Thanks! We do try to do what we can to make the habitat as conducive for both quality wildlife habitat and hunting opportunities as possible. We have had at least one volunteer work day each year during each of the past four years the area has been game lands. We have had volunteers come to Elk County from as far away as Dauphin, Luzerne, Bradford, Allegheny and Washington Counties just to spend a day working on the game lands. Of course we also have volunteers coming out from the closer counties too but many of them can also be found hunting there through the season.
I have checked hunters from all over Pennsylvania, a couple from Ohio and New York and even one from Florida hunting pheasants on this game lands. Some of the local hunters can be found working their dogs for kids they are mentoring pretty much every day after school throughout the season.
Many of those kids then come out and work on the habitat projects when we have the workdays.
