There should be no exceptions ,none,--if I can not trap, than their should be no government trappers, home owner trapping problem animals should be strictly forbidden.If I am excluded from trapping than everybody else should be also.Period. Exactly Phil. I've been saying that forever. Look at Co. All the trappers out there have been turned into ADC trappers. While I agree the stupids that make such laws should pay....I say, let them choke on their precious critters! Pass stupid laws, pay for your actions!

I'll agree 100% with both, only problem is the individuals who pass the laws, will just pass laws that make the taxpayers, pay for it, whether your a trapper or not.

If fur trappers were actually regulating animal populations, their would be little need for adc.

You guys dont get it. Indians are sovereign Nations,they make their own laws they do not recognize laws imposed by the colonizers. They couldnt give a crap what your government allows you to do or doesnt allow you to do. They have their own government and their own laws and those laws allow them to hunt fish and trap.It is all written in treatys which are nation to nation agreements.These treatys in a lot of cases are ratified by the supreme court.They have been tested and passed the legal tests,and in fact are now case law. If you want to have the same hunting rights as the indians have-get your government to grant them to you. Everything you've said is true about Indians. What I have problem with is if they're a sovereign nation, why are they allowed to vote in our elections? I can't vote in theirs.

What I have problem with is if they're a sovereign nation, why are they allowed to vote in our elections? I can't vote in theirs. What you say is true, but since their a sovereign nation, why do they get the same benefits, as people who are say "non-native". Example: If they have a job opening on the res, they will post that native Americans get priority, over non native. If I was a non native and posted something like that I would be sued so fast my head would be spinning. I can't live or own property on the res, but they can live off the res. and own property, and still have all the benefits of a Native-American. The native americans have their own gaming laws, and their gathering permits are free, but if they want to go over the limits set by their tribes, they can go out and buy a state trapping license, to increase their catch beyond what they are allowed under their gaming laws. Somethings are not just right, whether is has been tested in the courts or not..

Spade,
You are right. A casino near our lake home once advertised that very thing: Help Wanted. Natives Preferred. Try that if you're a white person.
They can net, spear, fish walleyes in the lake with no size limitations unlimited number. They do have an annual weight limit quota which I doubt they really keep very good track of. Non-natives could take one walleye between 21-23 inches from opening day for about 3 weeks after that. Then, you could fish walleyes, but not keep any until July and August at which time you couldn't fish them at all. In September I believe you can fish them again, but not keep any until the winter season at which time you might be able to take one. That's yet to be determined I was told from what I understand.

Native Americans are the only public allowed to trap on public land in New Mexico. So your ancestry and parentage dictate if you are allowed to trap now? Sounds really racist to me, we should take another look at race based hunting and trapping issues now. But that's different!

Sounds really racist to me, we should take another look at race based hunting and trapping issues now. There was a thread on this during the legislative session. Do you use fur for religious ceremonies, practices and other religious activities? We use animals in many ways not just for a profit. Do you not see that at your view of it's racist that only natives can trap fails to see if there's a trapping issue the natives will be blamed? I don't want me and other Natives to be blamed when a non native sets an illegal set and gets a dog caught in it? Natives always get blamed even if they aren't the cause. Hunting, trapping, and fishing are a pretty religious experience for me, and I guarantee my ancient relatives all hunted, fished and trapped as much as yours.

This reminds me of a story my dad used to tell. I can't remember whether it was the 60s or 70s but there had been a big Indian uprising against the government I think in the Dakotas and a couple of them got shot. Anyhow a bunch of them came down here and hold up on tribal land down on the river. They had armed guards at all points of entry and walking the perimeter. At that time there were very few deer in this area and a lot of people had spent thier entire life not seeing one but they were making a big effort to reintroduce deer here. My dad saw his first one at the age of 17 and had been in the woods since he could walk. One of the very few places that had a decent population of deer was on the river and he said the Indians that were hold up down there killed deer and piled them in big piles like firewood out by the county road where the law and passersby could see them and then let them rot just to show everyone that they could and to thumb thier noses at the government. He said even after they calmed down and packed up and went home there were still big piles of rotting deer down there. He estimated that they probably killed and piled between 75 and 100 deer that wasted to make a point. I really believe that was the original reason there were unlimited fishing rights given to them, because they couldn't net or spear like everyone else couldn't. But, because of their race, they wanted special privileges given to them. Since the netting, spearing, etc started things have slowly backfired for the casinos. I'm told they've been struggling. The casino owners aren't smart enough to realize this fact. When they used casino money to fund their lawsuits to get these rights they claimed were given to them, it set the ball in motion on a downward spiral for the casinos. The number of fishermen has dwindled. Resorts are going broke for lack of income. Casino attendance has dropped significantly. The economy in the area has suffered as well. None of this will ever come back unless the netting and spearing is stopped. They net in the spring of the year, in the spawning beds, while the fish are spawning. Kind of comparable as the big piles of rotting deer, isn't it?

Kind of comparable as the big piles of rotting deer, isn't it? Yes it sounds similar if I remember correctly dad said they were killing the deer in spring and summer because I remember him remarking that it was hot enough that they couldn't understand why someone would want to kill a deer for meat because it would spoil in no time flat and he also said none of the deer had thier antlers on and the fawns still had spots. They were basically just killing for the pure meaness of it and I find that to be really sad for a people who sometimes claim to be in tune with nature and respecting of animals.

I kinda doubt that all the buffalo killed at the buffalo jumps were all used. You're correct. Because of the massive glut of meat they ate the tongues until their hearts delight and other delicacies. Made some jerky and took a few hides.... The rest was left to the crows and coyotes.
