Oral Presentation
This WAFWA-sponsored biennial workshop encourages papers on all current research and management issues related to management of deer and elk. You are invited to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentations. Speakers should plan for a 15 minute presentation with an additional 5 minutes for questions and answers. A laptop PC and projector will be provided for PowerPoint presentations. Please inquire about other audio-visual aids if needed. Oral presentations will begin on Tuesday, May 7 at 1:00 PM and run through Thursday May 9, at noon.
Poster Presentation
You also are invited to submit abstracts for poster presentations. Posters will be displayed from Monday afternoon or evening to Thursday at noon. Each poster should be contained within a 4-foot by 4-foot area. Contact Kelly Proffitt directly if you have additional questions about display boards or the size of your poster. Abstracts should follow the same format as for oral presentations.
