I've got at least 10 PP. Dad's camp is in the center of elk country. Last time I was up I saw more elk than deer. If you get drawn, you will kill a nice one. I apply for bull only

If anyone draws a tag, let me know. I can point you to some good areas in and around Driftwood/Emporium. Good luck on the draw!

If you draw, send me a message. You may want to get your archery tag too. I can give you some spots to get a mountain deer. Tough hunting, but a lot of fun....

I have been in the draw since they started the whole thing. For non-residents don't hold your breathe for a tag. They have been drawing an average of 2 non-residents a year, they first started out reserving a portion of the tags for non-residents according to the proportion of general license sales. I have a camp in McKean county and my family as been up there since 1950....

Where about in McKean County? Dad's camp is in Driftwood, Cameron County, but we traveled through McKean a lot heading up to Canada. Our camp has been there since 1970, but my Grandfather started hunting up there in 1921. Sadly, he is no longer with us....
Trying to remember the name of the hunting store we used to stop at to get licenses. Somewhere in Port Allegheny?

I remember a few years back sitting in Wee Bulls Pub and seeing a herd of 30 elk in the playground fence across from 555. Watched them through the window for an hour (and a beer or two).

Man I miss it up there. Just haven't been able to make the trip in the past couple years. Last trip my buddy and I walked up within 30 yards of two monster bulls. He is a long time guide with time in CO and Canada. He could cow call with his mouth. Up off of Ridge Road.

Grice's is awesome, been there a few times. Checkout Denny's. Tons of wing and pizza options and a burger challenge is offered as well! I miss Gramone's (The Big G) in Emporium. Checked in my first buck decent buck there in 1991 or so......Love that part of the state.....

Driftwood. We hunt east branch of Hick's Run, along the Pepper Hill Trail off of Ridge road, and the mountainside west of Driftwood. We used to hunt lick island run, but dad is getting older, and that is some steep climbs!

Dad used to hunt long range for deer and bear from the lookouts in Montour Run, but getting game out of there is too tough for him. Some big deer and bears were taken from between 330-880 yards from those lookouts

We had a camp near Tionesta in Forest County.

We have a couple of camps right outside of Kane. I make the trip for the late MZ season every year and we have been going up for spring turkey the last 6-7 years now too. Before I moved down here we would go up every weekend in the fall turkey season, hunt Saturday and then cut wood Sunday getting ready for the deer seasons..... I can remember when we could not go int0 the woods before 9 am, same as small game hunting.... I also remember as a kid we would go up there for a week in the summer and spotting deer at night it was nothing to spot 100 deer in a single field...
