I guess it would depend on what you're there to do...if you're there to have some fun by harvesting your own groceries, and don't get all puffed about what a great hunter you are, then knock yourself out...

It's kind of like fishing on the Salmon River on the Rez with the Quinaults...yeah, you can catch a lot of steelhead, yeah, you can bring home more than two...no, it does not make you some sort of steelhead fisherman to do it.

Shoot your elk, clean and butcher it yourself, get it packaged, and fill your freezer...don't take a bunch of glory shots and tell everyone the epic hunting story of how you drove out there in a 4 wheeler and used all your hunting skills to shoot a cow out of a line of animals walking between feed stations.

I wouldn't call it hunting, but I guess it's better, like Art said, than going down to the grocery store and filling the back of your truck up with beef from some packing plant in Iowa.

Fish on...
