Ceremonial Hunting update
First off, I would like to congratulate our four hunters who have
harvested deer this year. They are Tracy Howerton, Kevin Ruggles,
Andrew Freeman and especially Brennon Bobb for his first deer ever.
We are off to a great start and feel our hunters are putting a lot of
effort into providing meat for the Tribe.
We will be hunting elk starting April 1 and I look forward to a good
harvest of them this year. We have more than 100 pounds of venison
available for request for cultural activities. Forms are available at
Natural Resources.
To those hunters who don’t know, there are maps of our hunting
areas available through the GIS Department that you can pull up on
your computer or phone.
Anyone with questions, please feel free to call Marline Groshong at
503-474-7000. Thank you. n
