Elk license applications open through June 11

Interested hunters have through June 11 to apply for one of 30 elk licenses offered this year by the DNR. Seasons will run from late August to mid-October.

This year’s seasons are similar to last year’s, which provided hunters with more opportunities to harvest antlerless elk.

Hunters can choose from three license options: a license for a bull elk; a license for an antlerless elk, which can be a female or a young male; or a license for either a bull or antlerless elk.

It's important that hunters review the elk season structure on the DNR website prior to entering the lottery to ensure they apply for the license they want.
