Hello everyone! I'd like to announce that the Elk Management group has launched their website. Check it out! The Upper Snoqualmie Valley Elk Management Group is pleased to announce its website at snoqualmievalleyelk .org.On the EMG website you can learn all about the the EMG and what's going on. And for a comprehensive view of the organization itself, see About the EMG.The website also contains documents and links to other websites with both current and historical information about elk in the region.If you've recently joined the group or want help recalling what happened at earlier meetings, you can find meeting minutes in the Files section.We'll be adding and updating some topics, so return often to stay up-to-date. For example, we will soon add or update: * Mission statement * Guiding document * Frequently asked questions We intend to keep the site up-to-date with the latest decisions of the group and information about upcoming meetings and activities. The website provides links to RSS feeds for news articles and the EMG calendar at the bottom of each page.The EMG mailing list is a one-way email announcement system that allows us to send out formatted email messages quickly and easily. It is not a community email discussion board, so it's not a way to communicate with other people on the EMG mailing list.This system supports privacy because each message is addressed only to the intended recipient.Refer your friends to http://snoqualmieva lleyelk.org/ maillist/ to subscribe.Best wishes,Kalli WillsonChairpersonPublic Awareness, Outreach and Education CommitteeElk_edu@snoqualmiev alleyelk. org
At the October meeting the general membership of the EMG approved a recommendation from the elk management committee that would publicize a method of elk population reduction provided by Washington law.In areas where local law permits, controlled public hunts can be used to effectively reduce elk populations. Permissible weapons may need to be restricted to perhaps shotguns or bow and arrow. In some instances it may be desirable, or even necessary, to require the hunters to take local orientation courses and/or pass safety and proficiency tests before they are allowed to participate in the hunt. Bow hunting has become the most popular public hunting method in urban elk management.
Truthfully I do not want to shoot the elk that live in the valley between North Bend and Snoqualmie. Hopefully they will establish a muzzeloader permit for those that want to. I'm worried that someone will shoot one and it will run and die in someone's rose garden. Then it would be on the news for a week with pictures of an arrow sticking out of the elk.
