Unless it has changed West Virginia has the same rule for Elk, for some reason, they did not want them over there.

This is an excerpt from the Kentucky regs.
ELK HUNTING OUTSIDE THE ELK ZONE
"Elk may be taken from any county outside the zone by hunters who possess an annual Kentucky hunting license and an Out-of-Zone Elk Permit. These hunters must follow deer season and equipment regulations, but are not required to possess a Statewide Deer Permit."

5 does and a buck mysteriously escaped from a transport about 5 years ago in north Georgia and only two were accounted for killed. Nature is a wonderful thing.

The young bull in the op didn’t make it. He got hit on I-26 in Hendersonville.

Like Dave said I remember when a truck carrying elk crashed and lost its load near town lake but its been way longer than 5 years probably 10 years. Nothing popped up when I googled it. I remember people posting pics of them in their yard. One got hit by a car and DNR wanted shot. All but 2 were accounted for at that time. All females

A hunter shot one. I believe it was in Cherokee county. DNR shot several also if I remember right. I think it was more like 12 cows that got loose. i think all were accounted for though

A big elk was hit by car on US HWY 19/129 in Marble, NC. That's getting close to the Georgia state line.
I've come in a hair of hitting a couple in the road here.

So who's gonna be the first to test the system and shoot a Ga elk?
I bet a few have already been shot. Many of the hill folks don’t tell us flat landers their business.
There’s been a bunch of them shot around here by farmers.

I see elk all the time on my way to my hunting club in Twiggs County. They are in a high fence plantation and there are several breeders of elk in the area (BUT NO ELK ROAMING AROUND FREELY).

I guess the question is, would you shoot them in a state where it is technically legal without a permit? I would have a hard time with it personally. I can't say elk steaks and jerky wouldn't win out but the possibility of eventually having a breeding population of Elk all up and down the Appalachian range would probably stop me.

Funny about the plantation off Hwy 129 in Twiggs County between Macon and Cochran.,
I was driving past it a couple weeks back and SURPRISED that I had to pull over to get a second look before they trotted off away from the metal fence. You can see them from the road.

That dang fence is hard to get your kill over and back to the truck without help.
Elk are being shot now in Ga?
