Opportunities available to hunt elk in Minnesota
Interested hunters have through Friday, 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.

I wonder how hard it is to get on some land up there?

I applied last year, but now that I'm on a fixed income.

Its an investment.  You could live all winter off the meat.  Go for it again.

I have put in for it a few times.  Mostly private land but there is some public land too.

I think if you put in some time doing some door knocking and chatting you can get on a lot of the farmers land. At least around the Grygla area. The farmers are not big fans of the elk.

We've got a deer camp in central Pennsylvania, and the elk have gradually expanded in to our area. My brother walked up on a calf a few years ago, just up the mountain from our cabin. They graze in a big pasture on the other side of the mountain from us, and it's become quite the tourist activity to go see the elk. They do a limited hunt each fall, but it's residents only, so we can't apply.

Would be great to just see one.
