GAME COMMISSION AWARDS ELK LICENSES TO 45 HUNTERS
On Saturday, Sept. 20, visitors to the Pennsylvania Outdoor Elk Expo witnessed the Pennsylvania Game Commissions public drawing to award elk licenses to 45 hunters for the upcoming season, which will be held Nov. 3-8. There were 17,432 individuals eligible for the drawing. All 45 hunters selected to receive a license will be mailed a confirmation letter within a week.
While there is great interest in the names of the hunters who will receive these 45 elk hunting licenses, by law, the Game Commission is not permitted to release information about our license buyers to the public, said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director. Beyond announcing the names and hometowns of those selected at the public drawing, we are not permitted to provide a complete list for public dissemination.
ELK GUIDE PERMIT APPLICATION DEADLINE IS OCT. 10
Anyone interested in applying to be an elk guide for the upcoming November elk hunt should submit a completed application to the Pennsylvania Game Commissions Bureau of Wildlife Protection by Friday, Oct. 10. Elk guide permits cost $10 for residents and $25 for nonresidents.
Guides may provide assistance in locating or tracking elk, but may not harvest an elk. Permit applications may be obtained from the Game Commissions Harrisburg headquarters by calling 717-787-5740.
