Public invited to hear panel of stakeholders discuss state elk management Jan. 14

The event is set for Jan. 14, the final day of the Montana Outfitters and Guides Association Winter Convention, from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Delta Colonial Hotel in Helena.

It will include panelists from Montana Stockgrowers Association, Montana Farm Bureau Federation, Property Environmental Research Center, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, Montana Wildlife Federation, Montana Bowhunters Association, Montana Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, along Montana Outfitters and Guides Association, and will be moderated by Stephanie Prater and Chuck Rein, two members of the advisory group.

The format, the outfitters and guides organization said in its notice to the public, is a conversation between knowledgeable people with divergent interests in how elk should be managed rather than a debate of the issues.
