Update - U.S. supreme Court case - Crow Tribe

This court case doesn't mean that there is no place to address illegal behavior, it just shifts it. By default, "major" crimes involving tribe memebers will be tried in federal courts and "minor" crimes in tribal courts pursuant to US Federal statue on the issue. Beyond the default, many states and tribes reach other accomodations, as is done in AZ and NM to name 2. My understanding is OK and the tribe are active in exactly such discussions now.
Spot on, I haven't heard anything but they've been meeting with our attorney general since the ruling. Also the court system is going to get backed up even more because I would imagine many will want there cases retried.
 
What would stop a tribal member from shooting an animal out of season on land that was determined to be part of the reservation by that court ruling?

Seems like that would get interesting if they tried to prosecute. But as you mentioned the threat of non indian casinos being allowed in the state is likely enough to prevent much from going on.
The tribes have had good relations as far as I know with the oklahoma wildlife department so I assume they would continue that by prosecuting violators. The cherokee nation is going to start buying land for their members to hunt and fish so it would seem they're not going to let people hunt anywhere on tribal land.
 
From what I have read, seen, and heard the reservation has an awful problem with crime, drugs, and poverty. Just my opinion but if it were me I would avoid this place at all cost and simply find a better place to hunt to lessen my chances of having issues.
 
Dang there's a lot of deep seated racism on this thread. Makes it hard to read honestly.

I won't derail the intent of this thread, but dang the words said about native Americans saddens me
 
I think you misinterpret my statement for racism. I would avoid taking a trip to any place if I felt there was an increased chance of potential trouble and instead go to a different place.
 
This is a bit tangential, but a good story with a bit of an update on the Herrera decision.

Whole thing is a mess.

No one should have the right to slaughter 5 big horn sheep as they leave yellowstone park. Period. How it got here obviously matters from a legal perspective - but from a conservation standpoint its disgusting.

25 big game licences in one season isnt about sustaining yourself.
