Yep. It's probably even more of an anomaly than KDKA as three letter IDs are pretty rare.

The last moose known to be killed in Pennsylvania was in 1790.

I hear elk are being re-introduced. There has been a herd in Elk County (since before WWII, wasn't it?) of reintroduced Idaho Elk, the originals having gone out in the 1900 time frame IIRC. And there's been a season for a little wile now, or at least there was. Not living there anymore, I'm not up on the latest.

Buffalo were also here at one time. Interesting read. However, how accurate? Who knows, but at one time Pa had a considerable herd of Woods Bison. http://www.scribd.com/doc/34620027/1915-A-Pennsylvania-Bison-Hunt

PA at one time had wolves, cougars, moose, bison, and several
different Native American tribes.

....and some serious fighting and torture went on between the Natives and newcomers. Not an easy time for the weak.

And there's been a season for a little wile now, or at least there was. Not living there anymore, I'm not up on the latest. I remember reading an article in the Pennsylvania Game News about 40 years ago about the Pennsylvania elk herd. I think the last season on the "native" elk was held in 1923. New elk were transplanted from Wyoming, I believe, but maybe it was Idaho; I can't remember all of the details. For a long time, the herd suffered from brain worm. It would get to about 50 - 60 animals and then die off to about 35. For some reason, the herd in recent years seems to have overcome the brain worm problem and expanded to several hundred animals, hence a hunting season was justified. I've seen some real K-whopper bulls in the Benezette area, as big as anything I've seen in the Rocky Mountains.
