Minnesota elk hunters take eight for 10 during hunt

During the 2024 Minnesota elk-hunting season, it was an all-bull affair, as eight of 10 permit holders were successful and not a single cow was taken.

While about 4,000 prospective elk hunters applied to hunt the species in northwestern Minnesota this year, Kelsie LaSharr, the DNR’s elk coordinator, says she’s still surprised by how many in Minnesota aren’t aware of the limited once-in-a-lifetime elk licenses available.
Further, when she sees the animals harvested, LaSharr says she’s more than impressed by the quality of the animals in that part of the state. This year, eight of 10 elk permits were filled, all of them by bull elk.
