Just wanted to follow up the story of Reed Bamberbger's bull. The bull came in with an official Boone & Crockett score of 423 6/8" making it the second biggest bull taken in PA. That's five bulls now netting over 400" taken from PA and all of them coming during or after the 2005 hunting season. Just more concrete evidence that the herd and the bulls are getting bigger and healthier thanks to good management. At the heart of that managemnet plan, the PA elk hunting season.
So thank you PGC, your biologists, and especially hunters and their dollars for the great success story that is the PA elk herd. So whether you are about to pull the trigger or snap a photo please remember, you have hunters to thank for those impressive animals.
281 days and counting to the 2010 elk season. The next step in a healthier herd.
About Me
- JACK MANACK JR. (Elk Co Outfitters)
- The more hectic and crazy life gets day by day the more comfort and enjoyment I get out of the time I get to spend at Camp Nick. Yes we have electric, running water, and even satelite tv but the pace is just slower, more relaxed. I have never been one to have "Friday night bowling with the guys" or someone who stops after work to have a beer, hell some how even "fantasy football" has passed me by, but I DO GO TO CAMP. The times I have had there and the friendships and memories that I have made there will always be some of the nearest and dearest to my heart. With life comes change, hunting and camp are not immune to this. Some change is good, some is not. Both happen even in places and in things you wish you could protect. A camp is not just a place or a building. A camp, especially a true PA deer hunting camp is the people that walk through that door. What follows is the ever changing story of a true traditional hunting camp and the people that find a memory there.
