Comment on proposed N.C. rules impacting elk

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will take public comment on 66 proposed changes to hunting, fishing and trapping regulations, including a new rule that could result in elk losing their status as a species of special concern. After hearing public comments and reviewing written comments, the Wildlife Commission will meet in March and vote whether or not to adopt the proposed rules.
