Where Can You Shoot Elk In The Herd

By Freida Lamb


Shooting pictures of Elk in the herd presents an opportunity that you should not miss out on. The best places to catch them are in Wyoming and in the west of the US where they are found in big numbers. Some excellent opportunities will be available there.

Places such as the north central parts of Pennsylvania have large amount of space where you can find a large number of these animals. Shooting them there can be a most overwhelming experience, especially close to a village known as Benezette which lies in Elk County Pennsylvania.

For those who want to come to this part of the US, the best place to check out is a place called Elk Country Visitors Center on Winslow Hill Road. At this place, you can easily find elk which are known to wander here and so become easy to photograph.

Even if you do not know the area too well, the Center has staff that will point out the places most frequented by the animals. However, mid September is not the right time to shoot them as there are too many tourists in Benezette and so it makes more sense to find a suitable time of the year to do the shooting.

Elk are known to run quite wild and this means that you can never be sure about when you will come across them. It is also equally important to understand that you should shoot them when they are in the right position. For this, you have to be ready to exercise patience and you need to also be alert so that you are quick enough to catch them when the pose is right.

The simple truth is that you must be ready to spend long hours idling. This is because there are periods when the animals do not show up and at other times they are seen there in large numbers. You must be able to catch them when they come to the Center. Be sure to also have correct equipment and you must be good at setting the right exposure as well.
