They are just now getting ready for the very first Elk hunt in Tennessee. It is a resident only drawing for now and I don't see it ever changing. You never know here as the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency is a very politial money hungry bunch. We have the highest resident license fee in the country. I am lucky to have a lifetime Sportsman. The Elk thing is neat. They have released between 150-250 and we are getting 100 more in Tennessee.I am lucky enough to be involved in the release. The GW I ytaded out of the Knight is a close friend. We ride up on 4 wheelers and see them often. I also see them when i hunt deer in that area. We actually have seen 3 7 pointers many times. If u illegaly kill one it will cost u $35k. You can do a searh for TWRA in Tenessee and it will tell u more.
