The Game Commission is now accepting applications from those interested in entering the public drawing for one of 40 elk hunting licenses (10 antlered and 30 antlerless) to be made available for this fall's season and 10 elk licenses (two either-sex and eight antlerless) for the September 2006 hunt.

The public drawing is scheduled for September 24. The exact time and location will be announced later this year. The elk seasons are set for November 7-12 and September 18-23, 2006.

To better serve its customers, the Game Commission has enabled hunters to complete and submit applications on-line through the agency's 2005 Elk Hunt webpage.
