ELK RESTORATIONElk have been reintroduced to Kentucky, and they are protected by law.
In an effort to restore some of Kentucky’s natural biodiversity, the KDFWR began an aggressive program to return elk tothe commonwealth. Beginning in the winter of 1997-98, the department brought in the first elk to freely roam in Kentuckysince the mid-1800s. Continuing for the next nine years, the goal of the program is to establish a self-sustaining free-rangingelk herd in Eastern Kentucky.
Always we sure of your target AND beyond. Currently there is no open hunting season on elk. In Kentucky, acciden-tally shooting an elk will cost you a substantial fine (up to $5,000) and loss of hunting privileges for up to three years. Watchfor similarities and differences between elk and white-tailed deer.
Similarities and Differences
ColoringElk have a tan rump patch, black legsand black neck.Deer have legs the same color as theirbodies and a white throat patch.
AntlersElk antlers sweep back;Deer antlers curve forward.
TailsElk have a short tail;Deer have a long tail with a whiteunderside.
SizeAdult elk stand 4-5 feet at the shoulders;Adult deer stand 3-31/2 feet at theshoulders.
Elk calves and whitetail doesA 5- to 6-month-old elk will be aboutthe same size as an adult whitetail doe.
DEER FAWNS vs. ELK CALVES1. Elk usually give birth to just a single
calf. Deer often give birth to twins.
2. At birth, an elk calf weighs anywhere from 19 to 45 pounds.A whitetail deer fawn usuallyonly weighs 7 to 8 pounds at birth.
3. Both elk calves and whitetailfawns are spotted for the first fewmonths of life.

1998-99 KENTUCKY DEER HUNTING ZONES
12
For years, Kentucky trailed many statesin deer management. But now, thanksto a good quality deer managementprogram, Kentucky has big deer.During the 1992-94 reporting period,Kentucky entered more deer in Boone& Crockett per square mile than everystate and Canadian province other thanIllinois.
Three things are required toproduce quality deer: good food, propergenetics and age. Although food and
genetics arevery important
factors in producing aquality deer herd, age is the mostimportant component since it takes abuck three years to reach his prime.
In 1976, the first year for manda-tory check-in, Kentucky recorded3,476 harvested deer. Herd growthaccelerated in the 80s. A two-deer limitbegan in 1987. By 1989 the quality ofthe deer herd left much to be desired.Lots of deer were being harvested, butthey were small with small racks.
Hunters blamed malnutrition, over-population, disease or poor genetics,but the real reason was lack of age.Kentucky had lots of healthy deer withgood genetics, but they were young.The number of deer living long enoughto reach their prime was very small.Less than one-fourth of the bucks weretwo years and older, and less than sixpercent were three years old.
A survey showed that a majority ofdeer hunters wanted quality deer even ifit meant they could harvest fewer deer.Biologists determined that the qualityof the deer herd would improve if moreof the herd lived longer. Geneticallysuperior bucks would naturally out-compete their unfit companions.
In 1990 Kentucky restricted riflehunters to one buck. The followingyear, bowhunters received the samerestriction. The two-deer limit re-mained in place. Kentucky hunters maybuy a two-tag deer permit -- one tag isfor either sex deer and one is forantlerless deer only. This gives huntersfewer excuses not to take a doe. Thistagging system means a hunter can takeone buck and one doe or two does, butnot two bucks.
Almost immediate results were seen.The percentage of deer two and older roseto 35 percent in 1991 and 45 percent in1992. This was a big jump from 22percent in previous years. Since 1990the older age percent in the harvest hasstayed at about 40 percent. The percentof three-year-old deer has climbed tonearly 13. When the three-year-oldbuck percentage was at five percent,only one in every 20 had a chance ofmaking record book age. That has nowchanged to one in every eight bucks.
Kentucky now has about 10 deereach year that qualify for Boone andCrockett, with more being added to pastyears as they are discovered.
Any deer that score 155 or above inthe Boone and Crockett scoring systemor 125 and above in the Pope andYoung system may qualify forKentucky’s trophy deer list. Only legaldeer taken in Kentucky are eligible.
Hunters who think their deer mayqualify for the state trophy list, or whowould like to know Kentucky’s listingsin the Pope & Young (bow) or Boone &Crockett (bow or gun) clubs, shouldcontact the Department of Fish andWildlife Resources at 1-800-858-1549.
