Every year, the distinctive sound of elk bugling can be heard in the Elk State Forest. That high-pitched sound comes from male elk that bugle during the breeding season to attract potential mates and to establish dominance.
It’s the sound of these bugles and the sight of these majestic creatures that brings more than half a million visitors to northcentral Pennsylvania every year. Specifically, to Elk State Forest.
And while Elk State Forest is a secluded area most of the year, is inundated with people from the late summer through the fall that are in search of the largest free-roaming elk herd in the northeastern United States. The sight of a herd is special moment to remember. If you can beat the crowds.
On this episode, I speak with Joe Kellert. Joe is the district forester for Elk State Forest.
