Ive hunted that around that area, for the last 4 years, as a non res from Pa. In my experiances most of the state forest aren't worth hunting, ive always seen very few deer. if any, and getting permission is very tough. i got permission from a couple of Amish farms, but they have a tendancy to wipe out most of the herd year round. Believe me you will get tired of seeing POSTED signs. heck alot of the property owner have the signs right on their front porch. I got a tag for the 8r section this year because of the 100% would get one, boy was that a mistake, There isn't any land in that zone that i could find that wasn't posted and out of the 15 places i stopped, i was shot down on all of them. If you dont have any luck in elmira, Meads Creek state forest, which is about 30 mins north has some pretty good land bording private land,
