Downloadable digital versions of off-reservation treaty harvest regulations are available at glifwc.org. These regulation summaries require minimal memory space and cellphone reception. Updated editions are due soon from the printer. “You can easily slip them in a backpack or pocket to have on hand if you need to brush up on any guidelines, especially when you’re sitting in a stand or a blind,” said Allie Carl GLIFWC’s furbearer biologist.
Since the last printing in 2016, these summaries will reflect updates to the model code and regulation changes. Throughout 2024 the biological services division, the division of intergovernmental affairs, and the public information office collaborated to review for accuracy, edit for concision, and finalize formatting on the reprint. Carl emphasized that the booklets are summaries of tribal regulations in the Ceded Territory and do not include tribal ordinances in their entirety. “It’s important to check with your tribe’s Ceded Territory rules because they may be more restrictive than what’s stated in the summary booklets,” said Carlson.
By September, registration stations and the GLIFWC Odanah office will be stocked with camping, gathering, hunting, and trapping summaries. To find the full regulatory code, please visit tinyurl.com/59njvdcy or reach out to GLIFWC staff with any questions.
