I've been applying for an elk permit in ND for a very long time- maybe twenty years with no luck. Until today. I just got an email telling me I was successful! Here in ND it is a once in a lifetime draw.

Very excited about this.

Good for you.......I hope you have a great hunt.

Congratulations!! Good luck.

Excellent...hope you are able to make the best of this special opportunity

This is awesome!!! Best of luck my friend!

Great news!! Good luck and shoot straight!  

I hope your hunt turns out to be as good as you've dreamt it.

Good for you!      

Happy for you Gary!

Elk are found in pretty specific areas of ND.  There are good numbers in the far western part of ND, around Teddy Roosevelt National Park.

Another zone for elk is in the Northeastern part of the state. I will be hunting around the Pembina Gorge area.

The dilemma for people hunting the Gorge area is it is nearly all private land. Fortunately I have a couple of connections that I am hoping will work out.

This year there were 389 available elk licenses in the lottery and I think some of those are gratis permits for landowners.

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.
