We are accepting new hunters again and invite anyone interested
to please apply. Our harvest is down this year, but we can hunt until
Aug. 26. There is still time for new hunters to get out in the field and
harvest some meat for the Tribe. You get great satisfaction in giving
back and I am always available to help with anything you need. If
you’re undecided, call me and I will be happy to tell you more about
the program.
