Elk Hunt

[Old English]

The Elk hunt is on for this year. Do not forget to put in your applications!! Someone here could be one of the lucky 5 drawn.

I was thinking four drawn and one auctioned?

Anyone know when they are supposed to announce who gets picked on the drawing?  I know the hunt itself is supposed to be right around my birthday (third week in October) but I am curious to know when we all find out who gets chosen.

The chosen applicants will be announced during the June 17 meeting of the Tennessee Wildlife Commission at the Ellington Agriculture Center.

Thanks, VictorCharlie.  I presume they will be contacting the winners directly then, or do we all need to check somewhere after tomorrow to see if they post the lucky four hunters? (Not that a 1 in 12,000+ chance is realistically likely to happen, but you just never know.  SOMEONE is going to be drawn, at least.  Better odds than Powerball, anyway!  )

And the winners are:
