Elk in West Tennessee

[Hawk]

I heard that an elk has been seen in Decatur county. Anyone know anything about this?

Sounds like someone has some fence that needs fixed

Yea I've heard the same thing. Caught on someone's trail cam over the weekend

 

[Remington700]

I have not heard that. Know where in the county it was?

 

[DayDay]

Interesting.

I'll keep an eye out and take a shot if I get a chance... if the cougar doesn't get it first.

Strange, I thought I saw a post where one was seen in Hardeman Co.

I'm a deer hunter…but if something exotic steps out I'm gonna give it a shot!

We had them on one of our places in Dickson county a couple years back. They had busted out of a fence and eventually ended up at the butcher.

I'd definitely burn a buck tag for an Elk in West Tennessee.

i recall a red stag running loose in Madison county about 7 years ago...never heard where it went.

Do I need a special tag or does my big game cover an Elk

Got hit by a car in front of the fairgrounds

Your big game covers it as long as it is outside the elk zone they're fair game. Wish I lived outside the zone sometimes lol.

Its probably from the farm in Darden.

There is a guy I went to school with in Hardin county that has red staggs. His family lives right across the river from Decatur county. They've gotten out in the past. I'm sure it's one of them again.

I believe incidental harvest of elk allows you to take one.

Yes I have one on camera!

Dude here close raises Red Stagg. One will get out every now and then. They are NOT Rosevelt (American) elk. Y'all might want to think twice before shooting someone's "livestock".
