The state of TN has been in the process of reintroducing elk into the state. This year was around the 10th year into the TWRAs program and was the first year that the state allowed for the hunting of elk to 5 hunters. Here is a write up of TN's first modern day elk season. http://www.newschannel9.com/news/elk-985752-tennessee-miller.html http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_161370.asp
One more article http://news.tennesseeanytime.org/node/2890 I'll be glad when the number of hunters is expanded from 5. I hunt TN as well as GA but being a non-resident I have just about no shot of drawing an elk tag. It has been neat to follow.
