My boss at works wife drew a cow elk tag this year. He had to get certified a guid so that he can hunt with her. Their area is zone 10. When the GC called her she did not even know her husband had been entering her for the last 8 years. She bow hunts and has killed a few deer during gun season.
3 or 4 years ago another friend drew a bull tag and shot a real nice 5x5, can't remember what zone he was hunting in.

One of my buddies drew a bull tag a few years ago. He shot a big NT bull, don't know what zone.
Didn't sound like much of a hunt to me. He said the guide took him out and showed him two huge bulls the evening before the hunt and asked him which one he wanted. The next morning they walked up on the hill to the same place and he shot the NT.

Anybody hear about 2 or 3 bulls getting poached up there recently?

3 were poached. My understanding is 2 were taken last week, 1 a few days earlier. Perp(s) was caught red-handed. The one bull was probably the largest of the elk herd this year. Hearing around 420" ??

Dang Poachers! Stealing a trophy from someone that has probably waited many many years for the chance! :(

Dale, sorry not this year. I've been up to my ears in moving our house and going to job interviews. Maybe next year.
I was mainly curious to see if anyone had drawn a PA elk tag. It seems like the odds are so remote that it's almost an act of god to draw one. Regardless i'll keep plugging away. I just started building points three years ago so maybe when Im' 65 I'll draw a tag... ;)

He had to get a guide, or a guide license to hunt with her. Either way really? Why?

Not to get off topic but how do the points work in PA? How does a point increase your odds? I've never seen any stats on draw odds and number of points.
