A quick weekend trip to look for Pennsylvania's wild elk herd near Benezette.
The native elk disappeared by 1867 but the current herd are the descendants of 177 Rocky Mountain elk introduced between 1913 and 1926.
We were very lucky and starting at 7am saw over 50 elk. Me and a couple of friends tracked down a game trail and saw several active bulls and cows and heard lots of bugling. As the sun was getting low one young bull walked up a hill and into the tree line where we were "hiding" passing us 20 feet away.
