:flex: That about sums it up in a nutshell from my experience fishing the Seneca Res here for darn near 20 years now. Can't say I've ever met a better group of nature respective folks than I have on tribal lands.
While some outside the Res will scouff at the thought of having to purchase a seperate reservation lisence to play by their rules, I'm truely glad that it filters out the worms that hoard the shores of these tributary streams and creeks further downstream and offers everyone the oppertunity in the first place.
Most I find that come from outside the nation boundaries are willing to abide the set rules are die hard nature lovers in every aspect there is respecting the land fully. That's more than I can say for some local state owned and governed propperties I've been on.
Back to topic- good news is you did what felt right for that little fawns survival and that's commendable as all get out in my book, I don't care where ya live, reservation or not, or what the state governing officials have to say about it right or wrong in their eyes.
Next time just don't speed and keep it hush hush.Every encounter like that will lead to being scrutinized when it's posted on a forum like this. It's just human nature to speculate and ask "what if", but in the end you know you did all you could for that fella.
Getting back off topic again(sort of). Here NY State troopers patroll and enforce all NYS traffic laws on state highways running through any town or reservation, PERIOD.
Slow down next time brotha and keep it in your pants till ya get to where ya gotta go..:oops:
