Applications available for once-in-a-lifetime Wisconsin elk hunt

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters that the application period for the 2022 elk hunt is open through May 31.

The DNR is planning the fifth elk hunt in state history this fall. Wisconsin's northern elk herd population, centered around Clam Lake, rose to 330 animals in 2021. The DNR anticipates growth in the herd again this year.

Once widespread across North America, elk were eliminated from Wisconsin in the 1880s. Thanks to the support of many partners and the backing of Wisconsinites, the herd is back. Elk hunting season is open from Oct. 15 to Nov. 13 and Dec. 8-16. Successful applicants can hunt during either period.
