CLEVELAND, OH - Yes, elk are extinct in Ohio. Elk were once native to Ohio and roamed the state in large numbers. According to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, however, due to overhunting and habitat loss, they were extirpated from the state by the mid-1800s. Unlike some other states that have successfully reintroduced elk populations, Ohio has not reintroduced elk into the wild.
