Wish I'd have known....KY isn't that far away...can non-residents apply?

Congrats to ya for sure!!!

You bet NR can apply. Cost is $10 for everyone. If a NR is drawn they pay $300 for the tag but the success rate (all methods lumped) is about 76%. "Up to 10% of the permits can go to NR applicants". I don't think the 10% limit has ever been reached though before all the tags were gone because there are so many more Residents in the drawing. But what a cause!

Another $20 donation. Next year...

I think this is a worthwhile contribution!

I didn't get drawn this year either. Maybe next year.

Ha Ha Terry I got drawn! I figured I was just making another DNR contribution, but was one of 81 nrs out of the 11223 that applied to get drawn. I would have been happier with a bull tag, but I am happy with a cow archery tag. Now I have to find out who knows something about it, so I can make my choices for elk hunting area.

$300 is not bad for an elk tag. Gary

Rick McGowan · May 10, 2011, 04:30:00 PM

If I had applied to NM this year the tag would have been $700 so $300 and a couple thousand miles LESS for gas, looks pretty good!

TN's elk tags can be applied for until the end of May. Odds are a lot worse than KY though, only 5 tags total.

Another donation from this household too!! Hopefully next year

Slasher · May 10, 2011, 05:01:00 PM

No luck fer me or the boy... maybe next year!!

Gen273 · May 10, 2011, 07:22:00 PM

I did not get drawn, oh well maybe next year.

Didn't get drawn either!! Congrats to those lucky ones...there are some big ol bulls being brought up out of Kentucky hills.

Gary Logsdon · May 10, 2011, 08:25:00 PM

I just donated $40 to the cause for my son and my applications. A relative of mine was/is a top biologist in the KY elk restoration project, plus I have several friends who live in the elk units who could help put me on some big ones. You all know what that means, don't you?? I'll probably NEVER draw a resident tag:^(!

adeeden · May 10, 2011, 10:13:00 PM

I donated again this year as well!

Rick McGowan · May 10, 2011, 10:32:00 PM

I was trying to remember if this was the first time I applied for elk in KY or not and I honestly don't remember, I apply for so much and so rarely get drawn, I just THINK of them as donations now.
