Me too. A PA turkey hunt is long over due. I just need to figure out when to go.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

No they are not in a high fence ...Well at least not the ones I know about .... I see colars on some of them .... heck maybe those ones are .. but their has always been a population in Elk Co. P.a ever since I was a kid and longer... I had to move to Wa. to take my biggest bull  :dunno: :chuckle:

Don't know where this one came from. I think all these bulls are free range. I don't see anything that has to do with a high fence. One big hint is that they have tags on them. In a high fence area "most the time high fence hunts do not require tags on the animals like that"

It may not be "high fenced" but its a close second. Anytime you end up with 3 bulls like that in the back of a pick up in a morning of "hunting" its not really "hunting". Looks like they got to have a nice ride on the 4 wheeler though!

To each his own I guess, just not my cup of tea. I'd rather bowhunt public land and get skunked, and that is the truth!

We don't know what it was like so lets not try to guess. It couls have been that they were miles apart and the truck that had the means to pick them up whole went around and loaded them up from the different areas. Lets keep it on track and not get off subject by guessing :tup:

They are free range elk. A good place to look for them is around Benezette, PA. Lots of info on them if you google. They are a great success story, doing very well, and Pennsylvanins are very proud of them. Lots of forest and farm ground there, plenty of food and places to hide. No High fence.
Elk County is in an area known to locals called "The Big Woods". Its a good place to have a GPS or a compas.

Last year, PA awarded 56 licenses (18 antlered, 38 antlerless) for elk.  Over 18,000 entered the raffle, both PA and non-resident.  The herd numbers somewhere over 500.

I hear it's like shooting fish in a barrel... the challenge is in getting drawn for the hunt.

Sounds similar to our moose hunting here in Washington. Odds of drawing are about the same too.

Yeah for sure on that .... Northern P.a is big woods alright ... Elk Co & Warren co is where my family hunts ...rolling hills will mess you up quicker than being in the mountains ... and for all my turkey hunting buddies if you want a serious challenge go back there and find some gobblers to chase  :chuckle:

Awesome bulls. I sure like the dark antlers the bulls have over there. Don't let the Mossback crew see these. They might pack up and head east.

Some nice bulls. Is it just me or do all of the bulls on the PA link look a little goofy? Almost everyone of them is a non typical. I love the dark antlers but it seems like maybe they started with a small group of elk and did not have enough genetic diversity. You don't see any big classic typicals. Maybe its just me....
