Va Elk Lottery Hunt

[hunter24605]

Chances of being drawn are razor slim, but I'm throwing my name in the hat. I live within spitting distance of the area they're opening up (well, 25 miles anyway) and I've seen a few while traveling to the mines the last couple years.

Best of luck to you. It is great to know that elk are again found in historic areas.

Living next door to you in WV I'm glad you folks are getting the chance to go after elk. Hopefully it will happen one day here. The DNR say our herd is doing pretty well so maybe my son or grandsons will get to hunt them some day. Good luck on the draw. Dan.

Best of luck to you on your elk draw.
We have an elk season here in MI. I apply every year and hope to get drawn.

Good Luck buddy! I've put in for it too. Being born and raised in Virginia I never thought I'd have the opportunity hunt Elk in my home state.

Hi, thanks for this post

Every one should have a chance to see Elk. Good for the folks of Virginia! Best of luck on your draw. CL

Good for you, and best of luck.

Missouri just had an elk season last year; I see it as a positive sign that there are new states opening up. Each new season, no matter how limited, shows us a win for reintroducing the species.

Wellllll, I didn't draw my VA tag, so I guess I am headed west to Wyoming!

I read today they are also giving a few landowner permits. One of the counties is adjacent to mine.

Very neat. That should provide some opportunity.

Never thought I’d live long enough to see it. Excited about the next 20 years
