The Wisconsin DNR is celebrating a successful elk hunting season, marking a milestone in the state’s elk management efforts. The hunt, which wrapped up yesterday, began October 12th and was the first to include both the Northern and Central Elk Zones. DNR Wildlife Biologist, Christina Kizewski, says the expansion reflects Wisconsin’s healthy and growing elk herd. Eight hunters were randomly selected from over 25,000 applicants. All four hunters in the Central Zone harvested a bull elk within three days, while two hunters in the Northern Zone did the same. Ojibwe Tribal hunters also met their four-bull quota, including a 10-year-old mentored hunter harvesting a mature bull. Kizewski says this year’s hunt highlights the success of elk restoration in Wisconsin.
