Elk Will Come from Kentucky; Arizona

West Virginia’s fledgling elk herd will get another boost from a recreation area in Kentucky. The Gazette-Mail reports that the Tomblin Wildlife Management Area in Logan and Mingo counties will receive 17 elk from Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky, which had extra animals and reached out to the WV Division of Natural Resources. The natural resources division will pay the U.S. Forest Service $500 for each elk. The DNR also has an arrangement in place to receive 70 elk from Arizona, and all of the animals will arrive in West Virginia in February and March.
