To my knowledge, the Makah are still intending to go out for gray
whales.  They had not taken one as of a few days ago, and the hunt has
been thwarted by this season's unusually late migration of gray whales
from the northern feeding grounds (perhaps related to it being a very
light ice year).  I don't know whether the Makah have a cut-off date,
after which they'll give up for the year.  At any rate, they still
intend to go out for gray whales; if not this season, then next.
