S moke S ignals JULY 1, 2016 21 Additional hunting tags will be available soon Tribal members will once again enjoy an additional hunting opportunity as part of the Grand Ronde Tribe’s Fish and Wildlife Management Plan In September 2014, Tribal Council and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission approved the Tribal Fish and Wildlife Manage- ment Plan. This approval delegated authority to the Tribe, regaining sov- ereignty over natural resources on the Tribal Reservation and trust lands. An administrative rule was developed as part of the approval process that provides additional hunting tags to the Tribe outside of the state-issued regular hunting tags already allocated to the membership. The new tags will be valid on the Reservation only. In 2015, 46 new tags were available to the membership for two black-tailed deer seasons and two Roosevelt elks. Seasons were selected to occur days before the state-regulated open season hunts. Four animals were harvested, including two deer and two elk. In 2016, these new hunting tags will be available again for Tribal hunt- ing seasons. There will be a limited number of tags available. Seasons will be posted on the application forms. This is a hunting opportunity for enrolled Grand Ronde Tribal members only. Applications and rules for the new tags will be posted in a future Smoke Signals publication, with an anticipated print date of Aug. 1. If drawn for the new tags, hunters will be required to pick up tag(s) in person, receive associated materials, and receive an educational tutorial course discussing new tag rules, regulations and appliance. Any hunter who has previously completed the tutorial will be exempt from this re- quirement in 2016. For questions, contact Tribal Wildlife Biologist Lindsay Belonga at 503-879-2387.
