The Resource Management Division sets off-reservation hunting and trapping seasons/limits for enrolled band members, issues licenses and carcass tags to hunters, and registers harvested animals in accordance with our Conservation Code and the 1988 Agreement with the State of Minnesota. 

Beyond implementing and monitoring hunting and trapping activities, we also participate in a variety of annual surveys and research projects to ensure that the resources upon which the treaty-reserved rights to hunt are based are being properly managed.  Many of these activities are joint, inter-agency efforts.  Cooperators include federal, state, county, tribal natural resource departments, conservation organizations, and private individuals.
