We have alot of native americans in my area, but on the reserve or not they still have to abide by the rules of which firearm is legal to hunt with. They just dont have to follow open season or quantity limits if I remember right. But thats here.. could very well be a different story where ever this video is made.
Completely incorrect. The Federal Government has absolutely no standing whatsoever on Tribal land (reservation land) when it comes to hunting and fishing. The Tribal leadership of each reservation sets any and all rules regarding hunting and fishing. That includes caliber restrictions as well as seasons and bag limits. The "elders" set all rules. On some reservations they do copy the state regulations because in some states they are reasonable and well suited for the game population. In no way does the Federal government have any control whatsoever in the hunting and fishing matters of the tribes.
I am pretty sure that Montana has no minimum for maximum caliber requirements for deer or elk. In fact, even crossbows are allowed to be used in rifle season
HHollow, All states allow archery equipment during firearm season. My question for you is, why is that a problem? Would you have a problem with a crossbow during bow season? As long as a weapon is used within it's reasonable range and intended use, why would it matter what season it is being used in to you? As long as it is legal and being used in an ethical manner, it is no problem whatsoever.
