This was my first try at KY, so I'm sure not suprised to find "Good Luck Next Year" when I looked.  But you can bet I will be back to try again!
Congratulations to all who drew!

No luck for me, maybe next year.  I still have my fingers crossed for a Maine moose permit.

Congrats to all who got their elk tag.

I did not draw either of the archery permits.

Good luck to all who have a permit.

I got a SORRY YOU ONLY GOT A COW ARCHERY TAG! Oh maybe it said "congratulations" I just assume to see "sorry", last year I applied for 27 draws and got picked for ZERO. Seriously I could use some help on what areas to apply for, I don't have any contacts in KY anymore and I do have some elk hunting experience, so I don't think I need a guide, but would be willing to pay a trepass fee(if necessary).

Rick....I just got a call from my son's best buddies Dad saying Jacob..(age 12) got drawn for a Dec. Cow tag (rifle).  I'm in the process of trying to find some contacts for him.  If I get anything I'll let you know.  They'll prob go the guide route as not knowing the areas or what EMU to put in for.

Lowebow, thanks in advance! I always recommend guides for first time elk hunters. Most guys hunting elk for the first time don't without a guide don't do very well.

The draw may be over, but I just received 6 $25 raffle tickets in the mail from KY F&G. Don't have them here in front of me right now to see the date of raffle, but I suppose this is yet another lottery???

Special "Commission" tag that was given to I'm gonna guess "Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Foundation"....

They are given out to organizations to help raise much needed funds to be used on pre-specified projects.

My brother-in-law drew a cow tag in 2009 so I went as his "elk guide".  In 2 hunts we saw nothing but bulls, not ONE cow! I have a big KY elk shed that was picked up after the season that would score 330+ on the hoof.

Gary that sounds awesome, I can't wait to come back and complain that I saw nothing, but bulls, out west I never had shot opportunities at anything, but cows.

Rick,

Congratulations.  I'll be glad to share any info I get.  I don't have any contacts in Eastern Kentucky either, at least not in the Restoration Zone, but am sending out feelers to anyone I know that might have contacts or info.  In the mean time I'm checking the harvest results and other publicly available info to see what I can find there.

I'm not planning on using a guide either, and will probably get in a couple of scouting trips before season opens.  

Anybody else who has info, please chime in.  I need all the help I can get.

Contact me if you want to share info.

Marvin
