Second Regular Season

---

Since the reintroduction of elk hunting in Pennsylvania in 2001, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has awarded hunters the available bull and cow elk tags through a random lottery from among the applicants.  

Starting in 2026 Lucky applicants are allotted 9 days (Saturday-Sunday) beginning in late October through the first week of November  in which to hunt Pennsylvania's Elk Country.

For those who do not successfully draw in a given year, the Pennsylvania Game Commission allows for accumulating bonus points toward the next year's drawing.
