1993 HUNTING & TAG INFORMATION
The FishWildlife department will be issuing 345
deer, 44 elk, and 4 bear tags to eligible tribal members for the
1993 hunting season. The following guidelines have been
adopted by the Fish & Wildlife Committee to give as many
tribal members as possible the opportunity to use their
hunting privileges.
Please remember that you must follow the state
hunting laws, seasons, and bag limits. Tags issued by the
Tribe are only valid in the Trask Management Unit (consult
your Hunting, Fishing, and Gathering Handbook for the
description). The Tribal Handbook is currently being revised.
There's been only one majorchange in thisyear's guidelines,
(the ordinance changes adopted by Tribal Council, see page
4). If you have any questions please contact Karen Lord at
1-800-422-0232.
DEER TAGS
Five deer tags will be reserved for cultural
gatherings, and the remainder (general, muzzleloader, and
bow) will be issued to individual tribal members on a first
come, first serve basis as long as the supply lasts. Tribal
members may have only one tag in their possession at all
times. The status of all deer fags must be reported within 72
hours of the end of each season, or within one working day
of a successfully filled tag in order for the hunter to be issued
any additional tags.
If you received a bow or muzzleloader deer tag, and
wish to use it in the general deer hunt, you must notify Fish
Wildlife that you want to transfer from muzzleloader or bow
to general deer.

Interested tribal members will be eligible for one elk tag per
