can indians deer hunt in national forests beyond their reservations and beyond the state regs in wisconsin?

Answer 1

Yep, we sure can.

In fact, if I were into deer hunting (I'm not), I can hunt pretty much anywhere in WI and some parts of MN. It has to do with treaties.

Edit:
I find it interesting that I received a thumbs down. I've read the other answers. It is not discrimination. It's due to the Voigt decision of 1983 by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals that determined that the Ojibwe had retained rights to hunt, fish and gather wild rice on lands they ceded to the federal government in treaties signed in 1837 and 1842.

Hunters tend to have negativity towards this issue because they wrongly assume that Natives will deplete wildlife resources. We are regulated and monitered by quotas, but interestingly enough...Ojibwes have taken less fish and game than non-Indian hunters.

Ask a question and I answer. It's just too bad that there are many who don't like a factual answer.

I should mention, I can't go "anywhere" in WI. My husband did correct me on that.

Answer 2

Arkansas and Oklahoma do not grant special hunting status to Native Americans. In state hunters must meet and follow resident hunter rules. And out of state hunters must meet and follow non-resident hunter rules. Your race at birth doesn't grant privilege. The rules are in place and they do not discriminate because of a hunters race.

And federal land such as national parks do not grant special privilege to Native Americans. Federal land may have additional rules as the federal land manager sees fit but the state in which the park resides sets the rules and regulations for hunting land in that state.

As for hunting on Indian Reservation land? I would imagine the tribe would charge fees to hunt there. But unless the reservation has "private" herds and has a status similar to a "private" game reserve then the animals are under state and federal regulation.

I would imagine that most states follow the same pattern. All 50 states now recognize each others hunters education program and cards. And many states "swap" animals for genetic diversity and restocking programs. They work together.

But you should contact the Game and Fish Commission or Bureau of Land Management for the states your wondering about.
