Will Friday the 13th be Lucky For PA Hunters?

This Friday is Friday the 13th, and—all superstitions aside—it’s going to be a lucky one for 86 Pennsylvania hunters.

That’s because it’s the day the state Game Commission will issue its elk licenses for 2013 during a drawing at its headquarters in Harrisburg.

It’s a pretty exclusive club to get into.  Each year, the commission gets tens of thousands of people apply for an elk license, but only issues a relative handful. 

The commission says the up side for those who aren’t chosen is that everytime you enter, you get a preference point for the following year’s drawing.

If you’ve applied, but can’t make it to Harrisburg, you can watch the drawing live on the Game Commission’s website,www.pgc.state.pa.us.
