Here in north central PA yesterday (21 Feb 2010) the weather was beautiful; not a cloud in the sky and the temp was bumping 40F. My wife and I decided to take the dog and go for an "Elk Ride" to the southeast corner of Elk County, PA, near the village of Benezette on PA 555. It's not far for us, since we live in the center of the county. That part of Elk County and adjoining Cameron County is home to until the late 1990s what was the only herd of wild elk west of the Rockies, and is several hundred animals large.
We ended up seeing 10 total elk, two bulls and eight cows, all were in the brush, and mostly laying down resting. The elk were about 35 to 50 yards off the road in the Winslow Hill area above Benezette.
The best of the photos follow; enjoy!
