Elk cam back in action
The Pennsylvania Game Commission has again installed Elk Cam to livestream elk as the bugling season gets underway.
The camera has been installed on state game lands 311 in Elk County, in a field that typically is a hub of elk activity. Video and sound from the camera are being livestreamed, and viewers could also turkeys, deer, bear and other wildlife.
Elk will soon ramp up rutting activity with bulls becoming more vocal and competing with one another for available cows.
Elk Cam is slated to run until the end of the bugling season in mid-October. The top time to see elk on camera is late in the afternoon. The stream can be accessed on the game commission website at www.pgc.pa.gov/Wildlife/WildlifeSpecies/Elk/Pages/default.aspx.
The livestream is provided by HDOnTap and made possible with the help of the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission.
