Default RE: VA elk

hey redsoxfan, god i had trouble just writing that name, lol being a yankees fan. sorry to forget the moose info. it is by a permit draw, the apps can be downloaded from the state's website right now, i believe it is a ten dollor fee for app, one app p.p. then, new this year, if drawn it is 100 bucks for the tag, and it may be more for an out of state person. i think ten percent of the tags go to out of state people, 800? tags last year, so 80 non-residents get drawn. toughest hunt i have ever done. i tagged one on the third day this year, a 682lb. cow, with only 10 minutes left for my season( couldn't get any more time off). be prepared if drawn for a lot of work. put in on the app that you will accept a cow only permit( like mine was) if you get drawn to increase your chances. or, n.h. is supposed to have better odds for noin residents to get drawn the vt does, that's where i have to put in for this year. haven't had a lot of luck on the elk info, but i still have lots of time to figure it out. i was also invited, with a friend if he goes out to wyoming to hunt elk, have to wait and see on that also.

p.s. hey t/c fan, the reason that va wants them killed is twofold, according to their website.. 1) they said that if there were to be any reintroduction of elk into va, they want to do it themselves, and decide the who, what where, and when, and 2) they say they are worried about CWD. that's all i can find out about that.
