Hiawatha, you are right on target with your post. This would go a long way in game management and conservation, while at the same time embracing the true spirit on the indian culture. The problem again is that reservations make their own game laws, and have there own tag system.

Mjgood: An insightful post, there is simply nothing like seeing the culture and rez system first hand. Secondly, I brought my educational back ground up only because I was told I need some "education" in this subject. However, lets not be to quick to dismiss ones education. College taught me a lot about conservation that I simply would've never known by hunting. I think we can all agree that we prefer a doctor with a college degree when we go see one. I am surprised how many people seem uptight about degrees though.
