You shoulda met that calnum dude!

When you buy a license can you say that you are a distant relative of Elizabeth Warren and your high cheekbones proves that you are in fact 1/4 Cheyenne and 1/4 Chippewa, which would make you eligible as a Tribal Native American Indian?

Losttrail: I believe YOU are wrong in your contention.
I know many Big Game Hunters who are NOT "tribal members" and are as "white" as the day is long who have Hunted Antelope, Elk, Bear, Mule Deer, Moose and Whitetailed Deer on various "Indian Reservations" in Montana!
In fact I worked for 29 years with a tribal member of the "Blackfeet Indian Nation" and he now guides "non-tribal member" Hunters every year on that reservation all fall long.
Back when he and I worked together he guided part-time (a month each fall) on that reservation and every one of his clients that I saw pictures of was white.

Like usual VG is full of [bleep].

If you can read and understand what you read it’s all in the FWP regs. Doubt you can comprehend.

I don’t know how they do it in Montana but I’ve hunted the Indian reservations here and in Utah. Here I buy the various tribal hunting permit for $10 and hunt the areas open. In Utah we hired a couple of Indian guides (Ute) for $100 each per day. It’s common knowledge here that many of the reservations are NOT rich in game since conservation has been replaced in the Indian lexicon with greed. Many of the reservations, especially on the west side, are virtual wastelands devoid of game. With the advent of pickup trucks, centerfire repeating rifles and the liquor store the big game populations on our reservations are severely depleted which is why the Indians can be seen running down herds in their pickup trucks firing their AK47’s at everything that moves on open public ground.

OK, I know facts have a tendency to screw up everything but here goes..

Big Game Hunting on the Blackfoot Rez (YES)


TRIBAL LEADERS, LANDOWNERS CLASH OVER PRIVATE-LAND HUNTING LEGISLATION 2021
The House Fish, Wildlife and Parks Committee on Tuesday afternoon and evening heard testimony from about 40 supporters and opponents of House Bill 241, which would allow big game hunting on fee lands owned by non-tribal citizens within the boundaries of an Indian reservation.


House bill to change hunting regulations on tribal lands fails
Tammy McAllister, 20-year owner of the 10,000-acre Whiskey Trail Ranch in Ferry Basin that rents lodging and highlights its hiking, wildlife and photography opportunities. She said that her land was considered part of the CSKT Ferry Basin Elk Reserve and more than 600 head of elk are on the property and has spent $40,000 to put an elk fence on the property.

“One year we opened it up to tribal members to hunt,” she said, adding that they harvested 10 bulls and six cows. “But over the past two years, we backed off and only went with tribal members we knew — just for comfort.”

I thought I recognized that fireplace. I have climbed on it. . Many moons ago. As BGG says, it is on the Rez, so no bg game, unless you are sneeky. Lots of elk. Very nice cow country, crappy rez and the people to go with it.

Reminder...

June is booked solid, one week in July still open.

August on through the rest of the season pretty open..

Glacier National Park promising to be more restrictive and congested than ever due to road and bridge construction throughout the park all summer.

https://izaakwaltoninn.com/ on the southern side of GP will be closed all summer. Property changed owners and it's being remodeled.

The Whiskey Trail Ranch vacation rental could be a prime alternative for some.

I could tolerate that for a decade or two if there is no cell service. Can one harvest firewood up in the timber?
