Elk Presence A Problem
KENTUCKY...
What was once a point of pride in the mountains has now become an area of concern. In the Bell County area local residents are complaining to the Fish and Wildlife Department Resources about the presence of elk on roadways near Pineville. The relocated elk have been so successful in their growth, including their size, number and frequency on mountain roads, that residents now want some form of contol on the animals. Judge-Executive Albey Brock has asked the Department to hold public hearings to gather input from residents.
