Quick Details
Elk in Pennsylvania? You bet! PA is home to 800-900 wild free-ranging elk, centered around the town of Benezette, Mid to late September is a great time to see them, as bulls gather harems and challenge each other for breeding rights during the annual rut.
Join wildlife photographer Sean Quintilian for 2 morning and 2 evening shoots, to avoid the crowds this is a Monday and Tuesday workshop. We will arrive pre-dawn each morning to set up and listen to the elk bugle in the pre-dawn light. The morning session will last until 11 or 12, Followed by a late breakfast/lunch and a mid-day break at the hotel. We will go back out each evening for 3-4 hours.
Photography will focus on the bull elk as they bugle, strut, herd and maybe defend their harems.
