Pennsylvania Elk

Incredible sounds of Eastern Elk during the Autumn rut.

Elk have been reintroduced in the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and others. During early autumn nights, the bull Elk make a variety of loud calls known as bugling. These 1000-pound giants, with massive antlers, bugle to attract cows and defend their territories. Feel the spirit of the wild return, as you listen to the musical calls of these majestic animals echo through the hills of Central Pennsylvania. These exquisite stereo recordings have a background of late summer insects, owls, and area wildlife, with no added music. Anyone who enjoys Elk will cherish this album.

Track List:

Winslow Hill: 12:52 min.

Winslow Hill is the most popular Elk viewing area in Pennsylvania and is where Pennsylvania’s reintroduction program started. Amidst a background of late summer insects and distant Barred Owls, listen to the majestic bulls bugle throughout the hills. Nearby, a large bull can be heard calling and attacking shrubbery. Listen for the distinctive calls of the cow Elk during the commotion. Later, two distant bulls meet with a clash of antlers in a territorial battle.

Titans Battle: 30:00 min.

The massive bulls roam the forests, staking their territory by bugling and fighting. Hear two bulls meet in a nearby grassy opening as they wail and crash antlers in a long, fierce battle. Listen for the White-tailed Deer as they vacate the area. The wailing looser moves off through the forest and encounters yet another bull. This time he backs off, and turns directly towards Natureguy, just before he disappears into the darkness.

Valley of Giants: 19:30 min.

On a crisp September night as the leaves are gently falling, the insects chirp, and the Southern Flying Squirrels can be heard scampering and screeching. The bull Elk are also prowling this valley as they bugle with a variety of tones.

Night Echoes 08:20 min.

After Midnight, as the temperature drops below 40 degrees, the insects murmur slowly. The wind is calm and it is exceptionally quiet. Barred and Screech Owls can be heard from far away. The bugling of the Elk can be heard echoing through the valley.

Total Run Time: 70:42 min.
