Baillie says the first half hour will be an open house with time to talk with wildlife biologists, conservation officers and staff.
Game and Parks biologists will make a presentation at 7:00 to discuss big game harvest results and season structure before taking questions on topics such as, depredation, permits, antlerless harvest, trophy management, and diseases.
