Elk In PA
Dec 9, 2021 08:47:35 #
Ironically, my last post was one year ago of Elk in Pennsylvania. At that time, there was 24" of snow on the ground (12/17/20). These photos were taken 11/9/21. I spent the better part of a day searching for some bulls and finally, on my last hike, I came over a ridge and there were 8 bulls working their way through a grassy area. It was an amazing sight.

Great images! Many people don't know that elk were thriving in Pennsylvania hundreds of years ago.

Thanks. Elk were native to PA but the settlers extirpated them. Elk were re-introduced in 1913 and are now thriving. They are a natural treasure of our state. Waiting for another snowfall, and I'll be back up there.
