Re: Kentucky bulls
I'm not familiar with the genetics or where yours are originally from.
But.. I concur you have some tremendous genetics in that herd.
Do you guys have a season yet?
It is sad to think the Elk originated from the east and were pushed west and grew roots. Living in the west I can't complain but to think they roamed in large numbers back east and now are scarce is sad.

Re: Kentucky bulls
all of them are on private land, so someone will have a chance at them.

i watched a tv special on the kentucky elk, the originall herd is from yellowstone, arizona, new mexico and i believe montana, they did it right and got some of the best genetics around. they got the best and then reloacted them to kentucky to rebuild the elk herd.
plus the old coal mining opertions left behind some of the most supplemental grazing stips to be found.
look for the next world record to come from kentucky

Re: Kentucky bulls
the majority of them came from Utah, but they also came from KS, ND, OR, NM, and AZ.
This fall will be our 9th season. This year there were 1000 tags available, with a max of 10% going to nonresidents.

Re: Kentucky bulls
???? I know they had some in Eastern Ky and around the Land between the lakes area... Thought they ONLY hunted the Eastern side of the comman wealth for those BIG deer? Good to see they're doing really well. To bad they won't lettim swim the "River" so we can have some fun. Besides shootin one with a shot gun would really suck!

Re: Kentucky bulls
LNo1, as a followup I read a bit and it does appear you will have to request a "hunting unit area" and ultimately will be assigned one in the eastern part of the state. Check PDF link below...

Re: Kentucky bulls
Thank you. I need to see what this means exactly. Private land and Gov (State of KY owned) land near Green River has been mentioned. THis is all a first for me. Have you won a draw/been for KY Elk?
Nice resource BTW. THX again

Re: Kentucky bulls
the only huntable elk are in the southeast part of the state....south of I64 and east of I75. You have to apply in the spring for one of the tags....draw only.
