Montana FWP Seeking Applicants For Elk Advisory Group

[Unlucky]

Make it fair

 

[antlerradar]

12 members. Hm. Big finn. Antler radar. Greenhorn. And eric albus. Plus 8 others. Be interesting.

I thought about it, but 10 meetings in that amount of time would be tough and I hate zoom meetings.
Plus it is elk, I would walk through fire to be on a mule deer advisory group.

 

[Gerald Martin]

Anyone hear any updates about this? I haven’t heard a peep from FWP.

 

[SAJ-99]

They had to run the nominees by GH and he has been busy shooting collared mountain lions.

I just got an email. I didn't make the cut. Luckily I am used to getting "unsuccessful" emails from game and fish departments across the nation. On to the next

Same for me.

243 applicants for 12 spots. Thats much better odds than most of the tags I apply for across the west

Me too.

Me too.

Well com'on you had about as much chance as a flying pig.
I'm holding out for @antlerradar (if he put in).

 

[MThuntr]

looks like they said hell no to people who would be too vocal

I'm old enough to remember a couple months ago when Hank said he would love to have Randy on the group he was creating.

Wonder who got the nod. I'm withholding judgement for now, but it may just highlight how beneficial it could be for us to lean into and promote the Montana Citizens Elk Management Coalition

 

[kingderek]

Yep, I also got a thanks but no thanks email this morning.

I'm excited to see the lineup. It will not include a member that doesn't have a direct/indirect financial interest in trophy bull elk hunting on private land. That's how this Greg/Hank team work. They will have big choice land, businesses that pocket cash from high dollar hunters, be a part of the "hunting industry", or be a part of, or associated with one way or another to one of the special interest groups like UPOM/MOGA/PERC that could give a rat's ass about public land elk, and public land hunting that has any shred of quality.

Sadly I have to agree with Greenhorn

Has this group been announced yet?

Nothing yet:

Elk Management Citizen Advisory Group | Montana FWP

As elk populations continue to be a concern across the state, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is convening a citizens advisory group to address the future of elk management. The 12-member group will be tasked with developing new and creative ideas and recommendations and helping build new...

Theoretically their first meeting is in a week.

It’ll be interesting to see the list. The advisory group is a great idea, but I’m afraid it will turn into a complete joke with those in charge of selecting the members.

That assumes they actually fill the group. I don't think that's a certainty, is it?

I think it’s filled. At least 1 HTer made it.
