Allegheny National Forest (ANF) is as remote and far away from people as I could find in Pa. Deer are smaller but taste better than the agriculture fed ones.
Ill beg to differ, ag fed animals eating corn, beans, etc. taste a lot better than deer eating browse, twigs, & grass. No they don't. Those dang things taste like beef eating all that ag stuff.

I guess I'm spoiled. Pretty much all of the green, red, gray, and white land is my "government woods". Some of the white is private, but only 4.2%, and the rest is State owned public land that can be hunted. BTW, you coud cut this State into two States, and Texas would then still only be the third largest State.

I like to still or jump hunt the brush, although glassing in more open terrain can also be fun and effective. And tracking down deer or running down elk is a real blast. Better be in good shape though to run down elk until they are standing there with their tongue hanging out, looking back to see what is chasing them.
Of course my first love of hunting is hound hunting, I've never hunted where you can run deer with dogs, but bears, lions and bobcats I won't hunt any way but with dogs. … got ourselves a sure enough Comanche here boys
