Local hunter bags elk
q One of the chosen few

reintroduced animals

JACKSON TWP. - Frank Lipski con-
siders himself a fortunate man. The
long-time hunter, “too long” he re-
sponds when asked how many years
he’s been chasing wildlife with a gun,
won the lottery. Not a game that pays
millions of dollars, but one that gave
him the opportunity to join 29 other
hunters for the first Pennsylvania elk
season in 70 years.
“I just got lucky,” Lipski said of his
good fortune. His name was drawn out
of about 50,000 applications for the
week-long season that started Novem-
ber 12, and he was one of 27 hunters
to actually bag an elk.
Lipski spotted the cow, which was es-
timated at 485 pounds live weight, near
the end of the first day. After trudging
over hill and dale checking out loca-
tions, he was almost ready to call it a
day. His guide, Bob Decker, suggested
one last look near a stream bed, and as

Former Lake-Lehman field
hockey standout Colleen Mahon
has been named the MAC Free-
dom Conference Rookie of the
Year.
Mahon is the third consecu-
tive Drew University Ranger to
=ceive the award. Mahon start-
cd all 22 games at left wing and
scored nine goals and three as-
sists. Her nine goals and 21
points = set Drew freshman
records.
In Drew’s final regular-season
conference game, Mahon scored
two goals in a 3-0 win at FDU-
Madison, which clinched the
regular season Freedom Confer-
ence title. In the conference title
me against Scranton, she
peored two goals in a 3-2 win.

they walked in thick cover Lipski spot-
ted the hindquarters of a large animal
in some trees. “Theyre big animals,”
Lipski said. “Their size is amazing.”
Decker noticed a calf lying in front of
the cow, confirming that Lipski's quar-
ry was an adult, and suggested he take
a shot. Unable to see the elk clearly,
Lipski waited for a better look, but
when none came squeezed off a round
from his 30-year-old .308.
“If it was a deer, a hit would have
knocked it over,” Lipski said, but the
elk remained still. It moved into clearer
view after a few minutes, and he was
able to see blood coming from a wound.
Decker told him to hit it again, Lipski
fired, and this time the elk took a cou-
ple of steps and then collapsed. A clos-
er look revealed that the first shot had
cut through both lungs and exited the
elk’s carcass.
After field dressing the animal, Lipski
and Decker headed to the check-in sta-
tion, only to arrive 15 minutes after
closing. That wasn’t a problem,he said,
because Game Commission personnel
went out of their way to assist the
hunters, in this case taking a team of
people and equipment out to bring in
the carcass, which was about 600
