MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin wraps up the 2025 elk hunting season.
The 2025 season started on October 18th and wrapped up December 19th. A total of seven bull elks and five anterless elk were harvested statewide during the season. The 13 Wisconsin state-licensed hunters who participated in this year’s hunt were randomly selected from a pool of more than 26,000 applicants.
Some hunters found success during the first opportunity to hunt elk, from mid-October to mid-November, while others filled their tags in the December timeframe.
Hunters can apply for the 2026 elk hunting season starting in March.
