Pennsylvania shot its last native elk around 1877, then shipped in Yellowstone animals by rail starting in 1913 and let them loose in the emptied lumber country. The herd took a century to become a spectacle: 1,400 elk now, centered on the village of Benezette, where bulls bugle down the main street every September and the state built a viewing center for the traffic jam.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
