why would anyone ever ask a question here? Whoops, I just did. lol Lol. I asked a question about shooting deer in the "Hunter's Campfire" section. You'd think I'd get more knowledgeable answers than what I did. Just a bunch of dudes trying push their egos behind a keyboard. Should have expected it. Whoops.

Some of The local guys around here guide on this "preserve" https://www.cherryridgewhitetails.com/The other preserve in our area was [bleep] down due to cwd.. My opinion.... pay for a Texas hunt. Shoot a few hogs while you're there too. But that's me
Hunt...

As many have noted, TX is the answer you seek. Low fence or high, you’ll find it along with hogs and perhaps exotics. Just be warned: TX is addictive. My brothers and I have made the trip for years with our sons. I actually enjoy bow hunting hogs as much as, if not more than deer.

Make sure the "ranch has them stump broke" before giving your deposit! Never experienced ranch hunting in the east, must be really exciting.

If you're serious, and not just trolling, why not try TX or some other state with good numbers of large whitetail "trophies" and book a guided hunt?
Check out success rates, get contacts for previous clients, and have an actual hunt. You mentioned having caught the bug early in life. Did the bug evolve into just wanting a large rack on the wall because your others are too small and now "boring" (I think that's your word)?
Personally, I certainly can't see it..................................
but to each their own I guess.

Does it have to be PA?
I have to think paying a guide on public or private land, even on a “low fence” type place would get you close to what you’re looking for. A real “trophy” buck at preserve is going to cost you a metric schit ton.
Camp is where you make it.

Don’t short yourself... I caribou hunted the mulchatna herd b4 most heard of it. I hunted the Gila for elk , drew a license the first try, b4 the rags wrote it up. I hunted the Yellowstone River for whitetail b4 realtree got going..... Every hunt in my life has been experience over inches. I killed some good ones, nothing jaw dropping, but every experience surpassed bone inches. If you let yourself get caught up in chasing inches, you will always be unsatisfied. I did work for a man that owned a forge. He went on a “preserve hunt” for elk. He had that bull up on his wall. The “hunt” he told made that average bull even less. No horse bells ringing in the cool mountain air. No elk bugles echoing at night. No sparks off the horses hoofs riding in, in the am...... my 5x4 Wyoming wilderness bull punked his bull’s memory. I spoke with one of the most respected brokers of whitetail hunts in Texas. He made a hunt there sound like ordering a hamburger. Plain burger (130”) =x burger with lettuce ( 140”) =x+ burger lettuce tomato (150”) x++ You get the point..... Don’t sell yourself short. Anything that means anything doesn’t come easy. And it shouldn’t. Book a trip to Alberta. Or Saskatchewan, or the milk river.... and if you fail, you failed at something...... My .02 Worth what you paid for it.
Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....

While most Texans won't admit it, too often hunting in Texas is like going to a whore house.

Not my cup of tea but....there's a place near me but I've never seen his advertisement, I'll see what I can find out. Cherry Ridge is close-by but I think it's closed this year. Pick up a copy of PA Outdoor News. IIRC, there are ads in it.

Texans don’t hunt. They just shoot a stationary deer munching on corn

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? High fence ?????????
