Elk Hunt Tag Applications Close May 31

Sunday, May 23rd, 2021 -- 10:06 AM

(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reminds interested Wisconsin hunters to apply for a 2021 elk tag by May 31.

Each spring, the agency accepts applications for a once-in-a-lifetime elk harvest tag for the fall hunting season. Collaborative reintroduction efforts have grown Wisconsin's elk population enough to sustain an annual hunting season since 2018, and hunters with elk tags have had a 93 percent harvest success rate.

The DNR anticipates herd growth again this year. Hunters can apply by logging on to their Go Wild account or visiting a license agent. The fee is $10 and drawing results will be available in mid-June.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
