2022 DWR Elk Hunt
Photos by Mike Roberts
Virginia’s first elk hunt within the Elk Management Zone (Buchanan, Dickenson, and Wise counties) occurred on October 7-14, 2022. The hunt coincided with the 10-year anniversary of Virginia’s elk restoration program. Six lucky hunters qualified for the opportunity to harvest a bull elk from Virginia’s restored elk population through a lottery program.
The 2022 DWR Elk hunt was made possible partially through the cooperation of generous landowners.
