Public Scoping Elk Workshops
Elk management in the state is a broad topic that generates a lot of passion – especially to those Arkansans most affected by their presence in north Arkansas. To address the issues, the Arkan
sas Game and Fish Commission will be holding public scoping workshops in several cities. The goal is to get ideas and suggestions from hunters and the public, to be incorporated with wildlife biology essentials into a new Arkansas elk management plan.
The AGFC will use an outside facilitator to help with administering the public scoping workshops. The new elk management plan will provide goals and direction pertaining to hunting seasons, regulations and overall management of the resource. The final decision on seasons and regulations will remain with AGFC commissioners.
The first round of public workshops will be held at various points around Arkansas and are open to everyone. All meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m. The dates and locations of the meetings are as follows:
