Pennsylvania Elk Herd – History
Elk once freely roamed all over Pennsylvania but the rapid settlement and exploitation by early immigrants threatened the herds. By 1867 there were no more elk in Pennsylvania. Unregulated hunting and habitat loss were the biggest factors of their demise.
In 1913 the Pennsylvania Game Commission began reintroducing elk in Pennsylvania. The elk herd we know today originated from 177 elk that were trapped and transferred to northern areas of Pennsylvania. The reintroduction of elk took place from 1913 through 1926. The releases in north-central Pennsylvania were successful and the herd now numbers more than 1,400.
Visitors can easily see the majestic elk in Elk and Cameron counties. The town of Benezette is considered to be the heart of Pennsylvania's wild elk country. Plan your visit today at VisitPAGO.com
