I’m sure there are some people anxiously awaiting the outcome of this week’s monthly meetings of the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission in Little Rock and the Tennesseee Wildlife Resources Commission in Nashville.

The meetings often produce big news. But on the surface, this month’s agendas don’t seem to offer much that would interest the average outdoorsman.

Between the two meetings, scheduled for Wenesday and Thursday in each state’s capital city, the most interesting topic might be discussed by the AGFC on Thursday.

For some reason, the AGFC’s Doyle Shook will talk about a budget increase to cover statewide monitoring of Avian Influenza.

I thought maybe we’d heard the last of the dreaded “bird flu,” but I guess not.

I’ll post an update when the meetings are done.

In the meantime, check out the entire agendas for Tennessee and Arkansas.
