REGINA – Saskatchewan’s government says it’s allowing a short-term hunt for antlerless elk in the southern half of the province.
Environment Minister Travis Keisig says the hunt will help address concerns around the animals damaging farmers’ crops.
He says for the program to be successful, landowners are encouraged to open their gates to hunters.
Hunting will be allowed from Nov. 20 to 27, and licences can be purchased for $30 starting Nov. 3.

The province says it’s not limiting the number of licences but hunters will be required to only hunt in one wildlife management zone.
Anterless elk are females or any young males that do not have visible antlers protruding from their hairline.
