US EditionMinnesota DNR to offer 4 elk tags for 2025 hunting season
- On June 10, 2025, state officials announced that only four elk permits will be issued this year for the Caribou-Vita region in northeast Kittson County.
- This reduction from ten licenses in 2024 results from a lower elk count during the 2025 aerial survey and recent population trends.
- The 2025 survey found no elk on the Minnesota side of Caribou-Vita, with all observed in Manitoba, while overall elk numbers dropped from 227 in 2023 to less this year.
- Applications for the four licenses close July 3, and if participation matches last year’s 4,307 applicants, the odds to draw a tag would be about 1 in 1,077, stated elk coordinator Kelsie LaSharr.
- The DNR restricts tag availability this year, excluding the 10-year application history pool and agricultural landowners within elk range, to support population sustainability.
