2010 PA Elk Season
 
Do you guys enter the drawing every year? This will be my 4th season entering the drawing so my name will be in 4 times. Just curious to see how many of you go for it. I only entered for the bull, as I have no desire to shoot a female. Hoping this is my year!!!

Good luck.I live just on the inside of the ELK range and have never sent in for a tag.I honestly don't know why either.I guess the odds just don't seem worth it.

I entered either the first or second year they ran the drawing, but have not entered since, I got discouraged based on the odds. However this year I actually decided to just order a preference point as I do not have the time to hunt elk this year, but would like to in the future.

I think it would be great to draw a bull elk tag, I think it would a fun hunt.

I wonder if the number of people entering elk applications has gone down?

It's gone from somewhere around 50k plus applicants to around 17k I believe.

I didn't put in on years that I had a moose license. So I've put in all but three years.

How many lottery tickets have you bought in your lifetime? :D

I'm thinking about it this year, but my vacation time is getting scarce. If I get the license, I think it might be worth taking an unpaid vacation day or two. A trip out west could be $4000 and I make less than $2000 a day.
