Welcome!! Along with SOO, I would also recommend Brad Snow at Killbuck Outfitters and Ben Rising at Wicked Ridge. I've never hunted with either but I do know Brad personally. Pretty good guy and they shoot some giants over there!!!

Welcome.....its nice to see another western PA representative around these parts. What counties do you hunt and is it mostly private or do you hunt PA public lands? Those bucks in your picture look like very nice examples of PA whitetail.

I would put Public land PA hunting as probably one of the most challenging hunting ventures one could attempt. The deer are a different breed because all the pressure from hunting. The one in your avatar on the far left was that from PA?

The large deer always go off grid during archery and you don't see them again unless someone gets lucky during rifle season. I have spent many years hunting PA whitetail and seen many large deer but once season comes end up having to fill my tag on a "typical" PA 8 point.

Yeah that's last yrs deer . I had him patterned all summer . Every 3 days he would walk past my stand in the am but I always ended up having to work or not being able to get out . I ended up shooting him in archer but lost him because of some atv riders jumped him after he bedded . Ended up getting him in rifle season . Didn't know it was him till I walked up on him .
