I love Elk!!
Pennsylvania has Millions of Deer, but we're working on building our Elk Herd:
We're getting there, but slowly:

• Today, the elk population is around 1,000-1,200 and can be found in 10 of Pennsylvania’s counties. Elk are one of the largest species within the deer family and range in forest and forest-edge habitat.

Bear, not sure how I missed this! Nice to hear the population is growing back! That was an interesting read, appreciate ya sending that! So question, in that article it states…

“The Pennsylvania Game Commission began an effort to reintroduce elk in Pennsylvania, and in 1913, Pennsylvania’s first shipment of Yellowstone elk arrived by train.”

I assume they mean elk from West Yellowstone? Or am I wrong?!?

Hi Justin,
Here's more on that:
The creation of the Game Commission in 1895 paved the way for an ambitious effort to replenish and provide additional protection to many of the states dangerously low wildlife populations. Deer, turkeys and quail topped the list of game animals the agency bought and released. In 1912, the Game Commissioners and agency Executive Secretary Joseph Kalbfus began talking about re-introducing elk in Pennsylvania. The idea stemmed from a federal government effort to reduce the mushrooming elk herds at Yellowstone National Park and the Jackson Hole Refuge Area, preserves that were protecting the remnants of America's once-mighty elk population. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Biological Survey and Department of Forestry, unwilling to sanction a hunt for the overabundant animals, opted to translocate some and winter feed the rest.

Kalbfus wrote in his 1912 annual report, "It now appears that the herds of elk found upon the public domain of the far West are annually subjected to severe suffering and death by starvation because of the limitation and taking for agricultural purposes of their winter feeding grounds, and that ... the national government is anxious to reduce the western herds by placing numbers of these animals elsewhere to their benefit, the cost to those receiving such animals being only the expense incurred in their capture and transportation..."

Bear, thanks for that info! I had no idea that happened all those years ago! Very interesting!

On a side note, the big problem we have now with the elk and all our game for that matter is they reintroduced the wolves! They have taken a big toll on our game!
