Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Kentucky Elk Draw

I got drawn in 2018 and got one. Elk herd has been hit hard with too many tags and KDFW shipping elk to other states. If you want a decent chance at a Bull you almost need to use an outfitter and they are not cheap. What really blows is that you can get drawn, but then not get an area your guide has access too. The whole process is a joke. I haven't put in since I got mine in 2018.

I didn’t apply this year for the first time in a long time. Too many health problems this year, but I hope to get back on the wagon again next year. We’ll see.

I got drawn for a cow archery tag 9 years ago. Hunted public land and had several opportunities but never could get it done with my longbow. Was in elk most every day, but anything that could go wrong went wrong.

Ask Steve Rinella! Hell he got a tag and didn’t even have to enter into the draw….

I’ll never apply in KY because I have no celeb status.

I live in Ky took 6 years to get drawn for cow Elk. There are so many people in Ky alone and out of state putting into drawing. Chance of getting drawn are slim for everyone. Don’t give up. Bow hunt are the best odds not to many put in for hunt. But I have always put in for Bull and Cow rifle. Got drawn 9 years ago. There is a small number of Bulls and Cows to be drawn. Once drawn example Bull you cannot be drawn again for 3 years. It might be longer now I don’t know
