Tired of shooting basket racks and nothing worth mounting. Looking to pay to do my first guided hunt and shoot a really nice typical wall hanger this season.
Does anyone here have first hand experience with ranches in this general area? What are some of the best ones?

Some Mennonites close by in Kintucky will let you poke your barrel thru the wire and pop one.

To each their own. Personally I’d rather put the basket rack antlers of a deer I shot on my own on my wall over a monster shot on a ranch.

Ohio has some big ones. Also Kentucky and Illinois. Might need a new gun for a couple of those.
I’m happy with scrags close to home. Might pay to hunt big ones on a farm, but zero interest in any sort of fenced deal.
What fresh Hell is this?

theres a place in bedford county call the wilderness. you can drive right up and pick your monster buck out from the parking lot. it will be mingling around with the monster elk. i personally would rather ass shoot a dink and drag it a mile but to each his own.

Is a ranch in NJ or PA even a thing?
Are you inquiring about a preserve?

Where did those younger bucks come from? Private or public land?

Are you inquiring about a preserve? Ranch, preserve. Whatever they want to call it. A place that does whitetail hunts where you can literally pick the one you want to shoot.

Good luck with your canned hunt search. Thanks. I realize it's canned and not a real hunt. I know the difference. Been doing it free range for too long to be disappointed this long. Getting tired of it after all the time and effort I put into it. I'll still gladly shoot for meat outside of a fence, though.

Here's a place in West Edmeston, NY I've heard of. I don't know anything about them other than I've seen their advertisements locally. https://www.wildwesttrophyhunts.com/
