Kentucky outfitters, elk permits and preserves
KDFWR keeps no list of hunting guides or shooting preserves, so the 7 businesses here are Yellow Pages guide service and preserve listings, in Barren County, Calloway County, Monroe County, Taylor County, Trigg County and Webster County. Check what a guide holds before paying a deposit.
Elk inside the 16-county zone are hunted only with a drawn permit; landowners with 100+ acres in the elk zone who allow quota hunters access earn an either-sex elk permit after 10 elk are taken on their land.
A shooting preserve hunting license costs $5.29, is sold online only and is good only at the preserve it names.
