[QUOTE="Whitewolf393, post: 514730, member: 3007"] From the PDF link [url]http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/wildlife/elk/management-plan/elk-restoration-and-management-options-for-southwest-virginia.pdf:[/url] "The Elk Committee recommends that VDGIF should pursue the Active Restoration Option to establish a population of 1,200 elk in the Potential Elk Restoration Area (Buchanan, Dickenson, and Wise counties). The Elk Committee further recommends that the project should set a goal of releasing 200 elk over a 3-year period in one suitable Elk Release Site within the Potential Elk Restoration Area. The Committee does not recommend establishing multiple herds over a wide area with the 200 elk." The parent link - [url=http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/wildlife/elk/management-plan/]Elk Management and Restoration[/url] From this link - "At its October 5, 2010 meeting, the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries did not place a moratorium on elk hunting. Elk may be hunted during the remainder of the 2010-2011 deer seasons. Also, staff presented to the Board a two-year Operational Plan (PDF) to implement the pilot restoration program." So it looks like it's a fledgeling program, but you can hunt them if you can find them from what I can read in a different portion of the site under regulations for elk hunting: "Elk of either sex, antlered or antlerless, may be taken during any open deer season using the firearms legal for deer during that season. The taking of an elk counts towards the hunter's daily and license year bag limit for deer. Licenses, tag validation, and checking requirements for elk are the same for deer except that elk must be checked at a check station. It is unlawful to destroy the identity (sex) of any harvested elk until checked. Elk may be dismembered to pack it out from the place of kill. The identity of the sex and all parts of the carcass must be present when the elk is checked. Successful elk hunters are asked to contact the Wildlife Division of the Department's Marion Regional Office at (276)-783-4860 as soon as possible after killing an elk so that arrangements can be made to collect Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) samples. CWD testing is voluntary." [/QUOTE]
