Definitions 22 Introduction

This regulation is adopted pursuant to authority reserved to the Quinault Business Committee under Title 51, Section 51.03.030(g), and provides Quinault hunters with specific information important to the 2020-2021 hunting season. The general Off-Reservation Hunting regulations, included herein, provide Quinault hunt- ers with specific information regarding open hunting areas, hunter’s responsibilities, bag limits and season lengths for the 2020-21 hunting season. The Business Committee is in the process of negotiating a hunting co-management agreement with WDFW, with the intent to require all off-reservation state hunting citations issued to Quinault tribal members be referred to the Quinault Tribal Court for prosecution. Rayonier in the Copalis unit 642 and Weyerhaeuser and Green Diamond in the Wynoochee unit 648 (specifically the Satsop area) now require fee permits to hunt on their lands. Until the agreement with WDFW is completed, Quinault hunters should take notice that they will be hunting these areas at their own risk and there is no guarantee that Quinault hunters will not be prosecuted in state court. In addition to these annual regulations, the Quinault’s Title 51 (Fishing/Hunting/Gather- ing) contains requirements pertaining to: eligible hunters, permits, firearms restrictions, enforce- ment, violations and criminal offenses.

NOTE: The State of requires a Discover Pass for parking at or use of state parks and prop- erties. Tribal members lawfully exercising their treaty rights ARE NOT subject to state law. Until such time as the Quinault Nation works out an acceptable system for Quinault tribal members to access state lands without harassment, please report any violation notices or tick- ets issued for failure to have a Discover Pass to the Quinault Office of the Attorney General at 360.276.8215 ext. 1400 and QDNR Resource Protection. Quinault attorneys will assist you in resolving notices/tickets.
