They were released in southeastern Ky, but have migrated north and have been seen in the county that I live in(Madison) and I know of one elk that hit by a car near Lexington. The DNR is very happy with the results of the restoration. The herd is supposed to be around 4,000 now. And yes, they've been seen in Va and WV. There were 40 permits in the lottery this year. If they continue to do well, the DNR says in another ten years, the amount of tags could reach 1,000 or more. How cool is that!!!!
