    Black, who is employed by Crop Production Service, has hunted elk in Colorado four times, but nothing out there compared to his Pennsylvania experience. "I’ve been in the Pennsylvania drawing five times and getting selected for a bull permit this year gave me the hunt of a lifetime ... The western elk just don’t compare to the size of the bodies and horns that we have here in Pennsylvania." A total of 16 elk — eight bulls and eight cows — were harvested on Monday, the opening day of the hunt. Full Article at Centre Daily Times
