Elk Management Plan Meetings
Minnesota’s elk management plan will be the focus of two upcoming
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) public meetings.
The plan will address population levels, crop depredation and hunting
season management of wild elk in northwestern Minnesota.
Meetings are scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 16, at the
Greenbush-Middle River School gymnasium, 401 Park Ave. in Greenbush, and
7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5, at DNR headquarters, 500 Lafayette Road, St.
Paul.
Elk are native to Minnesota but likely were nearly extinct from the
state in the early 20th century.
In 1935, the transport of rocky mountain elk, combined with natural
immigration from Manitoba
and possibly North Dakota, have resulted in small elk populations in
Kittson and Marshall counties.
DNR wildlife staff will present parts of the draft plan, facilitate
discussion of issues and answer questions. Comments received will help
complete the draft plan, which will be available for formal comment
before it is finalized.
Copies of the draft plan and comment forms are available online. Copies
also are available at:
DNR headquarters in St. Paul
DNR regional wildlife office, 2115 Birchmont Beach Road N., Bemidji,
218-308-2700
Thief Lake WMA, 42280 240th Ave NE, Middle River, 218-222-3747
Karlstad Area Wildlife Office, 202 Main St. N, Karlstad, 218-43
