Hunters looking for information to help with their big game adventure will find plenty of useful material in Elk Hunting University. The information includes how to apply for a license, where to hunt, tips for hunting elk, detailed maps, how to field dress a big game animal and much more.
“We’re providing hunters with helpful information that will make their hunts more enjoyable and productive,” said Jason Duetsch, CPW’s hunter outreach coordinator. “These articles are not just aimed at novices, even veteran hunters will benefit from them.”
By compiling information from hunters, huntmasters, biologists and wildlife officers, CPW’s Hunter Outreach Program created Elk Hunting University, a series of articles that address a wide range of details on how to hunt elk.
