No Elk Hunting in Wisconsin...Yet

Although greatly anticipated, the Northern Wisconsin Elk population near Clam Lake is not yet high enough to begin an elk hunt in Wisconsin. The DNR is planning to bring more elk to the state and begin a second herd near Black River Falls.

See this article from the Superior Telegram about Wisconsin's Elk population.

Hunters will have to wait at least another year before they can put a northern Wisconsin elk in their sights.

Department of Natural Resources big game ecologist Kevin Wallenfang said there will be about 175 elk in the Clam Lake area after calving season this summer; that’s short of the 200 needed before a hunt can begin.

State Park Turkey Hunting Zones

Turkey hunters take note: if you plan to hunt in one of the 16 State Parks that have allowed hunting in past years, you will need a special zone hunting permit. Other State Parks will be open to all hunters.

See this article from the Door County Advocate with more information about the Spring Turkey hunt in Wisconsin State Parks.

Turkey hunters interested in hunting in a Wisconsin state park during the 2013 Wisconsin spring turkey hunting season should note that the 16 state parks that were open to spring turkey hunting prior to 2013 are still designated as special turkey hunting zones.

“To hunt in state park turkey zones, a person must have a turkey hunting permit that is issued specifically for that zone,” said Scott Loomans, wildlife regulations specialist for the Department of Natural Resources. “The new law opening state park properties to hunting did not eliminate the established state park turkey zones that are set in current administrative codes.”
