Apply For The 2012 Elk Hunt!
The TWRC passed the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency proposal that the 2012 statewide elk hunting season will be held October 15-19, 2012 with five adult permits available for antlered bulls only.
Four of the adult elk permits will again be randomly selected through a drawing conducted by the TWRA while the fifth permit was once again donated to a Non-Governmental Organization, this year the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Foundation (TWRF) is going to help raise funds for Tennessee’s elk program.
In addition, beginning this year a special permit will also be available for one lucky youth! The youth hunt will be held October 20-21, 2012. Kids 13-16 can apply for ONE (but not both) of the drawings. The youth permit will also be selected through a random drawing as well.
Applications will be available until May 31, 2012.
