Auction for Remaining Permit to Participate in Elk Hunt Is Underway Until July 25

The successful bidder will join four Tennessee residents who had their names selected in a computer drawing from almost 13,000 entries for the hunt scheduled Oct. 19-23 at the North Cumberland Wildlife Area.

 

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) donated a permit to a Non-Governmental Organization. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Foundation (TWRF) is the first recipient of the donated special take permit that was issued for the historical hunt.

 

The TWRF will award its permit to the successful high bidder through an auction on eBay. More detailed information about the elk tag eBay auction and the TWRF, can be found at www.twrf.net.

 

The participants who were drawn earlier to participate in the hunt were Craig Gardner, of Parrotsville, Charles Ray Flynn of Rockford, Ronald L. Woodard, of Oak Ridge, and Jeffrey L. Moses, of Cleveland. The four winners were announced during the June meeting of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission.

 

All proceeds from the sale of the remaining special bull elk tag will go exclusively to the elk restoration program. The TWRF is partnering with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF), Safari Club International (SCI), and the Tennessee Wildlife Federation (TWF), on the promotion of the last elk tag.
