3 Days: Looking for Elk - Pennsylvania Elk Country
Pennsylvania was once the home of the Eastern Elk until land development and uncontrolled hunting caused their extinction. In the 1920's the Rocky Mountain Elk were introduced to Central and North Eastern Pennsylvania, today the herd in Central PA, known as the Pennsylvania Wilds is alive and well and slowly growing in size. I spent 3 days in the PA Wilds in search of Elk, having heard tales of others who had gone and not seen any, I had low expectations. My concerns over not getting the chance to see these majestic animals with my own two eyes... turned out to be unfounded. While on my road trip I got to visit 8 new state parks (Bald Eagle, Black Moshannon, Parker Dam, Bucktail, Sinnemahoning, Kettle Creek, Hyner Run and Hyner View) and three new state forests (Moshannon, Elk and Sproul) as well as the section of the PA Wilds know as Elk Country, the Pennsylvania Elk Range.

Elk bugling in Pennsylvania. The state of Pennsylvania has a small herd of around 700 Elk. Here, I caught a nice video clip of a battle worn bull elk, missing one antler, rounding up his cows and chasing off a small bull. For the best Elk sounds CD on the market, visit The CD captures the natural soundscapes of elk calls and bugles with a background of insects, owls, and other animals during the peak of the rut in Pennsylvania hills. Recording sounds is my speciallity, sorry for the shakiness of this video. I was handholding a 900mm lens.

Elk Watching Benezette, Pennsylvania

Scenic Drive to PA Elk Country Visitor's Center, Benezette, and Dents Run Trip with my Mom 9/2017
My mom and I went to Elk County PA, and the Elk Country Visitor's Center in Benezette, PA on 9-24-2017. The temperature in the Pittsburgh Area was 95 degrees Farinheit ( 35 C ) for the high, so we wanted to go somewhere cooler. Unfortunately the temperature was not much cooler (closer to 91 degrees Farinheit or 33 degrees C). The drive was nice, with good Fall Foliage viewing. Unfortunately the Pennsylvania Elk don't like to come out when it is hot. For the 2nd year in a row, we did not see any Elk. It was nice to take country roads, and go back a different way. While in the Elk Area (within the Elk Range) in Elk County, PA we stopped to get ice cream, visited the Elk Country Visitor's Center and Dead Animal Room. I took a few short walks outside, most of which my mom did not join me on, and we drove back. I attempted to speed all of the conversation up to make it private, or in certain cases I sped it up less to make us sound like chipmunks.
Elk Trail in Elk State Forest, PA- Live Action
The Elk Trail is a 16 mile linear trail in Elk State Forest, Elk County, PA. It is relatively flat with mostly open forest...we spotted two elk on the trail and several elk before and after, just off local roads. Benezette (the closest town) is infamous for being PA's Elk capital with a Visitor's Center nearby. The trail was hiked on July 25th, 2017 with hiking brothers John and Steve Snider.

Visit to Elk County
I take a trip to Benezette in Elk County Pennsylvania to look for elk. The morning was quite foggy and it didn't burn off until 10:00 AM. After that it was hot. Elk usually stay back where it is shady on hot days and don't move until evening. There was a lot of people
cruising the back roads, which made for slow moving trying to get anywhere.
