Kentucky elk draw results

[chris fleming]

For you guys that have drawn, how long do you have to purchase your license and tag?

Chris, I don't think you would have to purchase any of that until right before you hunt. But you will have to put in for a limited entry area before July. This is first I have been drawn but my daughter got drawn for a rifle tag 3 years ago.

Thanks arrowbuster, I'm neck deep in Internet research right now. Probably won't be able to sleep tonight.. Gonna be long wait till October!

Check out the International Coal Group, when I pulled a tag a few years ago you just printed off a slip signed it and mailed it back and that opened up thousands of acres to hunt.  If you can get that area I can show you where the elk were.

Biathlonman, the ICG land you speak of, that's in the Hazard LEA correct?

Congrats to those who drew a tag.
I placed 10 appls for family and friends and none of us were lucky this season.
Glad all fees go to manage the herd.
Thanks to the KY F&W for the opportunity.

So the newbie is going to ask a question here. It is a dream of mine to pursue elk in the near future. I am in graduate school for another year and then may start applying for these lottery states. My question mainly is, is there a good source of information for what to do IF I pulled a tag? I have zero experience with elk, Kentucky, Colorado, etc so I wouldn't know where to begin. Any online sources or books you would recommend?

Some states have on-line "Elk Hunting Universities" developed and informed by biologist/hunters in the know. KY and CO both have these. Great places to start and end.
