PA Elk Photos

While up hunting the one day we decided to take a long drive to Elk County to see some elk and get some pictures. Figured I'd share the pictures I got. It was snowing so some of the pictures aren't the best.

A nice big boy feeding in someone's lawn.

Re: PA Elk Photos

I grew up in Elk County, PA. I have watched the herd grow from a handfull of elk in the 70's to what it is today. We used to take the relatives spotting to see them. Near Benezette they regularly lay in peoples front yards at night and don't care about people with spotlights.

BTW, great pics!

Re: PA Elk Photos

The collars on the elk are tracking collars. They keep a pretty close eye on them, where they are going, and what they are doing. One these years I'm going to try for the 3rd time for an elk tag so I can try to shoot one here in PA with either a rifle or a crossbow. I haven't managed to get pulled yet. Tried the first two years the tags came out and haven't tried again since due to lack of time to hunt them if I was to be drawn for a tag. I'm finally getting some time back around November where I might go for my tag next year or the year after.
