Chippewa tribe to start hunting deer at night in Wisconsin.

Some Natives want to begin off-reservation hunting of deer at night, in a large section of Northern Wisconsin. Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission authorized tribal hunters Wednesday to hunt deer at night using a light at the point of kill.

Under treaties signed in the early 1800s, the Chippewa ceded 22,400 square miles across northern Wisconsin to the government. A federal court ruling in 1991 found that the tribes have the right to harvest at least 50 percent of the quota for any animal hunted in that territory.
