Imagine spotting majestic elk roaming the forests of Northeastern Minnesota again—a dream that’s inching closer to reality with some exciting local collaboration.
Did you know Minnesota has elk herds? The DNR wants deer hunters to be aware that they are spreading across the state and you may actually encounter one. Here's how to tell the difference.
A couple of people got a pretty nice surprise when they were driving through North Central Wisconsin. They spotted a herd of 21 elk crossing the road, and they caught it on camera.
The Minnesota DNR will grant just 30 elk licenses this year. Hunters looking to participate in a once-in-lifetime hunt need to apply by Friday, June 11.
The Minnesota DNR is now accepting applications for elk hunting licenses and due to an increase in the elk population, more antlerless hunts will be allowed.
