Elk in 3H

[G-Man]

My understanding is if they are not native to ny and/or not protected by a season ex. woodchucks, hogs they are fair game. That is why moose were given protection when the dec felt there was a viable population present.

And mountain lions are listed by the dec as endangered in nys so no shooting them

[G-Man]

There is no protection or listing for elk in new york as per the rocky mt. elk foundation. part of the problem they are dealing with trying to get the state to reintroduce them..as of now you can shoot.

I googled elk hunting in NY.  All I came up with is the canned hunts.  Many of them.  Maybe a few of them hopped the fence and escaped.....

about shooting them in the wild.... I'm not so sure.  Not worth the risk.

I'd ask the DEC before risking your hunting license for 10 years.

I was told even a mountain lion since they don't exists and no season you can't shoot I assume same for elk

You can't shoot Elk or Moose in NY, unless on a private canned hunt. You will lose you hunting license for a very long time. Hogs are listed as small game, open season, with a small game license.

A guy i work with went to PA last year for an ultra marathon. After me telling him about the Elk in PA he did some reasearch and found out that he would be in the general vanicnity. He sought them out and wound up in the middle of them, He took some amazing pics.....I;ll try and transfer them from one computer to another when I rememebr...you guys would be impressed. He was within 15 feet of a nice bull!!! After I saw the pics and he describe the musty smell.....I told him he was out of hi freakin mind. He had no clue......but i love this guy, he's awesome!
