The previous post gave a brief look back at how my family came to hunt and spend our time in the Dents Run area of Elk County. After many years of staying in motels we found a place a little closer to our hunting grounds. These pictures are of houses that are owned by a Benezette resident and were converted into boarding houses so to speak. These houses are still being used today and were a brief stop for our hunting group on the way to having a permanent home base.
In 1991 we were blessed when we found the property where we would build our camp. When we first stepped foot out of the truck that day and saw that view, we were in love.Shortly after we began construction.
I have come to learn that a camp is never truly finished but here is our "finshed product."
First hand accounts of the controversial Pennsylvania elk hunt. Factual reports from the entire elk range not just the highly publicized viewing areas. Statistical data showing that the elk herd is better today then prior to the start of the hunt. Reporting from both sides of the elk hunt controversy. Video and photo proof of what we encounter year round through the entire elk range. A true account of what is out there, what few know about and where even fewer go.
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.
Mission Statement
This blog is to be an educational tool as well as a source of info on the Pa elk, their habitat, and the hunt. It's was also necessary for clearing up alot of uninformed views about the elk hunt and the management plan for the elk herd itself. Negative thoughts are little to worry about but when they become comments and are shouted from the roof tops by people that have a clouded view of something and very little understanding of it, it is not only your right but your duty to correct what is wrong and be a voice for science, fact, and truth.
