Hunting Elk In Eastern State

Show Notes

On this episode of the Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Jacob Coons all about eastern elk hunting including price, harvest statistics, draw odds and everything to expect when hunting a reintroduced species.

Jacob shares stories of last year's late season cow elk hunt in Kentucky and this year's bull elk hunt in Pennsylvania. “Hunting elk east of the Mississippi is unique, interesting and quite the adventure! A lot of hunters don’t put in for these draws.” Jacob shares his insights and helps knock down some of the perceived barriers for those that have never put in for eastern elk tags. Jacob enjoys using his history in education and love for analytics to create online 101 level courses for those interested in learning more about hunting the east. Jacob has created a KY elk hunt planner and a PA elk hunt planner that will be available in May.
