Late season archery hunting trip

Hunt4Life23 · 09-30-2009, 02:03 PM

Hey guys now that me and my one hunting buddy are in our sophomore and junior years of college we hardly have any time to hunt with eachother or even hunt at all for that matter. We got talking and were thinking of taking a hunting trip over christmas break during late season archery. Basically because money is limited we want to be able to hunt without a guide for not much money other than travel and tags and still have a chance to shoot some big bucks. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what state would be good for this or even a specific area that could work for us. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dont know how far you want to travel. I see in your avatar you are from PA. Maybe try Ohio.

we are willing to travel any distance

I just threw out Ohio as it would be close .

for one your choices will be limited to where you can buy over the counter non res. tags. would start by seeing who offers that and then go from there.

hey im hunt4lifes buddy we are both from pa and with late season being the one time we both have off from school we figured it would be a perfect time to get a small trip together, hunt new lands and hopefully chase some nice bucks. we were talking about iowa or ohio as they are not too far and have some great potential for some bruisers but we aren't worried as much about distance as we are the deer hunting itself we are trying to find out as much as we can before we make the plunge into tags and everything, it would be like a week long hunt on public lands. We are pretty fair archery hunters and have had good luck in the past on hunting new lands but we are far from being great and are looking for any advice, tips, past diy trips, do’s and dont’s that we might encounter on our trip. Thanks!

Can you still get non resident Iowa tags??

Perhaps western /northwestern Ky.

We can negotiate a late season price no problem.. We have ground in Pike and Brown counties.. with the economy so rough we don't have many guys coming in this year so hunting pressure will be VERY LOW.. so late season is expected to be great on our properties... either pm me or email me and we can negotiate a trip to fit your needs..
