Montana Elk Proposals with Director Hank Worsech

[The Hedgehog]

Who said that? Im in a meeting and can’t listen.

not hard to see who the enemy and his lapdog is...

some good commissioner questions.

mandatory reporting and digital carcass tags! They must be reading some of the emails.

 

[Addicting]

FWP's evasive responses are hard to listen to/stomach

I’m confused listening to them.

 

[d-edward]

I appreciate and respect Commissioner Waller again bringing up mistrust between the public and how these proposals have been brought about by FWP.

 

[Wrong Burgundy]

Who is this guy again? I can't see the name tag...

Interesting to hear Tabor say that they can't just wait, that they have to make decisions.
At the same time, that doesn't mean they should just make decisions just to make them. There should be a better understanding of the decisions and different groups being heard.

Did Worsech really just say this is the first time hunters have come together with solutions rather than throwing stones? I think solutions have been discussed before.

Likewise. I don't think people support 1st and 2nd choice though. I was under the impression that most comments are strongly for 1st and only choice and split 50:50 on the "pick your district" proposal.

 

[RandanP]

Hank is doing “get the conversation going” thing again. They specifically told him not to do that.

I’m pretty sure he just said the FWP biologists don’t understand his plan as well. I bet they don’t because it is non-sense.

I hope the commissioners take a confidence vote tomorrow.

 

[Wrong Burgundy]

Holy crap...."The resource will sustain ANYTHING we throw at it"....really Hank?

 

[Carnage2011]

If they can't make a decision maybe they can stick with status quo for a year and reexamine? Or better yet wait until the Elk Plan is done...

I agree on this, but a new elk plan under Gianforte could be a disaster

 

[shoots-straight]

I agree on this, but a new elk plan under Gianforte could be a disaster

^^^^^^ This!!!!!!! Trying to wake up the masses is a slow arduous process. I'm thinking we're past the point of slowing the new EMP down now. You think it's all hands on deck now? Just wait.........

 

[Wind Gypsy]

Holy crap...."The resource will sustain ANYTHING we throw at it"....really Hank?

He said that?!

 

[Wrong Burgundy]

He said that?!

Yes, he voiced in relation to the plans and that it was asked of biologists, etc. to ensure "whatever we come up with" the "resource can handle it."

 

[The Hedgehog]

@antlerradar MAKES AN IMPACT!

 

[rogerthat]

All you BHA tools after the horn porn per Hank

 

[Wrong Burgundy]

"How do we get people to help us manage elk?" -- Hank

Wow.

 

[406dn]

All I can say is Hank gets harder to stomach the more you listen to him.

 

[SAJ-99]

Holy crap...."The resource will sustain ANYTHING we throw at it"....really Hank?

I agree with that because all of "the resource" will be on private ranches, who we have to admit have done a better job at managing the resource than FWP.

 

[huntin24/7]

All I can say is Hank gets harder to stomach the more you listen to him.

He’s truly pathetic.

"Our management is working" (we have an abundance of elk)

"when you remove the biologists from the discussion, you remove the community from the discussion"

"Just remember we are the most successful fish and wildlife management program in the nation in my opinion and our success should not be undermined to address a smaller set of problems" ..."we live and die by grassroots"

- Commissioner Byorth

A couple good points amongst others that Byorth made. Good on him for speaking up.
