Tioga County PA
 

How's the whitetail hunting up there? I know that there are plenty of Elk. Wife and I were up there on vacation this past September and fell in love with the area so much...especially Wellsboro area...that we have decided to pull up stakes here in Delaware and head up there sometime in '07. Sure would like to hear from anyone that lives up there, about the whitetail hunting and living up there in general. Thanks...Dave

grandfathers hunting camp is up there that i can't join.... i love that area up there fishing in hills creek is great. and the area is cool too... see alot of deer up there but not half the amount i used to see 10 yrs up there... just try and get on private land up there like farms and so on... unless you get your own land then manage it your self.. good luck up there would love to be able to pick up and move up there.

Dave I love it there too, we are going Sat to Clinton County, really wilderness where we are , a bunch of Smyrna guys and myself have a camp up there, you probably know all of them....

OK, I see Clinton is just south of Tioga. It is wilderness up there...that's the reason why the wife and I want to move up there. Getting too darn crowded down here. Ron,do you happen to live on the corner of Greers cnr. and Dexter cnr. roads? If you do, we both know someone...Franny Cole. Any of those Smyrna guys work at GM?

Bow4,
We dont have any elk in Tioga County except in game farms. Deer, they are not as prevelant as they once were but if you hunt hard they are here. We have a lot of state game land as well as state forest so there is plenty of places to hunt. We also have a lot of turkeys.
We live 4 miles outside wellsboro, so real familiar with the area, any questions I can answer let me know. We do love it here. We moved back here from California after 20 years of military service.
If you want to look for preexisitng homes, go to realtor.com. The Wellsboro zip is 16901, Blossburg is 16912, and Mansfield is 16933

I used to live in Wellsboro. There is some nice farm country out 283 from town, I took quite a few good bucks in there back in the mid 90's.
