Kentucky elk hunt on public land
It really is amazing to walk up on a reclaimed strip mine at first light and see a dozen elk grazing their way across the hillside. It's breathtaking to really think about it, almost surreal.... -

Gerber vital folding knife questions
So I got a free Gerber vital knife when I signed up for gohunt.com using fin's promo code. Here's my question for anybody who's used one. It was dull, I mean I love Gerber knives. I have 3 other fixed blade Gerber knives and they have always worked great on deer and elk and turkeys and... -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
SUCCESS! My buddy and I made a bonsai trip down over the past weekend with intentions of shooting any legal bull. We were in them immediately at sunup. Post rut- herded up group of 5 cows and about 6 bulls/spikes. Long story short we stalked 3 other bulls before noon, all in shooting range... -

Kentucky elk hunt on public land
Ya that's the one. 35th bull in 45 years. And a dandy at that. LMO has a few hunters that have tagged some really big ones too so far this week. Same forum, different thread -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
I don't know if you've seen any of the elk coming in from rifle season yet, but good night Irene they are dropping some absolutely large bulls. One of the commissioners tag holders shot his 35th bull in 45 years of elk hunting and it is gonna be well over 350 if I had to guess. The mass is... -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
Ya you really can't beat these success rates. My tag is good until January too, so hopefully I can catch up with that bull before then. I'd really like to get another crack at him. Spikes should probably be quivering in their boots though too...lol -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
Did you think they watered more down in the deep dark ravines, or more in the man made water holes on the reclaimed areas? -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
I should have known better. You are right, looking back it was really naive to think otherwise. Doesn't make it any less annoying though right? -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
Not that I'm frustrated by it or anything lol. I know tags like that are good for conservation, but dang -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
Ya we had an awesome time! I mean all except the ending, (my wife reminds me every day that we could use the meat another year). The hardest part is knowing I had my chance and blew it. Now come to find out I shouldn't have posted anything on here at all. Evidently there's "commissioners... -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
I couldn't make it back down there this weekend. We had 14 in-laws staying at our house all weekend and if I left my wife with our baby there, she'd have probably been gone when I got home too! Needless to say, I was not into conversation, when all I could think about was hunting. This is the... -

Kentucky elk hunt on public land
Friday night we rolled into camp, setup the tent, the cook tarp, the bucket shower. We were all snuggled into our bags by 1am. Feeling excited beyond belief I could not sleep. Not even a little bit. Around 2am a bull started bugling within a few hundred yards of the tent and kept me up until... -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
I'll give a full update sometime later but lets just say there are some really really large bulls in Kentucky. I had one screaming at me from 25 yards in the fog........I cow called him from probably a half mile out......then there was carbon in the air and.... -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
Well I took my first scouting trip down there Friday before labor day weekend. It took me about 6.5 hours to get to the nearest town, and I didn't get there till almost midnight. I decided to drive on out to where I was gonna hunt and sleep in my truck. Welllllllll I took the wrong county... -
Kentucky elk hunt on public land
Ya, you are right about the ticks. Permethrin only seemed to invite them to crawl on me last time I hunted deer in KY. I'll take a few ticks crawling around, over not hunting elk any day! Things are rolling forward. I had a bunch of front end work done to my truck so hopefully nothing breaks...
