    Are hunter numbers down?

    This is what I'm dealing with where I live in Kentucky! What was once easy access to small and large farms is now gone. Outfitters have came in and offered outrageous prices to lease land. Also wealthy out of staters have leased what's left. The farmers who also hunt only want large antlered...

    Beyond a dream, what's your ultimate hunt?

    Don't know why but I've always dreamed of hunting any species in Yellowstone or Grand tetons! Maybe because I was a history major in college and the stories I read of mountain men and officers in U.S. army hunting that untouched land just pulled at me. Of course I realize I was born way too late...

    Be honest about your Wyoming elk app!

    Regular for me, swinging for the fences on 3 points. No way I could afford that special price and probably never will. If regular price goes up then I will just have to bail out. Some dreams are meant to be just that.

    goHunt updating draw odds!

    I've contemplated using go hunt or top rut but haven't so far. I kinda find it fun trying to figure out the draw odds using my own research but that hasn't paid off as of yet. My question is, is it really worth the extra money if they are giving you the same information they are giving everyone...

    Louisiana Man

    Welcome from Kentucky! Was just in natchitoches during Christmas. Y'all in Louisiana sure know how to cook. Can't wait to get back down there maybe this time I can squeeze in a gator hunt!

    Quitters

    I guess I'm a quitter too! I quit applying for elk tags in my home state of Kentucky 3 years ago. Just got tired of never being drawn but watching the same TV hunters get tags year after year really pissed me off. Really wished I had learned about opportunities in the western states before age...

    No not at all, if the right side would have matched the left he would have scored 146' but he scored 135'. G2 on left side was 12'

    Deer - lets see em

    Private land whitetail here in Kentucky but might as well been public with 14 people on 98 acres. Grateful to the landowner who gave me permission but he also gives it to many more. It was hard finding a spot with no hunters but most of them chose fields while I chose to hunt a pinch point in...

    The Kentucky Elk EXPANSION - A RMEF Film

    Thanks for your report, us residents have been screaming this for the last several years. But it seems to always fall on deaf ears. Just curious but how many elk were seen during your hunt? We're they mostly on private? Thanks

    Wondering about Taxidermist past Date

    It took me several years to find a taxidermist I like and communicates well. He does all of it out of a shop behind his house. He's always been straight forward and as a hunter himself he's not always available and I work around it. His time frame is never consistent because he's gotta a life...

    Loyalty Kentucky elk draw 2023

    All these comments are exactly what I've been saying for years. Just solidifies my decision to stop wasting money on KY elk. I stopped applying 3 years ago, after 12 yrs straight of not getting drawn and watching the same rich people and tv personalities go year after year. I've heard from...

    Couple’s getaway ideas

    Ever thought about the Smokey mountains? Gatlinburg and pigeon forge has a ton to offer from shopping to really nice restaurants. Plus you can drive scenic loops and see wildlife. Horseback riding through the Smokey's looking at black bears always works for brownie points from my wife! Plus a...

    50 years in Colorado- Relocated to Kentucky not a joke for real

    I was just there this past Saturday for the rodeo. I live about 45 minutes west of bowling green. Between BG and land between the lakes.

    50 years in Colorado- Relocated to Kentucky not a joke for real

    Lifelong Kentucky resident here. Welcome, it's a great place to live and raise a family. As for elk hunting I applied for 15 years straight and never drew, so I quit applying and started accumulating points out west. A guy I know did draw a tag couple years ago and had a horrible experience. The...

    What do you want to be when you grow up?

    Gotta start off with the fact that I like the career path I chose. Descent money but better benefits. With 7 weeks of vacation time a year for plenty of hunting trips I can't complain. But If I had to do it all over again I would have definitely pursued an acting career after high school. Always...

    State of the Union

    From what I'm reading I'm glad I missed the state of delusional address. Appears it went the way I thought it would. Lot's of griping, whining, finger pointing and lie's! Go figure. #Randyforpresident!

    Where do you draw the line on ethical shooting at animals?

    Sorry but 9 times is pretty excessive. I would have thrown the towel in well before 9 shots and been pretty mad at myself. I hope he reloads his own ammo cause that was an expensive way to sight in your gun!
