Ky elk draw results are in

[6feathers]

Nothing for me again this year

[Kirchbow]

I drew a cow archery tag! Now I need to select and rank areas. 3.9 million acres of elk restoration zone. Area choices are north at-large, south at-large and 3 Limited Entry Areas LEAs. Any pointers or suggested greatly  appreciated!

Mitch, hire a guide for $700. Best money ever spent. If you need a name I have a guy that lives there and is fantastic. I think he assures you a shot.

Thanks!  I'll keep that in mind.

Not me either but like Biathlonman I could use a break after last season.  Never thought it would be so difficult to shoot a cow elk when you see them almost everyday, but it was!  Tough but beautiful hunt and met a friend for life!

Did you get a shot Mark?  One of these years I hope to get drawn.

[Biathlonman]

I was fortunate enough to run into Mark on opening morning by blind dumb luck. He got awfully close to a lot of elk, but never loosed an arrow. We certainly had an adventure or three in our short time together!

I've been applying since I retired in 2007. Not drawn yet but I will apply until I can't.

No luck for me or the wife, but I did help 14 of the local Mennonites put in and 3 of them drew a tag!

[Bowwild]

3 out of 14, wow though are some odds-beat'n folks!

It would have been a tough year for me to fit the hunt in anyway...but I would have figured out a way.

I still have one more drawing (MT) to go this year.

Bowwild, as much as I'm looking forward to YOUR moose hunt, I can't imagine you having time to focus on anything else!  Lol

10 years in a row that I did not get a tag  :(

[mark land]

mamba, I never got a shot but man I sure did get close several times!  Had a elk shot out from under me by a old man with a crossbow and had 2 stalks thwarted by others, but other then that just could not get in close enough to loose an arrow at them, except the 1 opportunity I had at a calf at 20yds but was trying to get closer to the cow at 30, but it was an adventure and enjoyed it.  Terrain was very similar to what I had hunted in CO before.
Nobody can say those KY elk are dumb, especially where we hunted them at.

[Mamba]

That's awesome Mark!  Too bad there where so many other hunters.   I can't wait to draw a tag.
