I live 21 miles from Sitton Memorial Park. On my website, I am picured standing in front of 100 or more elk at the Park. It wasd a cold and windy day in March of 2008 There has been an increase in the population since then. If you go during a weekday, there is little traffic then, and alot quieter then the weekend. They are also getting used to a.t.v.s as long as noone reeves up.I specialize painting elk on coal, so good photos are a must. I know several people in the area that has elk on the property regularly.Cow Creek in Floyd Co,Ky,JennyWiley State Park {Prestonsburg,Ky and Vest Ky are good places. Cataloochee Valley in the Smokies is a good place to view up close, but tourists there have a tendency to get too close and spook them. There are supposs to be elk close to where I live {elk crossing signs} but havent seen them. I moved to this area in order to be near the elk. I live 21 miles from Sitton Memorial Park.

I am glad to hear some feedback and hear that good numbers of Elk are seen around Sutton Memorial Park. I think I was there just too early to see herds and hear much bugling. There was plenty of signs of Elk in the area. It was my first run at searching for the Elk in Kentucky. So, I should wait until mid to late October there from what you wrote. Thank you very much!

Only a week prior, a person in my mtn bike clan saw a herd of over 120. We also got pretty close (I'd say around 200 feet away) from some cows, or female elk.<br/>Their mating is usually at its peak around mid-autumn.
