You’re definitely not crazy!! I smell whitetail bucks in the woods. I’ve also smelled black bears but until a few years ago never knew what that smell was.

Most people fail to realize that humans are still, even without the technology, ANIMALS. We haven’t lost our natural abilities, they’ve just been unused for a bit.

Moose have a very distinct smell. Elk also leave a massive scent trail. You are not crazy and those who say you are, Must not be hunters

One hundred percent accurate

Elk are smelly fuckers

same bro out in LA like damn where th fuck the elk at lol

Definitely read up on all the laws first, it's a lot more complicated than you would expect. Good luck if you're hunting public, all kind of competition these days

Dido

I started 3 years ago and I absolutely do not regret it. It is amazing and so much fun.

Now is a good time to take a hunter safety class and then scout during the summer so you’re ready this coming season.

LOL

camera guy moved, or it probably wouldnt have bolted so soon

He pulled it out an I almost spat my breakfast across my laptop

I was looking in the comments for anyone mentioning the map drawing by something akin to a very self-confident 5 year old

I put in and got “Archery either sex” in 2019. I scouted every public hunting area in the section I got, scouted several private owned properties, talked to local landowners and hunters, all leading up to and the start of the season. Then I hunted several 4 day weekends, over the season, in addition to the 6 times I went to look for elk. Beautiful country down there (I live north of there), a lot of private but friendly people, and a lot of them were very helpful. Unfortunately, everyone around the several counties we spoke to told us the reality of the situation, and that unless you pay a “guide” $3,500 to take you onto the land where the elk are, you aren’t even going to see one. People in every area we went to, both Public Hunting Areas and private property said that money is hard to come by there, and the “guide” business pulls in a lot of money for families in those areas. The guides actually go out onto PHA’s with atv’s and literally chase and herd the elk off of those lands, and onto the properties that are owned by the strip mining companies. The strip mining companies own 100’s and 100’s of thousands of acres there, and they “lease” access to the “guides” who then charge you $3,000+ to ride up to some fenced in elk feeding on piles of corn, and shoot it. No stalking and hunting the animals like a guided adventure out west, just you and some fat old blowhard driving you up to some captive killing. I’ve never felt so ripped off, mislead-lied to, and disappointed in something that I personally put so much actual work, walking up and down mountains, spending time practicing with bow and arrow, buying gear, taking off work to go down there, just to find out it’s a scam. You might see a lost wandering cow or calf on some remote piece of private property next to a strip mine, but no groups or herds. Don’t waste your time, if you’re okay with spending $3,500 on a guided elk hunt, spend another grand and go out west. Sorry to be a bummer, but these are facts, and hopefully it’ll save someone the time and money. Still haven’t heard of anyone seeing elk in the “protected “ viewing areas in the last few years...

I drew a bull tag in 2020 after applying for twenty years straight. I hunted without a guide and got a nice 6 x 6 On public Land. I heard a couple more bulls bugling which were also On public land. I realize I was pretty lucky, but your statement that all the bills are behind fences is totally untrue. Also it is illegal to hunt elk over bait. I'm not saying that some guides might not be a little shady but most hunters are not going to shoot an elk over bait when it is not legal. By the way I talked with a biologist to get a recommendation on where to hunt. Also successful elk hunters in KY only use a guide approximately 50% of the time.

I've put in the last four years as a nonresident. No dice. Put in for everything, every time.

@@tonybyrne3613 I actually got drawn this year for a cow and would like some info as to if you seen many cow and where this public land is located. I live in southeastern Ky.

David congratulations on being drawn.I did not actually see any cows where I was hunting But since there were bulls around there had to be cows also.I was hunting On the C.F.Ataya WMA In area 3.Before long on your" my profile "page On the Kentucky fish and wildlife website You will receive notification that you were drawn and there will be lots of info available to help you choose which area to apply for. You will not Necessarily Receive The area that you apply for.

@ToxicityisGay I didn't move far, I'm in Central KY now. Left to go to college and stayed in the area after I graduated. Unfortunately there isn't much of a job market back home.

My wife had cancer, it was breast taking.

I'm from Oregon and I remember when I was a kid, they traded elk for turkeys as far as I remember..

I’ve got the same question. 😂

Yes, I live in Louisville but there’s an introduced population of elk in eastern Kentucky. Happened within the last 50 years or so. There’s 10 or 20,000 elk in eastern Kentucky.

@@jables1122 hmm, interesting.

I live in Kentucky and I did not know that there was elk here

Yup there is, and there is elk in WV as well. The reclaimed mines provided excellent habitat for em.

@@matttomlinson9129 But he is a out of state hunter. It is like winning the lottery drawing a bull tag in Kentucky. I was wondering if RMEF gave him a tag because he was promoting them. They are sneaky that way with their political power.

He probably bought a landowner tag. Those tags go for tens of thousands of dollars.

@@ericcecil6605 that is what I was thinking. I know guys that have shot them out of the elk zone. But it is a low success hunt. Not like seeing all the elk he saw.

Just what I'm thinking if you have a television show your Special

Then it stops with a short pause and looks at Steve. What an amazing moment

Just buy an out of zone tag and go hunt them during deer season in the buffer counties. The drawing is only for the quota hunt in the restoration zone

Out of zone tag is only $30 for residents

@@kylehennion9981 I'm not sure there's even many elk to hunt in the buffer counties. I live in Whitley which is supposedly in the "elk zone" and I've never seen a single one. I'd say most of them are over around clay county

@@Deadlyguy75 I live in hart and I drive over 2-3 weekends a month from spring to fall . I generally mark GPS points when I spot elk to try to find a pattern.

Wonder why he didn't call.

Janis was probably doing it behind the scenes if there were any calls being made

The people that know the animals best and respect them are the hunters normally seems like most anti hunters know the least. a bit like gun control.
