State, park service OK plan to thin elk

State officials have reached an agreement with the National Park Service that will allow volunteers to kill and keep some of the meat from an overpopulated elk herd at North Dakota's Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Sen. Byron Dorgan and Gov. John Hoeven announced the agreement today. It would end a lengthy dispute over how to deal with the bloated elk herd.

Officials say about 900 elk are in the park's south unit. The park considers a "sustainable" level to be no more than 400, and has been working about five years on a plan for achieving that.
