<span style="font-size: 100%;">These words begin a 2hr.-42min. documentary of Pennsylvania's Elk herd, which was shot over a period of thirteen years. The film is organized into segments.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 100%;">The first deals with the overall wildlife situation in Pennsylvania and the agencies responsible for administering public lands and rules and regulations pertaining to wildlife.</span></div>

The second segment covers the situation on Winslow Hill from 1995 to the present and deals with the "elk culture" present on Winslow Hill, that was perhaps best personified by Claude Nye, better known as "Dr. Perk". It covers such issues as collaring elk and giving them human names. There are descriptions of the major viewing areas, with a segment dealing with the reclamation project in the area known as The Saddle. The film is also a basic primer on the natural history of the animal.</div>
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><br />
It portrays the life cycle of the elk from spring through winter with a special focus on the rut, with stunning footage of cows, calves and bulls in different stages of development, along with many of the largest bulls the state has produced.<br />

<span style="font-size: 100%;">It is not; however, just another elk film. It also features a large amount of scenic footage and a wide variety of other wildlife that is found in the Pennsylvania woods.<br />
