[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 714108, member: 12443"] well frank you may be aware that area is also extremly popular with long range hunters. all of that is done there using large tripod mounted binnoculars. trust me when i say there are no remote areas that arent hunted in that manner. if you want to see elk go back to town. its true they are attempting to get the elk into those areas. they are creating large food plots which is something they never thought about for the deer. the vast majority of back dirt roads and all of the many pipelines in the area have been gated. got to keep at least most hunters out so as not to disturb the elk. quehanna is 50 000 plus acres. thats a helluva lot more than the 15 000 acre ex strip mines your referring to. did you know the area of the visitor center had been strip mines also? in the early 50s the corrupt pa. polititions thought it would be ok to chase over 300 camps off the area now known as quehanna. our camp was included in that. then they turned it over to a private corporation for the purpose of developing jet enjines. curtis wright aircraft. the whole area including over 75 miles of pristine trout streams was completly fenced off and all access blocked to the taxpayers. who by the way still owned the land. they did alot more than test jet enjines there as it turned out. after about 5 years guess what, the whole thing went capoot. another good government idea gone sour. so thats how quehanna came to be. the quehanna highway from karthaus to medix run had been a dirt road up till that point. same as the caldonia pike from frenchville to caldonia still is. some of the old camps are still along that road as you get nearer to medix run and beyond what had been stolen. now theyve come up with another good idea. shoot off most of the deer, gate the area off (again) and promote it as a tourist area for guys like frank to go see some elk. sorry frank i can feel your excitment over seeing and hearing those elk. the first elk i ever saw was in yellowstone in the early 70s. now i have to be carefull where i step in my own yard. the price for that is too high in the minds of many of us.
