LAWTON, Okla. – Applications are now available for the City of Lawton’s 2020 elk hunt. If you are interested you will need to submit an application and have a valid Oklahoma hunting license. You can apply and submit your application anytime from now until the deadline which is 5:00pm CST on Friday, September 4th 2020 (09-04-20). The drawing for the hunts will be held on Wednesday, September 16th 2020 (09-16-20). You could be drawn for an elk hunt of a lifetime!
Elk season will run from October 8th through the 11th then again on December 10th through the 13th. If you plan on applying and are drawn for a hunt we certainly wouldn’t be opposed to accepting any elk meat you’d like to share with us. Without a doubt elk is the absolute best venison hands down. It’s been too long since I’ve had any, and I’m thinking chili and some homemade jerky would be perfect. I think the last time I had it was at the Geronimo volunteer fire department chili cook off. They had some elk chili that was amazing, I’m pretty sure it was a winner that day.
