JACKSON, Wyo. — The National Elk Refuge elk hunt is underway until Dec. 12 with the Youth Only hunt period beginning this week from Nov. 24. through Nov. 26.
Managers have noted a number of elk on the National Elk Refuge recently and it is anticipated that hunters will have a good opportunity to harvest an elk during the hunt.
“Hunting is a refuge management tool to help reach population numbers identified in the Bison and Elk Management Plan,” says the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. “Antelope, bison, elk and whitetail deer are the only species managed through a refuge hunt program.”
