Here is a picture of some of the Elk Herd that we have here in Penna.
Last year was the first year that hunting elk was allowed in Pa. There were 50,000 people who applied for the 30 license's available.Of these 29 were Pa residents and one was from Vermont. Of the 30 27 took elk, with eight antlered and seven antlerless in Elk County, and six of each in Cameron County. This year 70 license's will bw issued. The Game commision estimated the Pa. Herd to be around 700 animals with an annual growth rate of 10-14 percent.
This hunt was designed to reduce the number of elk where conflicts occur with landowners and redirect their expansion into suitable areas!
The game commisions goal is to manage for a high production of large mature bulls.
They tell us that the eastern elk are a bit larger than the western elk, but not having been out west I would not know. In some areas near St Mary's Pa the elk have become quite a nuisance to property owners! I for one am glad they are here and love to take a trip down yearly to catch a glimps of them. Hopefully I will be able to take some additional photos this year. Enjoy Pa.

By the way... The white tails here in Steuben and Chemung counties are only a few hundred pounds heavier than your elk. We feed corn here while you guys seem to think those emaciated excuses can live on hemlock bark.
Nice pics. Thanks.
