There are some limited hunting opportunities. I am not sure about the season. I think there is a lottery to get a tag; and the tag can only be used in a limited area.

I posted this picture here 2 years ago Gerritt, it's an elk I spotted in a field on hwy 28 just north of # 7

 

Their beautiful animals and it's good to hear their spreading out.

Yeah, the wildlife biologists hit home runs with both the Elk and the Wild Turkeys, the Fishery guys still trying to score with the Atlantics

[Beavertail]

Majestic animals, especially the bulls. Would love to hear them bugle during the rut.

[ecmilley]

yup i seen two near gooderham snowmobiling and at first thought: those are the biggest deer i've ever seen lol

i know that animal! and that field! was on my home from near wiarton,and took hw 9 across instead of going down to the 401, remember watching this guy chasing the cows around!

The French river herd is not doing as well. Lost some to trains. Both herds have lost some to unreported harvest.

 

An adjustment for some but, in the end an amazing re-introduction for the province.

Lots of elk jerky available up in Monetville last year. The boys bought 5lbs during their annual trip to the West Arm. They have a "friend".

I swear to god I came face to face with a bull at under 20 yards when I lived in old ancaster...my uncle a well known farm vet in the Niagara peninsula said a few escaped in the area and have been reproducing.

Monetville does have an Elk farm so maybe that was where they go it..... hopefully.

Regretably no. The fella selling it has, in the past, had venison, elk, moose and bear jerky available. I won't buy from him, but lots of tourists do every year.
