KY Afield Outdoors: Elk hunt application deadline Apr 30 By: Lee McClellan FRANKFORT, Ky. - Elkhorn Creek in central Kentucky, the city of Elkton in Todd County and Elkhorn City in Pike County are modern day reminders of the elk that inhabited Kentucky when the pioneers arrived. The elk disappeared from the state in the decades after the Civil War. In 1997, a landmark restoration effort began that re-established an elk herd in the state's scenic southeastern region and created one of the most sought-after hunting opportunities east of the Rocky Mountains. "The herd is doing great," said Gabe Jenkins, deer and elk program coordinator with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "There is plenty of opportunity for hunters." Hunters looking for a chance at a Kentucky elk have until midnight (Eastern time) April 30 to enter this year's quota hunt drawing. Completing the online application at www.fw.ky.gov ahead of time is strongly encouraged to avoid the expected last-minute rush of applicants.
