HARRISBURG - The state's second elk season since 1932 produced the largest bull harvest the state

HARRISBURG - The state's second elk season since 1932 produced the largest bull harvest the state has seen since before the Civil War, according to Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Vern Ross. The season ran Nov. 18-23.
The 70 licensed hunters - selected in a public drawing from a field of more than 30,000 entrants - took 32 antlered and 29 antlerless elk. Two elk were taken by hunters using muzzleloaders - one by flintlock, one by in-line - and another was taken with a bow. The remainder was taken with centerfire rifles. Last year, the 30 licensed hunters took 14 antlered and 13 antlerless elk in the state's first modern-day elk hunt.
