribal penalties.

Tribal members who would like a bear tag will need to
complete the appropriate tag application form and
submit it by the established deadline. There are 5 bear
tags available.
BOWELK
Those interested in the bow elk hunt may also submit
an application for a general elk hunt, but their name will
be withdrawn from the general elk hunt if they win a
bow tag. Thus, the bow elk tag winners will not be
eligible for a first or second season elk tag unless there
are remaining tags after the general season drawing.

Bow, first and second season hunt tag applicants may.
also apply for controldamage and pool hunts.
The number of tags available will depend on hunt
conditions within the Trask Unit. When a tag becomes
available, those on the controldamage list will be
notified in the order their name is selected at the
drawing.
