Not all are bad people but the hunting some of them do is despicable for sure, saw a good example myself last year. A native fellow was out hunting in a area i also hunt, he had 3 young children with him and had just shot 3 moose a cow and two calves, his kids were out by the truck (it was -15 outside) and all these moose were in the bush 50-75 yards away from his truck. Anyway i had a quad in the back of my truck i stopped to see what was going on and he told me about the moose he had shot and i said wow you must have a big family to feed and he told me "no but i am sure i can find someone who wants moose" he then asked me to use my quad to help him pull the moose out. I told him not a chance in hell and drove away shaking my head.
But they must be eating healthier, if they have all that natural wild meat to feed their kids. Not the store bought crap.
I was in a hospital once and I walked passed a patient, who the day before had had her foot amputated becuase of diabete's. Her loving family drove in from the reserve with bags of cheesies and a case of coke(her first post-opt meal). All very nice people but a little sketchy on the whole casue/effect thing.
When I read that regulation in the BC Hunting Guide I commented to my hunting buddy that this regulation would only apply to licensed hunters. The Ministry was probably pressured by the northern communities to bring in this regulation for "safety" and for "conservation" purposes. We all know that these regulations only apply to licensed hunters thus making the Moose population larger for unlicensed hunters.
I really like finding moose laying off the side of the trunk road with nothing but their snout cut off, the rest left for the buzzards if they can get the hide peeled back. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
I like even more having a neighbor with a "green card" who gets more game off our land without permission than I ever have and then lies right to our face about it. Feel the love. Better yet he is white as me.
I spoke with one of the Chief from west of town here in a friendly manner about some of the hunting priveledges they have and what his thoughts on them were for long term sustainability. All he said was that is how they have done it for many generations and that's how they will continue to do it. I can't believe how short sighted they are. Our government is even worse.

Install one of those game cameras and catch the "neighbor" on your land with his hunting rifle.

Don't worry once the moose are gone,the govt will have a big enquiry as to where they went.Before that happens they stop all the non native hunting much like what is happening with the salmon.Of course by then the deer numbers will be in huge decline...

Conservation has never been part of their tradition...were talking about running heards of buffalo off the side of a cliff...pretty sure there was a bit of waste .
Government needs to get involved.....before our hunting stocks disapear. If they want to wipe out heards on their reservations that's fine but Our available hunting territories need to be managed .

Want to take a guess what happens when the Bank actually catches an employ who has been steeling?
Typically they do not pursue any legal recourse for public relation reasons. Don't want people thinking they are incompetent.
I found those who support the staus quo, typically think that the Indians are some how stewards of the land.
A good start would simply be requiring or them to have tags. Have their band council request the tags and dispense them for free. Don't have a tag, you're poaching.
Hmmmm. I've never heard a native refer to that part of the treaties. Wonder why that is.
OK, so the hunting rights are NOT set in stone. Perhaps it's time that some regulations be enacted for the good of the natives. Can't have them deplete their valued food resource.
My mother's ex-boyfriend, a "native", on the topic of hunting told me that if I go out with him I can take whatever I want. I didn't reply, just thought about it, and walked off. In actuality I was rather taken aback. He didn't even hunt.. Why does this sort of thing happen? Politics? F*$%. Hunters, oddly enough, should be the closest to the animals.. they should conserve and be intelligent about hunting them. What a piss off! Just because some European dudes stole some indian land in the times of "stealing land/colonialism", doesn't mean it was his land, it was some distant ancestors. Tough ####, now we have cities and you want to live there and suck off our tax dollars teats...? Didn't we build all this infrastructure? Didn't you want "your own land"?
Many examples of current "native" culture are disgusting.. and far from what they think their ancestral culture was.. Go make a bow and #### and I will call you a rights-having "native" Canadian. If not, follow the #&$%ing rules like the rest of us Canadians.
Also, on a similar subject, Many wild horses near Sundre, Alberta have been shot and left to rot. I beleive it is in between 10-20 animals so far. One of the most beautiful sights to see, and sadly people just want to kill them for nothing. Could be any race of poachers/A-holes, not just natives. Not a race thing, just an abomination of humanity. What is this world coming to, and why can't people change it for the better?

It would be nice if the goverment could put a set amount on how many animals the natives could take per year, even if they still let them hunt at all times per year. 1 or 2 moose per family per year, 2 moose is plenty for a year. No need for one guy to shoot 30
Would that be a first ...
The area of Northern Alberta we hunt used to be fantastic for moose. Not so anymore. Natives from a settlement north of the area have all but decimated the moose population. Have heard numerous accounts from field operators that have witnessed natives haul in a reefer trailer then proceed to kill every moose they come across in the week or so that follows. Last year I heard they took 38 moose (many were cows/calfs.) before having to haul out the trailer.This sort of thing has been going on for at least 4yrs. now. I personally have witnessed natives spotlighting moose.When confronted they said it was their right to do so. It angers me that there is no regulation of native hunting practices. I should not dignify them by using the word "hunting". They are simply abusers of a flawed system.
Doesn't it make you sick how non-chalant they are about it. If they want to hunt like that fine but take away the truck and reefer, take away the light and guns and give the buggers a pointy stick and have at `er.
I can't believe this is allowed just so a stupid politician can keep his vote/ seat. This is a travesty.
