PA Elk lotto

[pablodiablo]

Has anyone had any issues buying a Pennsylvania elk lotto entry? I am in my account on the PALS site, but can only see fishing licenses and other hunting licenses for sale...no elk entries as far as I can see. Unless Im missing something. Thanks much!

Mines in for elk. Debating putting in for a bear or not.

No "putting in" for bear in PA. Buy the license and hunt. Bear numbers have never been better in PA.

I agree I would like to see them expand to the north east. Lots of public land in those areas.

How many points is it taking to draw?

 

[dmandoes]

i have max points and huntin fool says my chance at an antlered elk is 1 in 470 or something like that.

Good luck all.

How many points is it taking to draw?

only takes 1

due to the low number of tags allotted ever year it isn't a preference point system. every point you have your name goes in the drawing once more.

i think I have seen some people say the max is 14 previous points so including this year their name would be in the hat 15 times and yours would be in it once.


i would discourage you all from entering as it will help to increase my odds

as far as the person talking about bears: buy a tag and find a stump or buy a tag and find a group bear season is a lot of fun in PA people in the woods but not quite as congested as deer season. especially nice if you have family in PA as then you can go hunt visit family for thanksgiving and be there for the first day or two of deer season
