Applying For Your Chance To Hunt The 2023 Wisconsin Elk Season
With a few clicks, Wisconsinites can purchase their elk license applications online through Go Wild. Application purchases are also available in-person at license agents across the state. Applications are $10 each and limited to one per person. The cost of an elk hunting license for the winners of the license drawing is $49. |
Application fees directly support the management and research that sustain Wisconsin’s elk herds, so all interested hunters are encouraged to apply.
The elk license drawing will occur in early June, and successful applicants will be notified shortly after. The department recommends all applicants check and update their contact information to ensure contact with successful applicants.
The department will approve the 2023 elk quota at the end of May. Consistent with past years, licenses will be issued for the Clam Lake Elk Range only.
