May Program:  Nathan Pamplin (WDFW) who is an expert on tribal issues will speak to us about tribal interaction, court cases and other tribal issues.

 

June Program:  This program will be on “Eyes In The Woods”.  This will be a 1 ½ hour long program training us on how to better collect evidence on law violating situations.  A detective it does not make us --- just evidence collectors, should the case go to court.

This meeting is free and will be opened to the public.  So bring your wife, neighbor or friends to the training.  This meeting date and time will be listed in the new hunting pamphlet coming out soon as well.

 

Thank You:  A special thanks to Jeff Tayer (Region 3 Director) on his topic of tribal hunting in the Colockum and the Colockum elk herd in general.
