Wow, 400 tags..........what is the KY Elk herd population , to issue 400 tags ????
And I just wondered.....here where i live in SE Missouri , we don't have a ton of deer, mostly clear cut delta cotton land, no woods, no trees.....my question is, I know what a car looks like, when you hit a 200 pound buck , ( unfortunately ) , but what in the heck would it look like if you hit a 1200 pound Elk ???And has KY had that "issue"...I know elk are transplants there....and I was curious.. I would imagine there are alot of folks, that have no idea , Kentucky has an elk herd.

WOW! that's a lot of elves! No wonder they issued so many tags, those guys usually move on after Christmas... but a permanent population like that could put a real strain on the local ecosystem.  ;D
