Reading all I can find on elk hunting and came across Kentucky as an elk hunting state. Had no idea. Looks like getting pull for a tag is a crap shoot.

I applied for a cow rifle tag for next year. Thought if I didn't score in Colorado I could fill the freezer if drawn. Got a coworker who has a cousin that leases 1800 acres for elk hunting. He says it's a certainty to bag a cow. I know many guys at work who have drawn tags. The guy who owns property across the road from me took the new state record bull last year. It green scored 408 3/8 and officially scored at 377 3/8.
We pray our sights be straight and our aim be true We pray for no pain to the game we pursue We thank you Lord for this land We thank you for the sights from our stands We pray for safety, one and all We pray we may return next fall

curious with Kentucky: is it a tag that is good for the whole elk hunt area except the special draw sections?
or is each tag only good for a management unit/county?

Been entering for years, never been drawn. Sounds like that is normal for a non-res.
