Curious where that from they have had elk for years even have a permit hunt
In All Areas Outside of Buchanan, Dickenson, and Wise Counties:
Any elk (bull, cow, or calf) can be taken on any day of an open deer season (archery, muzzleloader, or firearms) in the county/locality in which the individual is hunting. Legal weapons for taking elk coincide with legal weapons for deer during that specific season except that elk may not be taken with a slingbow or air rifle.

Eventually folks in the coal counties next to Kentucky got the state to protect elk in those counties for a future hunt. They think that will bring in visitors and $$$. There was opposition though.
Everywhere else they can be shot
