Interesting choice to me, and perhaps others. Care to elaborate a bit?

"Allegheny NF in Pennsylvania" That's some beautiful woods. I grew up hunting there. We had a camp in the heart of it. Here or the Adirondacks. I hunt the ANF a bunch in PA and there are some pretty remote areas (for the East) and with fewer hunters and the antler restrictions enacted years ago there are some huge bucks roaming these woods - fun hunting but with remote means a lot of work when you get one……but that’s half the fun!! Also some of the state forests in the center part of the state (Sproul and Moshannon). PennDog Our camp was near Cherry Grove/ Sheffield, but we've bear hunted Sproul for decades. That's a pretty rugged area for PA.

Got to ask. If you travel around killing deer in different states, what do you do with all the meat while traveling?
Fall seven times, stand up eight.

Well I am from back east ( Virginia) but I live in Oregon...
so to answer that question, in regards to where I live...
where would I go to hunt Black Tail.... either in the back yard, or off the front porch, or on public land, about a mile from my place.. in ANY direction.

Interesting choice to me, and perhaps others. Care to elaborate a bit? I'll elaborate. Don't come to Fl. There are some WMAs in North Fl that are OK, but I'm sure other places are better. In the peninsular part of the state, Any good areas are quota and take years to draw. I've killed some decent bucks in Fl, big for the area, but they would be mediocre or probably passed in other parts of the south east.
It might be lonely at the top, but it's a bitch at the bottom.

If you want miles of public land without any hunting pressure and the chance for mature bucks well over 200# then the Adirondacks or Northern Maine. Fresh snow, broken in boots, patience and good woodsmanship skills .

This year a blood moon nov 8th. Vermont. Benoit country I hadn’t seen that yet! Maybe I’ll stay home & do my thing. If you want miles of public land without any hunting pressure and the chance for mature bucks well over 200# then the Adirondacks or Northern Maine. Fresh snow, broken in boots, patience and good woodsmanship skills . Love my home region - I hunt around Mt Marcy & have done ok as long as we had snow. You’re spot on with the broken in boots.
