Yes, I have been watching the elk cam on the PGC web page for about 3 days. The bulls are bugling, it is not frantic but they are making some noise and sticking around the cows. Hopefully one f those cows will be in my freezer this year. There is a big herd of cows and a huge Bull on now. I think he is a 7X7 but he will not hold still long enough to count right, he could be bigger than that. He is chasing cows now and bugling. Here is the link. https://www.pgc.pa.gov/Wildlife/Wild...s/default.aspx If you don't see them when you first tune in, just hang around, the camera moves around.

Yeah there are quite a few elk today. About 3 or 4 days ago I started to watch and it started with just deer. Saw some decent bucks and then around 3 or 4 cows started to show. Then a flock of turkey. In the last couple of days the elk are on the site pretty solid. I saw some calves running around the field and now there are 30 to 40 cows and calves along with the herd bull and a couple of satellite bulls in the background. Saw the big guy run off another smaller bull. Couldn't see how big the satellite bull was. Looks to me like the herd bull is a 7X7 or better. When there is someone in the visitors center they often will focus on the bull and stay on him. Not sure when they come to work but it is around 8 am and the elk are headed out of the top end of the field. Lots of fun to hear the bugling.
