Information has just come to light that the new Public Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark is proposing giving tribe’s access behind closed/locked gates on DNR lands where you and I are not afforded the same opportunity. It is bad enough that tribes harvest trophy bulls for supposed sustenance and do not allow WDFW to know how many were harvested to help maintain herd population objectives. Now Goldmark wants to let them behind locked gates. They will have access to more land, animals and be able to simply drive the carcass right out! What is next?




Our DNR Region Enforcement team is meeting with WDFW Enforcement this week to discuss the complications and repercussions this could have.



We contacted our Regional DNR office here in Ellensburg and confirmed everything.



It should also be noted that inside sources are saying that Goldmark is simply keeping a campaign promise to the tribes in return for their support in his election. They were some of his biggest supporters. See additional attached sheets.
