When I was younger my aunt an uncle took me to a place where the state or feds had released them. They lived in white oak tn. But we went to ky to view the elk. Wasn’t far, less than an hr the best I can remember. Probably been 15-20 yr ago

We had a guy from North Carolina and 1 from Colorado that would come visit us at the camper every day. It is what it is.

Many folks worked up because non residents got picked for 35% of the bull tags. They got applications for the drawings from all 50 states, as well as some other countries.

My heart is in upland bird hunting. We are really poor in that area now. I’m not if the state could do much about that now. It is what it is.

Looks like a hole or 3 , them shoulder bones don't punch through well on elk Back in the day with slower bows and fat aluminum arrows that shoulder bone was an elk hunters worst nightmare Last edited by AntiGov; 09/26/22 12:27 AM.

BUT, If you have enough money or are a celebrity , it’s no problem getting a KY elk tag. The company I use to consult for received around 7 KY elk tags per year, if you have $7000 - $10,000 you can have one.
