Minnesota Elk

[UP NORTH]

Well I was lucky enough to draw a MN cow elk tag this year. Pretty excited for the season to roll around. Just wanted to see if any other MN roksliders were lucky this year?

You drew!!?! Wow, congrats! I haven’t been notified so I’ll take that as another donation. Couldn’t believe almost 5000 people applied, felt much better about my odds when it was closer to 2500 haha

I have a unit 20 tag. I haven't decided where to hunt quite yet. I have a friend that lives up there so he's going to help out. I'm going to try to make some landowner contacts and see what happens with those.

Missouri had 19000 applicants for 5 tags!

I have family (in-laws) in that zone with a bunch of land I will ask them about any elk activity. I will be in touch via PM with any ideas for you.

Congrats again!

Yikes!

My odds were similar as I applied for a season/zone that only had 2 tags

It was the first season. I think there will be less next year when the buzz wears off but still terrible odds. There’s only like 150 elk, the tags are bull, and there is a refuge area that is off limits so I could see a scenario where nobody even harvests one.

Where did you find that 5000 people applied? I've been applying for years with no success.

DNR website. I believe the actual number was 4880, but check the elk tab on the website and you will see. A huge increase from last year. This was year 15 for me, part of me thinks applying for the cow tags is the way to go instead of holding out for a long shot at a bull. I’ll probably play the bull game another 10 years or so before trying my luck with a cow or any sex

Congrats on the tag! It's on my list to do but forgot to apply for a tag this year. Good luck on the hunt!
