Is moose or elk hunting allowed in NJ PA or conneticut
 
I want to hunt Elk and Moose but I don't want a guided hunt or shooting on private land or a game farm. I want to shoot on public land. I believe guide takes all the learning and experimenting of hunting. Anyway any state land offer these species?

Elk and/or moose on public land in the east?

Is this a trick question ?

I'm sure if they offer tags that they'll be really hard to get.

Better to come out west for elk.

There's moose a bit north of you in Maine.

No wild moose or elk in PA that I know of. Historically, wild moose have been exctinct in PA for about 150 years.

Elk were also killed off in PA but they started to reintroduce them in 1913. I doubt you're able to hunt them. They're just there to look at.

PA has elk but it takes a long time to draw.

Good to know! I know we have an elk herd of over 800, but I couldn't find any info on hunting them.

Guess I was looking in the wrong place then. Thanks for the link.

Have you ever hunted in PA? Read the book they give you when you buy a license. Has some good information in it.
