The game Camera is up and running. However, it looks like they have plowed up their food plot. The filed is now mostly dirt. It will be interesting to see if Elk will come into the field this year.

I bet they reseeded it. give it a couple weeks and I bet it looks way different.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

24 hour Campfire Members; The elk field is indeed brown and looking as if has been lightly tilled and re-seeded. The surrounding perimeter is green and lush in vegetation and hopefully the apple trees at the far end are producing fruit for the wildlife. It has been a dry summer for Pa, but recently we have seen rains from the remainder of the Louisiana hurricane. Early mornings and late evenings will be the best viewing. Enjoy ! HH

On 1 hand I love this and on the other I hate it. Once it gets closer to the rut I waste waayy to much time watching. I really do enjoy it,

9/5/20 7:56pm The bull walks out of camera view. But at 7:57 pm the coloring of the green brown field changed to shades of grey. I wonder what happens to cause that color change .... night lighting and lens change ??? HH

They had a close-up of a cow chewing, then suddenly she ran out of the frame and a nice bull stepped in, gave a big bugle, and took off after her. Pretty dang cool. That food plot is already showing some growth.
Still, the VA camera has had more elk, up to about 30. Be even better if the fuggin' tourists would stay back. Nothing on the TN cam yet but a couple of turkeys.

9/13/20 2:01 pm Nice green up on the Pa field now. Hope this new food growth pulls in more elk. The prime viewing season is approaching usually around the 18th, we need some cooler weather to kick in the rut activity. HH

Very chilly this morning and cooler temps in the forecast, I’d assume an increase in rut activity. I live a bit over an hour away but plan to finally make a visit to the elk center and hope to hear some bugling bulls

Looked like wet snow falling about 5am, too chunky for rain.
Overall, the most elk have been on the VA camera; upwards of thirty at times. TN has been very spotty, but some show occasionally. Last ones I saw were actually bedded down, then a couple cows got up looking off camera. Soon a smallish bull showed.

There's a 5x5 bull feeding right under the camera pole. That's the closest I've ever seen one to the camera!

9/27/20 6:46pm For the last hour a herd of cow calves and herd bull, a bigger one (6X7), has been feeding in the field bugling his challenge to others and checking out his cows for breeding. It once looked like a cow and the bull were chasing two deer out of the field. Counted 24 elk on the field. Enjoy ! The rut is ON ! HH

9/28/20 7:00pm Big bull and his harem of cows out and feeding ! Warch it now before it goes to a Night lighting with just shades of gray. Now 7:24 pm and night lighting is on. Bull is bugling... last night he bugled and charged off the field several times but there was never a confrontation that I saw. Just one raghorn came out and feed a field away safely. HH

9/30/20 8:08pm I click on the web cam and I hear antler clacking as it downloads... hoping to see elk fighting... instead I see a 2x2 buck and 5x4 buck, whitetails of course, sparring with each other. Perhaps they were watching some elk and decided to play. Pa whitetail rut is in Nov... perhaps they are confused, but looks like they were just playing, and not really fighting to the death as some bucks do ! Enjoy ! HH

10/3/20 4:45pm Looks like the web cam is closed now for the 2020 season, Thank you Pa Game Comm and HDOT. Sorry I missed seeing the bear this year, also happened when I was actually there a few years ago, was watching the field.. things got slow, and I was talking with other close viewers, and a bear crossed the field ! Never saw him, as I was talking ! : ( LOL. Good Luck hunting this fall to all the Campfire members. HH
