Congrats! I'm in Virginia but only a few miles from the KY state line. VA is stocking them now also but we have a few killed around here every year. I was with a friend when he shot one with a 50 cal ML. I watched thru binos and swore he missed as it just flinched. It walked about 10 steps and piled up! Massive animal but tastes like sweet beef. Great eating! Good luck!
