Hunting Season Hunting season is now year-round on the Colville Reservation. However, because of the extreme temperature differences during the year, this poses a safety issue for handling of deer after it is killed.

E Essential Steps After Catching Fish • Kill, bleed, and gut fish as quickly as possible after landing. S • Cut the throat or gills and let the fish bleed into the water. • “Gutting” the fish involves cleaning out its body P cavity and removing blood, bacteria, and other material in the digestive tract. If you can’t gut the E fish immediately, at least bleed it and chill it until you gut it later. • CHILL the fish with plenty of ice. Spoilage L begins as soon as the fish dies and icing the fish is essential to prevent food poisoning. Be sure to surround the fish with ice.
