July 31 is deadline to apply for KY elk hunt

In 1997, Kentucky super-sized its big game opportunities with the introduction of free-ranging elk in the eastern end of the state. Kentuckys elk program has since been a smashing success among hunters seeking their own trophy of a lifetime.

Records have fallen nearly every year since elk hunting begin in 2001, thanks to an aging herd and restrictions on the number of animals taken. Because Kentuckys elk herd continues to grow at a healthy rate its already the largest elk herd found east of the Mississippi River the hunter success rate has exceeded 90 percent every year.



Hunters have enjoyed outstanding success because only light hunting pressure has been exerted on the herd. Many hunters also find that most of the equipment used for deer hunting also works for elk.

It only costs $10 to apply for a Kentucky elk hunt the hunt of a lifetime. The deadline is July 31, 2007.
