Next Dworshak elk working group meeting set for June 20

The purpose of the Dworshak Elk Working Group is to develop proposal ideas for the 2025-26 season setting. The proposals developed by the working group will be presented to the public. The Idaho Fish and Game Commission will use this input to help set seasons into the future. 

The next working group meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 20th, 2024 starting at 6:15pm at the Clearwater Hatchery, 118 Hatchery Roe Drive, Ahsahka, ID 83520. Anyone interested is welcome to attend virtually at the following zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81667739780. 

There will not be an opportunity for public comment during the meeting. If attendees have suggestions or opinions regarding elk management in Dworshak, they are invited to contact one of the elk working group members to share their comments. Those comments will then be taken back to the larger group for consideration at future meeting. 

The following list of topics will be discussed at this meeting to support accomplishment of the working group objectives.

• Brief history of elk management in Unit 10A
• Processes and information that inform rule and regulation changes and the season setting process
• Challenges of complex regulations
• Sideboards for season setting in Dworshak zone
• Working group member reactions to the information that has been shared
