Elk Draw

[johnnymowmow]

It shows I put in 18 of 23 years. Every year since 2006 but none before and I know I put in before that at least a few times. I remember being disappointed the first couple years while I was in highschool. Not sure their tracking system is accurate

It's accurate unless you used the wrong SSN prior to 2006.

It shows my deer harvest record back to 1999. In the early 2000’s before most had internet you could put in for the elk lottery when buying tags at Walmart and I think maybe first year you had to go to special places to put in. Thinking maybe those weren’t all captured.

Well lightning struck twice and I got a 2nd week Bull tag. I got the same draw in 2009 and I was able to get a nice 6 x 6 on my own. I know things have changed greatly since then so anyone who cares to share any advice on DIY or outfitters to avoid or consider please feel free to share. I am grateful to have been drawn again but would give my tag to my father or daughter in a second if they would let me!!!

Well 2009 and years around that were the Golden Era for sure. For DIY I’d start getting to know people with private land so you can scout and camp that week. Great tag. Good luck!

Congratulations to all who have gotten drawn. I personally have not been drawn but I watched the live drawing and knew about 5 or 6 people who did get drawn. Enjoy your hunts and enjoy the mountains of Southeastern Kentucky!

Your post tells alot about the type of person you are. Willing to give your tag to a family member over yourself. Thats good stuff. An i too wish this could happen. If i drew i would give my dad or my daughter my tag in a heart beat too. If you did it in 2009 on your own i would have to think you can get it done again. I hope you get one and i hope your family can share the expereince with you in some form shape or fashion. Maybe video your hunt and of course they can help you eat it. If i had any info to give you i would but i dont know jack about over there. I do think some of the senior members on here can point you in the right direction. Folks like RL Webb and several others seem to know what there talking about an im sure would be happy to help you anyway they could with info.

Thanks for the reply and advice given. I appreciate it greatly!
