I was lucky enough to draw a cow elk tag for Michigan. The Michigan elk season is split into 2 hunt periods (September & December). In 2021 a total of 41,701 Michigan residents applied for an elk tag and only 260 of those applicants drew tags. Approximately 80 bull tags and 180 cow tags were awarded. This was one of the most difficult and rewarding hunts I've gotten an opportunity at during this point in my life! I got the chance to meet a great group of people and see hunters live a dream they never thought possible, including myself! Welcome to the MICHIGAN ELK RUT 2021!
