All three seasons will be conducted from Saturday, Sept. 21, through Sunday, Sept. 29.

There are currently three recognized herds in northwestern Minnesota: Grygla, Kittson Central and Caribou-Vita. The Grygla area zone remains closed to state-licensed elk hunters.

In a webinar on Wednesday, June 26, join Minnesota DNR wildlife managers and researchers as they discuss the wildlife found in northern woodlands and waterways and the DNR?s work to improve wildlife habitat and hunting opportunities. The webinar will cover the latest in wildlife topics and stories from Minnesota?s north country and answer wildlife questions.
