Our non natives don't want another court battle(yet) but the storm is brewing,so far the treaty has been up held even tho excersing they're right/harvest is wrong these days using state of the state of the art equipment,,wasting or commercially selling harvested walleye/deer(illegaly) harvest rights donot include selling for profit but trible wardens look the other way in most cases,infact the only folks known to take a hit on illegal walleye sales were non natives! haha what a joke trible judge ruled the white men temped the natives to nett n buy all the walleyes they brought in,one native friend said they paid $3/lb for walleye zero for pike/muskie zero for other species like small mouth bass ,perch etc</p></blockquote><p></p>
