TN Elk Hunt On Ebay

The final permit for Tennessee’s third managed elk hunt will go to the successful bidder in an eBay auction starting Thursday through July 23.

Proceeds from the auction benefit the state’s elk restoration program.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency donated a permit to a non-governmental organization to join four others picked in a computer drawing.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Foundation received this year’s donated special take permit.

The successful bidder for the foundation permit will take part in the hunt along with Richard R. Rutherford of Walland, Terrell S. Holt of Columbia, John Mark Alston of Knoxville and Jody A. Moore of Loudon.

The 2011 hunt is set Oct. 17 through Oct. 21 at the North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area in East Tennessee.
