Kentucky's Elk Season.....Notes

So far, there's been 190 of 200 bulls killed which is a 95% success rate. So far, only 12 cows have been killed before the actual cow season opens. Of the 190 bulls killed, only 12 were killed with a bow. I haven't seen pictures or any kind of release from Fish and Wildlife, but there's talk of a 398" bull being killed at the Czar Coal company where I hunted in 2005.

It's Not Getting Any Better

Man, it's just not getting any better. The bucks are still not moving as far as I've seen. I've heard many people saying otherwise. If it's happening, I'm not seeing it. 80 degrees on October 22nd. This full moon isn't helping either. Watch the Cats or in the deer stand this evening? Not sure yet.

Another Rough Morning

This season has been totally rough so far with warm weather and this morning was no different. Just some does and a small forker. I hate early October's lull. We'll see what this afternoon holds sitting in the stands listening to the Big Blue hopefully winning. I'm already excited for the next few weekends though. Big bucks coming!

Not Gotten That Feeling

I'm not sure what it is aobut this deer season, but I've yet to find "that" hunting feeling. I was excited about the opening of the season because I'd seen two bucks of a lifetime in August. Maybe it's the lousy weather pattern or maybe it's that I haven't seen a shooter buck of any kind. I'm hoping all that changes tomorrow morning with the opening of youth with me and Little E in the stand. Good luck folks.

Youth Weekend Weather

Wow, the weather reports make me sad heading into youth weekend which is one of my favorite weekends of the year to hunt. Forcast in the Louisville area is 87 and sunny. Not good.

Poor Boys Outdoors

If you're in the Louisville area, don't forget to tune into the opening episode of Poor Boys Outdoors Sunday at 3:30 on WBKI 21. I believe it's channel 7 or 914 on Insight Cable.
