In the late 1990's my family fenced in 600 acres of Pennsylvania forest. For awhile it was used to take my father through his retirement, but he has since passed. This property is amazing and while you may not like the idea of fenced hunting, this place has been a joy to be part of. The elk on it have been born without contact with man for many, many generations and are extremely elusive. This is not like the places that stock elk that were raised in a pen and then hunt them. The fact is, while they may not be able to migrate to the next county, if you kick one up and don't get it, you will likely not see it again in the cover of the thick forests. The property has a 5 mile long perimeter fence 10' tall, only. No smaller fenced areas. I know of no other place on the eastern half of the USA where someone can hunt elk that are not tame, or require a lottery to get the chance at one. Listed here is our website. Should you know of any interested people or even groups, please connect them with our website. The lodge has 7 small bedrooms. Thank you for looking! www.highlandranchusa.com

I let the taxpaying public in the other 49 states fund my hunting.

Thank you for the snarky reply Bluefish but if you read (or understood) my post you would already have known otherwise. Our place has been for MY hunting for the past many years with few exceptions. The elk live with little contact with mankind and are born here like the past many generations. They were not put in for a hunt after being raised in a pen. Its actually a pretty nice setup for someone who wants their own wild elk hunting in the eastern USA and can afford it. I know of many places like you describe. This is not that.

As you see no buddy has interest in a high dollar fenced property to 'hunt Elk'
Maybe some rich liberaL from Philly or NYC will bite to entertain their clients
Not happening here.......
Again too much public land in the western USA to have a real Elk hunt
Move on..........

Ahhhh, let’s pile on the guy who manages his land different from the way you would do it. Crucify the bastid. He can’t be worthy to post here.

Beautiful set up and pretty country. Not the way I hunt, but to each their own path. Sounds like an ethical owner/hunter. Good luck with your sale Lj

Nice place but out of my price range. But….. if it was mine, I would certainly hunt it and not apologize for doing it either.
You have some really nice bulls there.

Its simply wishfull thinking to think that place will bring anywhere near that price. Ive been hunting in that part of Pa since 1947. 600 acres is just a small patch in that area. A couple of years ago i wanted to go back to the place i hunted my first day of the buck season 75 years earlier. As the crow flies it would be maybe 40 miles from this place, just a bit north of Trout Run. I drove from Liberty to Slate run on rt. 414, and found that at least 75 percent of the camps along the road to be closed up. The Slate Run Hotel had one hunter, who happens to be a close friend. Along the way i stopped at Wolfes store for gas and some lunch, i was the only customer for about the hour i spent there, on the first day of buck mind you. I had dinner at the Black Forest Inn on Rt 44, and again the place was almost deserted. Our present camp is very near Driftwood, which is about 20 miles from Benezette, the epicenter of the Pa elk area. We are also bordering the 50.000 acre Quehanna wild life area. Point is that there are millions of acres of land open for hunting in that region. The only thing lacking is hunters.

I'm sure the lack of hunters in that area is due to the lack of deer in many areas in PA. The dramatic reduction in the deer herd is the result of our Game Commission's slaughter the does policy.

Shure as hell ain't burning the ammo that used to be used. More shots fired by lunchtime on the first day of buck 35 years ago than you hear all season now. Hit the Gamelands to see how many vehicles. Almost none.

So there's a bear in that fence? Or has he found a way through/over/under it?
