Game Commission, partner organizations thank hunters for important contributions.

Chalk it up as another win for wildlife conservation. 
With crowds estimated in the tens of thousands, this weekend’s Pennsylvania Great Outdoors Elk Expo again demonstrated the extraordinary interest in and support for the state’s elk. 
And, just as importantly, the money raised through the event – by those attending and thousands of others who weren’t there – will continue to work to benefit elk and their habitat, and bolster the public’s continued interest in Pennsylvania’s elk herd.
