Kentucky Elk

RE: Kentucky Elk
Ive entered for about 5 years now, with no luck yet. This year the number of tags is supposed to jump from 400 to 1000 I think I remember reading. Should up the drawing odds a bit.
I hope to draw before I graduate college, which gives me 6 more years.

I got drawed the third year I put in for it. I recieved a cow tag.Hunted three days and saw a bunch. Saw more bulls than cows. You can see the pic in the huntingnet gallery.I recently talked to the fish and game and they said that there was on average 36000 people a year putting in for it. Which in the 2009 year will give you about a 2.8% chance at a tag. The chance for drawing a bull tag will be 0.69% chance. So good luck to you all.

RE: Kentucky Elk
I have no record of this so don't take it the wrong way. But I have HEARD a rumor on other hunting sites that people that work for Kentucky's Division of Wildlife get draw a lot more often than regular citizens. Once again I have no record of this; its just a RUMOR floating around.

RE: Kentucky Elk
state record is like 370, i think elk hunting has been going on for 9 years.
but started out with very low tags, like 6
there are without a doubt bigger elk, most ky elk hunter i believe just want a elk
i don't believe there are to many bulls being passed in hopes of a bigger one, but that is just an opinion

the taxidermist that i go to said that a two year old bull in ky has the same antler size if not bigger antlers than a four year old bull out west... i dont know if this is true but that is what he said
