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.

Elk County Outfitters: The Guys

These are some of the faces that you can see around Camp Nick both during the elk hunts and the regular hunting seasons. They are resposible for some of the best times I've ever had. Without them hunting seasons wouldn't be the same and the elk hunt would not be possible.
Thank you guys for letting me do this with you.

For my first blog I would just like to welcome anyone that shares my interest, not necessarily my opinion, on the items listed in the descriptions of myself and my blog. After following along with several blogs concerning the Pa elk hunt I felt it was important to express the thoughts and facts behind a pro-elk hunt persons feelings. Though I'm sure it is not done intentionally alot of the statements made from the people that have a problem with the elk hunt are unsubstantiated and made out of anger or fear instead of fact. Hopefully the same passion that you have for the elk will allow you to open your mind to another point of view and let this blog educate you to the point that you have more of the facts than you do now. Maybe then you will be able to make a more enlightened opinion concerning the elk, their habitat, and the benefits that the hunt does for both.
