CPW hosts herd management meeting
MEEKER, Colo. - Colorado Parks and Wildlife is inviting the public to discuss elk management options for Game Management Units 1, 2 and 201, recognized as prime hunting areas in northwest Colorado. The units, also identified as Data Analysis Unit E-1, are managed to produce high-quality elk and require many points to draw a license.
The presentation will take place Thursday, July 12, 6 p.m., in the Lodore Hall at the Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge.
Wildlife officials will use the public's input gathered at the meeting to establish population objectives and set the male-female ratio for this herd.
"Because of the high-quality hunting in these units and their importance to our local economy, landowners, sportsmen, outfitters, business owners, and anyone with a vested interest in this big game population should attend and offer their input," said Bill de Vergie, Area Wildlife Manager.
The benefits and drawbacks of various management alternatives will be discussed, including a status quo option. The public will have an opportunity to indicate their preference through a survey provided at the meeting.
"We always merge the public's input with landowner needs and our research and data to make management decisions the public can support," said de Vergie.
Lodore Hall is located in Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge - Take Highway 318, turn south at approximately mile marker 10.
