congrats!! does PA really produce trophy bulls? i'm just curious?

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

They say "If you want to kill a Trophy Bull you have to go to Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado or Pennsylvania"

So.... The Number 7 in the world was taken last year.

WOW, learn something new every day

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

Yeah you can go feed'em or if your drawn shoot'em, either way it's fun!

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

sweet deal

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

Elk county pennsylvania has 200-250 elk. Its not a big herd but the elk are amazing.

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

There was an unbelievable 9X7 , 400+" bull hanging out about 1 mile from our camp a couple years ago in Clinton Co.
You should have seen THAT thing up close. [:-]

I have never put in for a tag either myself........why I'm not sure but my buddy Frank has put in every year since it started and is bitter EVERY year about not getting drawn. LOL :D

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

KY supposedly has the best elk herd east of the Mississippi. Virgin Land and the best imported genetics from capture sights out west equals a mighty fine start to an excellent herd reintroduction...

Like Frank, I am bitter every year my name doesnt come up.

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

I heard a rumor from a couple game commission officers they wanna bring elk to a few more counties in PA....I heard carbon/monroe/pike were possibilities.
See what happens.

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

Yeah, but every Time you friend dosent get drawn, he gets more preferance points, and if you read the website it was like over half of the people drawn had a bunch of preferance points.

That's a heck of a bull. My dad and I entered the first year, but haven't since then. I'm on the fence on whether the areas that are hunted are areas where the herd has become "domesticated" or where they're still like they are out west. I've heard reports claiming both sides of the argument.

Didn't know you had a camp in Clinton Co. Learn something new everyday.

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

Congrats and good luck to him

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

Where is the list of names?
I found the list by county, but couldn't find any names listed.

Hope your buddy smokes one!

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

Nevermind, did a google search and found a list.
Guess I'll be sending in another $10 next year.

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

I've been curious if once the elk were mixed in with the deer herd were than any negative effects?

I have heard from many when talking about releasing a herd into west central Illinois that it would have to many negative effects on our trophy hunting. No proof or homework done by me, I'm ignorant to this topic.

Others have said that our terrain here was not suitable for it and the competition over cover and food would not be suffecient enough to support a healthy population. I think I have heard before there is a small population in So. Illinois though...

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

That would be cool. Hey, I live in Elk Lick Township in Somerset County, it just makes sense right? [&:]

RE: Friend Of Mine Got Drawn!!!
 

Ok I must be an idiot.........:eek:

Where did you find a list of the actual hunters names who were drawn for the hunt?
