Elk management,,,

and legislators. Good reason to keep them separate.

“What is the problem with considering taking some of those elk out of those overpopulated areas and planting them in Gardiner?” White asked the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission at its last meeting.

You mean besides the fact that the district is at objective and the law won't allow any more elk to be put there.... wish I would have thought to embarrass him with that fact at the meeting.

That and a host of other reasons.

I am sure White really meant that he only wanted to snag the bulls from the over objective units.

Rep. White has consistently voted to strip funding for FWP, against sportsmen's interests and in favor of privatizing wildlife. His comments reflect a deep lack of understanding related to wildlife management and how the agency works.

Which is especially sad since he's been on the House FWP committee for two sessions now.
