MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has announced a successful elk hunt.
This year’s hunt closed November 12, after all four of the licensed hunters filled their harvest authorizations.
The four – from Cedarburg, Green Bay, Sparta and Mount Horeb – were selected at random from a pool of more than 21,000 resident applicants.
The annual hunt takes place in the Clam Lake elk range in northwestern Wisconsin, where the animals were first reintroduced to Wisconsin in 1995.
Further reintroductions took place in Jackson County in 2015 and 2016, and there are now approximately 515 elk in Wisconsin.
