Todd, the Game Commission here sells about 60 elk hunting licences a year. I'm not sure of the number anymore, because I don't keep up with it.
In order for a shot at a license, you have to send in ten bucks to join a raffle and hope you win.
There's about as much sport in PA Elk hunting as fishing in your bathtub. They're big, tame, stoopid critters.
They should make guys hunt them with a piece of rope. That'd be fun to watch, and it'd be a lot more sporting. If you can strangle one with a piece of clothesline, you can take him home.

I'd pay to get in on a lottery to watch that.

That's kind of like when I won a ticket to take a moose in Maine. No sport to it and when I had my shot with a bow I passed and just admired the animal.
