Some will argue that these things are all part of our evolving society and modernization, but then so is the need to regulate hunting to maintain our game populations.

I agree 100% with native hunting rights, just not the methods. I believe only traditional forms of hunting ie. no guns, vehicles, compound bows, horses, roads ect. None of these luxuries were here before the European settlers showed up. Letting people hunt all year, especially when animals are vulnerable, is unethical, poor wildlife management.
