Elk Hunting in VA
I am moving to VA and I found out that there is elk in VA. Does any one know any thing about how to go about hunting them? The VA dnr page is less than helpful with anything regarding elk.

I think it may be very convenient. You can easily compare prices in different countries and find your dream hunting. Your opinion is highly needed!

I lived in Va and I would almost bet that its a draw for the tag to get a elk. I know they transplanted to Va a little while ago. What part of Va did you move too?seth baker
Alexandria/Ft Behavior I looked all over the VA dnr page and couldn't find any thing about how to kill one.douglas bobbitt
i live in chilhowie va they turnd a bunch out in dickerson county as far as the book reads if they come out of that county u can use your deer tag on them. hope thy move to our side of the mountian love to take one.if u hear any diferent i would like to know.seth baker
Ok sounds goodZack Doyle
They transplanted them here in PA, and it's a very limited draw. They only gave out 19 bull tags and 46 cow tags this year. Not very good odds of drawing one either when hundreds of thousands of people put in. I would have to assume VA is the same way.seth baker
I can't even find a way to put in for it. my first hunt as a kid was on elk in AZ so I will find a way to put inTim Maxim
What Douglas said is true, If they cross the line you just use your regular ol deer tag. I have spent alot of time in the Blue ridge mountains and I haven't ever seen or heard one. But some people say if you stick to the south part of the state somewhere down around the Tennessee border the slight chance is there.Zack Doyle
I found the information you were looking for. VA has no elk season currently. 75 elk were released, and when the numbers are sufficient, a season will begin. Everything that has been said about using a deer tag on either sex is true. Closed to hunting in particular counties where they were released. If they wander, free game, but must be checked in.Ryan Kulinski
Not sure but if I remember right they let some go in Wisconsin at one time too. I remember that some lady had shot one and she said she thought it was a white tail LOL but this has been years now.Ramon Navarro
If you want Elk in Virginia you'll have to go to south west Virginia. Right now they are trying to grow the herd so some areas are off limits to hunting. But if you catch one coming in form KY its free game or outside the protected areas. Not sure exactly where they are at. You can hunt at George Washington national Forest but check their website first.seth baker
Ok thanks for the info
