2022-23 Tribal Trask Managem
Thank you for your interest in applying for the opportunity to hunt Grand Ronde’s Trask Management
Tags. In accordance with the Consent Decree signed in 1986, Grand Ronde receives a limited amount of
Trask Management Unit tags to distribute to its membership. To ensure as many Tribal members have
the opportunity to hunt and that tags are distributed in a fair and consistent manner, the Tribe utilizes a
random draw and has developed application rules. Failure to follow the rules outlined below will result in
applications being denied.
To enter our random draw you must:
1. Be an enrolled Grand Ronde Tribal member.
2. Have a hunting and fishing license issued by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde.
3. Apply by the application deadline.
If an applicant fails to fill out the applications in its entirety, does not have an issued license, or files du-
plicate applications, all applications will be ineligible for the hunt or all hunts applied.
How to Apply:
There are now two options for applying, online or paper but you may
not do both. To apply online, go to https://weblink.grandronde.org/Forms/

ral Resources Department. Tribal Enrollment Cards and Hunter’s Safety Certifi-
cates (if applicable) are required at time of licensing.
