(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -Following more than 24 years of elk management and reintroduction efforts, five lucky hunters experienced success in the field during Wisconsin's second managed elk hunt.In addition to the five bulls harvested by state hunters, members of the Ojibwa tribes successfully filled their five-bull quota. The area where elk hunting is allowed falls within the Clam Lake elk range of Sawyer, Bayfield, Ashland and Price counties where 25 elk from Michigan were released in 1995. The hunt was initiated last year when the original population surpassed 200 animals.
Last year, nine out of the 10-bull quota were filled by state and tribal hunters in the historic first year of state-managed elk hunting in Wisconsin.
