We are less than T-2 days away from the deer opener here in the 1854. Staff at the Authority wish all our treaty hunters the best of luck. Please take a spin through the following reminder DO's and DON'Ts as you get ready to take to the field...

DO

  1. Carry 1854 ID (or tribal ID) and 1854 permit/carcass tags while in the field hunting
  2. Affix deer tag to deer before processing and before being loaded into a motor vehicle
  3. Wear blaze orange/blaze pink while hunting
  4. Register deer before the 3rd working day after the season closes and before processing
  5. Be safe; know what you are shooting at and what is behind your target
  6. HAVE FUN!

DON'T

  1. Loan or give deer tags to non-band members or band members without a valid deer license or remaining carcass tags
  2. Shoot on/across/down or within the right or way of an improved roadway
  3. Shone or hunt after/before hunting hours (1/2 hour before sunrise and 1/2 hour after sunset)
  4. Hunt private property without owner's permission
  5. Forget safety rules: tell someone where you are huntint and when to expect you back; stay hydrated, and wear proper clothing
  6. Not have fun!
