State wildlife officials invite the public to a 6 p.m. Jan. 7 meeting to examine research done on the movement of the Colockum elk herd northeast of Ellensburg, according to a news release.

In addition, the meeting at the SURC Building in Room 137 will review winter road closures to protect the elk and the forming of a recreation plan for state lands northeast of Ellensburg and near Wenatchee.

But................   there are no elk in the Colockum.

Are they contemplating a transplant with a few thousand surplus head from the burgeoning Blues herd?

I plan on being there.  I would hope we would have a contingent of Hunt Wa members and Wash. for Wildlife people there to make our presence known we are interested in this topic.
