Message: <blockquote data-quote="snow" data-source="post: 90062" data-attributes="member: 1056">yat,our minn tribe has been netting mille lacs for culture since way before I was a seed,we get it,in 1999 that's when the supreme court ruled in favor of the 8 tribes to hunt,fish and gather for sustenance and the gloves came off,as if that's really the case here,your logic is flawed as well same spin as the natives take on a walleye taken in the summer is a dead walleye that won'y spawn in the following spring,however that walleye did spawn out in the previous spring,the natives not only kill the spawning walleyes in the spring by pillaging the spawning grounds but also the millions of what could be fry that same summer,I smell a minn native here (and not a swede)BTW,THE 1ST 5yrs of netting after 1999 the netters had reduced limits to ease into the situation we have now 50% of the allocation,not because they are good sports and they were watched closely by both tribal enforcement and our dnr unlike years after 2004 which was like a free for all,and before you bring up "they didn't reach their quota" two things come into play,1st we have video's of the folks unloading tubs and tubs of walleye around the lake w/o being counted or weighed and 2nd (the biggy) the lake was showing signs of being fished out by 2009 which brings us to 2016,no live bait,no night fishing and no catch and keep...except for the natives and YEAH I'm pissed off!This entire issue could've and should've been defused and now its to late.</blockquote>
