My father and I decided to have some habitat improvement done on the 100 acres we have in Bradford County. We brought in a bioligist and had them recommend some things, and the #1 thing they said was selective logging
Your Dad runs a deer farm in Bradford Co. ,so why would you hunt in Huntingdon Co?
Because I used to lived in Huntington County for about 3 years and I have a lot of good friends and family there with some great land. Hunting is as much about the experience with friends and family for me as it is actually shooting and seeing deer. I usually archery hunt Bradford county 5-10 days per year and then spend the opening week (or at least several days of it) of rifle in Huntington County. And my father doesn't own a deer farm *******, we simply have a nice piece of land that produces quality deer in respectable numbers when compared to the rest of the state of PA. We have worked hard for that and we BOTH pay the taxes on it, and we BOTH inherited it, he is retired and doesn't have to work anymore these days so he lives there.
With all that said, I am sorry that you don't seem to have good hunting in your area and that is why in the post I entered above I mentioned that I know and recognize that the rest of the state isn't this fortunate to have good hunting. I know that HR has drastically affected a lot of the state's WMU's and hunters in negative ways. I wish everyone could have a good spot but that is not possible these days in PA. I simply entered my initial post to let people know that it wasn't the entire state that was horrible hunting some of it is still very good. It is much of the state though and it is unfortunate.
