Besides KY (largest elk population east of the Rocky Mountain states), PA and TN, there are also wild herds in North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan (over a century), Wisconsin, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, Florida (one small free herd 50+ years in NE FL), South Dakota, North Dakota (I don't think SD ever lost all of their elk - not sure about ND).

Turns out they're in 31 states now with that set to increase as there are currently 2-3 more states studying restoration efforts. There's been a lot of restoration of elk the last 25 years, and also some restored elk populations have crossed state lines and established breeding populations (KY to VA & WV); an individual KY elk in OH; 1 or 2 individual NC elk documented so far in SC).
