Well, my son (Shortactionsmoker) and I have applied again for the Elk Lottery. I was drawn for a successful Cow hunt in 2010, he has applied every year since the lottery started and has never been drawn. Maybe this will be the year.
PS: Don’t feel too sorry for him. He did have a successful Elk hunt (and mule deer) in Montana a few years ago.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Good luck! I've been applying for the PA elk hunt every year, but no luck so far. I think I have 13-14 points now.

Kentucky doesn’t have a point system. You either are lucky or not.

Hey Doug, is it too late to apply? Hi Marty, hope this finds you virus free. I think you can still apply, but go on kentucky Elk hunt.com and give it a shot. And good luck! PS: Marty, I just checked. You can apply until midnight April 30th.

Kentucky doesn’t have a point system. You either are lucky or not.
The first few years were that way here, then they went to the point system. Now this past year they went to 3 separate seasons that we can get points for. Early Archery, the standard Bull/Cow season in November and a late Cow only season.

I'm going to try here in the state of Misery when they have their first. It may be a few years though. Good luck and Be Well, Rustyzipper.

I've put in for it every year since it started, and have never been drawn. My son drew an archery bull tag and I went with him on his first hunt, but we didn't see a thing. He went back a few more times, and had a shot at a spike, but passed as he was trying to get the bull that was bugling to come closer. I've had a couple of neighbors draw cow tags. As long as I think I'm able to go, I'll keep putting in..

I have only missed 4 years since KY started the Elk Draw and have never been drawn. I applied again this year, but I don't get my hopes up.

A friend does work for a home builder in NKY who has had multiple family members drawn multiple times. How does that work ?
