As a member of the Rocky Mtn Elk foundation I keep apprised of elk restoration projects. Penn is a huge success story especially considering how little contiguous wild forest lands are available in the midwest and east coast. If you look at where elk live out west for the most part they call home the huge tracts of national forest and wilderness..

Consider yourselves lucky to have such a magnificent animal to potentially hunt.. after hunting whitetails most of my teen years in the midwest then moving to Montana and now Washington, I find that there is no more challenging and rewarding hunting than Elk. $10 is a cheap ticket for a try.. Don't expect though that using your typical whitetail tactics are also going to work for elk.. if they're anything like western elk you're going to have to work your butt off to get one.
