Default Ky Elk

Took this 6x6 in Kentucky on 10/14/2012.

Had to butcher him in the field and hike him out a mile in the dark and rain. Most fun hunt of my life!!!!

Yup... they are down in the southeastern part of the state. They reintroduced them back in '97 and have a lottery system in place to hunt them. I was lucky enough to finally get drawn this year after putting in for the last 7 years.

We decided to go out on our own. Everyone that we talked to told us that we could get a bull with a rifle without any problem.

They weren't kidding. We saw about 10-15 different bulls that i could have taken, and this was the biggest one of them all.

I'm sure i could have paid 1500$ to shoot a bull quicker and not have to do any of the work, and he might have been bigger, but then what fun would that be. I'd rather have a great story to share with friends than have someone have everything set up for me.

That hunt was the most fun weekend of my life!!!
