CREATING A SEPARATE BEAR MANAGEMENT UNIT FOR THE NORTHWEST ANGLE WOULD GIVE THE DNR MORE FLEXIBILITY IN SETTING BEAR PERMIT QUOTAS FOR THE AREA AND HOPEFULLY PROVIDE MORE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITY, THE AGENCY SAID. HOWEVER, THE RED LAKE BAND OF CHIPPEWA IS OPPOSING A PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH A NEW BEAR HUNTING UNIT FOR THE ANGLE, MUCH OF WHICH IS OWNED BY THE TRIBE. THE BAND SAYS IN A LETTER THAT THE BAND’S LAND IS OFTEN NOT RESPECTED BY RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO THE ANGLE, AND THAT WOULD ONLY BE EXASPERATED BY THIS PLAN. THE RED LAKE BAND DOES NOT ALLOW BEAR HUNTING ON THEIR TRIBAL LANDS. HE ALSO CRITICIZED THE DNR FOR NOT CONSULTING WITH THE BAND, AND RATHER LEARNED OF IT BY READING AN ARTICLE IN A NEWSPAPER.
