Can't believe it! A Bull Elk tags in Kentucky

[LBEdgin]

My friend text me Saturday and told me I draw a bull tags (firearm) for the first week hunt in September in Kentucky. I would have been happy with a cow tag! I know the hunting is down from what it once was but, my chances for a bigger bull are better. I have been blessed to have killed a few nice bulls in Utah and Wyoming. And realize how tough a good bull will be. But had rather come home with nothing than something smaller than my western hunts. So I went out and brought myself a powerball ticket too. Lol. Feelin blessed!

Good luck - I got this guy there in 2004 when I lived there, from what I gather the hunting is a lot different now vs then, we had unlimited access to old strip mined land and there was hardly any people hunting. Elk weren't spooked at all.

Congrats on the tag!!! I applied as I always do for non-resident. Didn't get drawn of course.

Congrats on the draw!

Thanks everyone! Yes I heard the hunting is a little tougher now than it once was. But getting to hunt your home state for something I had to travel west for is so neat. J-L that's a really nice bull.

Good luck with your tag, are you getting a guide?

You too.

Yes, I figure chances are, it's a once in a lifetime tag so I'm going to go with a guide. I have spoke to a few so far that have been recommended so when I get my zone hopefully I'll have an idea of who to go with.
