Yep, small Bull center stage now.
For any wondering about the road, that is probably on gated land not open to motor vehicles. Friend has a cousin who is a GW and he took us on a tour years back. We passed thru 3-4 locked gates to get to where they did some of their habitat work.

I bet all of those and plenty others like both kinds of fox, some porkipines, maybe racoons.
Do you happen to know if the fishers have made it down near Benezette yet. I saw some over by Warren and Cherry Grove back in '99/'00. Wardens told me they released them in the Cherry Grove area and were surprised I had seem them near Warren.
Again, all you Pennsyltuckians have a great fall.
Geno I trapped around that area you're asking about fishers in. I trapped mostly in potter county, some of mckean and elk county. Yes sir there are fishers in that area, bobcat and alot of yotes.

I've watched this webcam off and on a number of times and have yet to see an elk. I think you guys are taping elk pics to your monitors.  Guess I'll just go out and kill my own.

I've left the page open for the last couple days, just in the last 15 minutes I've heard 3 bugles! Pretty cool!

There was a spike laying there, the camera was zoomed in on him. I heard one bugle, the spike looked over his shoulder and quickly got up and moved off. A BIG one with a forest of points on his head had came in to chase the little one off.
There's still a couple there but at the outer range of the camera, you can't see them very clearly.

Pair of medium size ones (5x5 5x6 or so) eyeing each other up, but I don't think the littler one wants to get his ass whooped.

It's about 10:30 pm PA time. They must have an IR light on the camera. It's not moving and there's a cow feeding right in front of it. She seems nervous and might not be around long.

There's a fisher season, a large portion of the state (mostly the northern half) is open. Benezette would be in the heart of the open area. My parents neighbors think they saw one near DuBois last year.
So I'd say they are there.
Dale Thanks Dale and Teeter, for the info on the fishers. Good to hear they seem to be expanding range. If there's a season I hope the trappers are getting a good price for them or if not a good price someone gets a cool mount. Way cool that the parent's neighbors got to see one even. Not many folks do. I'm betting the timber companies are happy as the darn things like to eat "porky pines". Think I'm going to check the cam and see if there's any bugling going on tonight. Geno Fishers are here in central PA, Centre county.

Back awhile, one Cow moved off into the wood and he left the others and was bugling to bring her back. Right now there is some serious bellowing going on.

Looks like two bulls are going to get it on! Didn't last long. They banged horns a couple times then broke off. Best show I've seen so far.

2 bulls on there now. They touched antlers but no action beyond bugling. One has a couple cows with calves. The 2d one went off the camera but you can hear him in the distance.
They must have a motion detector on the camera to follow the movement.It almost seems like the bulls are wearing a sensor that attracts the camera.
I'm curious about the genetics here. The bulls have extra points that Rocky Mtn elk don't usually have. I've seen them in farm elk but not in the wild.
