You're right...There are some bulls up in prime elk country here in PA that would cost a hunter out west a whole lot of money if on a trophy hunt. The herd has been spreading out somewhat over recent years, and elk are being seen regularly now where they were a rarity just a few years ago.
I put in every year for a license, but have yet to be drawn. Just hoping that one of these years I can get my name pulled........
Some of the bulls I have seen in the last few years have been nothing but totally awesome.
