Four persons have won the right to participate in Tennessee’s first-ever managed elk hunt. The winners were announced Thursday during the June meeting of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission at the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Region II Ray Bell Building in Nashville.
The four winners, all Tennessee residents, were selected in a computer drawing from almost 13,000 entries for the elk hunt scheduled Oct. 19-23 at the North Cumberland Wildlife Area.
