Kentucky Elk Drawing

[ThrillVille Cardinal51]

Yes.

 

Also, the Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources hosts an event at Jenny Wiley State Park each year where they invite all if the tag awardees and registered elk guides in order to help get hunters in contact with guides.

I’d probably end up kicking myself, but if I were to draw a cow tag, I’d probably take a crack at it by myself.

 

If I were to draw a bull tag, I’d get a guide no doubt.

I drew a cow tag a few years back for the second week of cow hunting. Didn't get one, but still had the hunting trip of my life. 10 out of 10 that I'd do it over again.

Looks like the drawing is happening Tuesday!

Do you know what time they post the drawing?

Do you know what time they post the drawing?

I believe it will be available this evening at 5:00. Or you can watch it live if it's not over yet.

Well looks like I donated. They did the announcement in alphabetical order by tag type so you can scroll the video to where your name would be if you won. I did not.

I ended up watching the live feed. I didn’t recognize any names but saw a bunch of cities close to me.

[ThrillVille Cardinal51]

No luck.

I believe I saw they had over 35,000 entries and drew 719 permits

My son and I went to the drawing event. It was fun and exciting but neither of us were drawn.

Happy for the 7 locals. But not happy more not drawn when there are so many from out of state.
