Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon
(1)
Fishing by Tribal members shall be subject to all applicable state laws, except that a valid tribal license issued pursuant to this agreement may be used in lieu of a state fishing license within the following area:(2)
All fishing pursuant to this agreement shall occur only during the fishing seasons prescribed for all citizens in the geographic area described in section 4(a)1 above.(3)
All tribal fishing pursuant to this agreement shall be subject to all the rights of landowners and tenants under state trespass laws and other applicable provisions of law.(1)
The taking of salmon, steelhead, or other game fish that require, now or in the future, a state tag, stamp or similar control over and above a state fishing license.(2)
Net fishing, including gill netting, and dip netting.(3)
The use of fish, or parts thereof, for commercial purposes.(4)
The taking of fish in a geographic area other than that established pursuant to this agreement.(5)
The taking of fish in violation of any of the limitations set forth in this section 4 or of the licensing and tagging provisions as set forth in section 7 below.(a)
Cultural Hunting.(1)
The Tribe shall have the opportunity to harvest a total of 395 deer and elk (which total shall not include more than 45 elk) and 5 bear per year within the area described in section 4(a)(1) above. The parties acknowledge that the annual harvest may be less than 395 deer and elk and 5 bear and that there shall be no makeup of deer or elk or bear harvest in subsequent years. No state license shall be required for game taken pursuant to this section. Tribal hunting shall be subject to the State’s right to regulate for conservation purposes.(2)
All hunting pursuant to this agreement shall occur only during deer and elk and bear seasons prescribed by the Department for all citizens in the geographic area described in section 4(a)(1), above. If the Department prescribes a controlled deer or elk season in the described geographical area whereby participants must draw for permits, and all of the hunt will be within the geographic area described in section 4(a)(1), the Department shall provide permits to the Tribe, at the Tribe’s option, for the controlled hunt of up to 10 percent of the total controlled permits authorized for all citizens. If the section 4(a)(1) geographic area is only a percentage of a larger controlled hunt area, the Tribe shall be entitled to 10 percent of that percentage of the total permits issued. For instance, if the portion of the 4(a)(1) geographic area included in a controlled hunt is determined to be 47 percent of the total area designated for the controlled hunt, and 100 permits are available for the total hunt area, the Tribe’s allocation will be calculated on 47 percent of 100, or 47, permits. Ten percent of 47 permits would yield five (5) controlled permits allocated to the Tribe (rounding 4.7 to the nearest whole number).(3)
The Tribe shall have no right to additional deer or elk permits under the landowner preference provisions of ORS 496.146 (Additional powers of commission)(4).(4)
Permits issued to the Tribe for controlled hunts shall be valid only when used with an unused tribal tag. Thus, total harvest of deer and elk cannot exceed 395 animals, as provided for in section 5(a)(1). Weapons, antler regulations, methods, and other regulations for tribal hunting shall be the same as established by the State for all citizens.(5)
All tribal hunting pursuant to this agreement shall be subject to all of the rights of landowners and tenants under state trespass laws and other applicable provisions of law.(6)
All hunting pursuant to this section shall be in accordance with the licensing and tagging procedures set forth in section 7 below.(1)
The hunting or trapping of animals other than deer and elk and bear.(2)
The use of deer or elk or bear meat for commercial purposes.(3)
The taking of deer or elk or bear in a geographic area other than that described in section 4(a)(1), above.(4)
The taking of deer or elk or bear in excess of the number specified in this agreement.(5)
The taking of deer or elk or bear in violation of any of the limitations set forth in this section 5 or of the licensing and tagging provisions, as set forth in section 7 below.
