Pa Elk .Com

We took this video yesterday while on Winslow Hill in Benezette Pa. The quality of the video is not so great because we were totally not prepared and just happened upon this one while out for a drive. It appears to be a 6X6 but I could not be sure.

At about 46 seconds in the elk lets out a really nice Bugle and started to move down into the woods. I did not stay to catch more than one bugle since I was parked in a pull off and I don’t like staying on the side of the road for long, but I heard him several more times from the viewing area that was about a quarter of a mile from here.

For those who want to hear elk bugling first hand, now is the time to get out there. Right now you can hear them at just about any time during the day and late into the night as they are getting ready for the rut.

When you ask most Pa Elk  pros they will tell you that going up on Winslow Hill in Benezette Pa is a great choice to see mature bull elk.

This one was way off in the distance standing on the crest of a hill. It was hard to get a good picture because there were a lot of weeds between it and I, plus the bull would not stay still. Read the rest of this entry »
