@Frank in the Laurels how many NON resident Elk tags are issued in PA yearly?

I've shot a number of big black bears. Most were only half the size of your friend's bear AND I was always up in a tree. I hunted from a ground blind once and had a sow with cubs walk in. The sow knew someone was in the ground blind and came much too close. I was very concerned about an imminent attack but didn't shoot. I gave up on ground blinds after that.

However, I had a BIG sow, accompanied by cubs, climb my ladder stand in the dark but that's another story.

In all three seasons, archery, rifle and late...around 50 Bull's and 100 cows, it does vary depending on population census...nonresident are included equally in the drawing, no % limit yet...

You're doing a good job of documenting the great hunting opportunities there. Society will be along shortly to ruin it for you, now that you've shown everyone.

With the limit on tags and numbers of applicants in the draw, not a chance...bring your camera and hunt like I do...no limit and no draw.. you can even say bang if you want to....not to worry

Entered the lottery the very first year and after an abnormal number of Senior PA Officials walked away with tags, I'll never waste my money again.
