They are a very healthy population and are expected to surpass 10,000 within the next three or four years. On average the adult elk weigh 100 lbs more than the elk found elsewhere in the U.S., because food is plentiful in the winter time in Kentucky. They thrive on reclaimed surface mine land like that of Knott County. During elk hunting season in Kentucky this year there will be a lottery drawing with 400 elk tags to hunt elk. Once the herd surpasses 10,000 the lottery will allow for 1,000 people to hunt elk during the season.
