North Carolina to permit first elk hunt in 2027 after 25-year reintroduction effort
North Carolina has announced it will allow its first elk hunt in 2027, marking 25 years since the species was reintroduced to the state. Only two hunting permits will be made available, distributed through an auction and a raffle system. Revenue generated from the permits will be directed toward elk conservation efforts. State wildlife officials have determined that the elk population has grown to a sustainable level. However, some local residents remain divided on whether hunting should be permitted at this stage.
