Ontario elk – The Outdoors Guy

Has anyone heard news about Ontario’s first Elk hunt in over 100 years?

No, well me neither and its starting to bug me!

I know there has been tag allocation arranged for a select number of specially drawn tags, but I have yet to hear the results nor have I received any press material from the MNR on the subject.

The open season is said to be one week long running from September 19 – 25 and more information regarding the background of the elk hunt an management strategy can be found here:

I officially invite anyone with information on the elk hunt to please stop by and enlighten us with some details.

It appears as though an Ontario Elk Hunt may be on the horizon, and let’s just say with everything else going on these days, timing couldn’t have been better:
