Applied for archery bull and archery cow tags. See if that brings me more luck than the rifle tags. How many others applied? “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.” ALDO LEOPOLD

Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

KY looks to be putting on a heck of hunt if you can draw a tag. Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years. It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone..... Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

I've put in every year we've had the lottery. No luck for me in the past, but dad drew a cow tag in 2010. We've been out of elk meat for a while now -- I'm ready for more! I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Pretty good odds really... I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Pretty good odds really... I wish I knew what non-resident odds are. I've been entering since the lottery began. No luck. Which is fine, residents should get first dibs. But, I'd be tickled to just get a cow permit!

That includes rifle and archery. That is a substantial increase over previous years. Kimber7man; You KNOW that 7mm-08 is ready to go....(grin) Shortactionsmoker; This might just be YOUR year. I hope so! Good luck to all 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. Doug
