Pennsylvania Youth Focused Hunting Lease

[Nuts]

This was posted with prior approval from Big Fin

If you have followed some of my post you may know that I have hunting leases in Potter County PA around Ulysses. We have the opportunity to add another farm that is up against what we have. So I am putting feelers out there to see if there is interest in adding a like minded family?

1. The focus is kids and providing opportunities for them
2. Everything about this will remain family friendly. PG. And setting a good example
3. Currently there is (5) families. Total hunters including kids ages 8-adult is (14)
   1. Guest kids are not only allowed but encouraged
4. There is no antler restrictions beyond PA rules where applicable. (zero antler restrictions for juniors)
5. The farms have more doe tags (red tags) then you could ever reasonably fill
6. The farms are vegetable farms. This year they are mostly green beans, Canola and potatoes. Some pumpkins. Zero livestock
7. Total acreage is 768 acres
8. Cost is a discussion. The right fit is more important to me

If you would be interested in discussing this please message me.

I wouldn't. There a bunch of liberal communists on that website.

Good for you, I hope you can find some like minded folks that will work with you.

I lease a farm for whitetail hunting, and too your point, I have gotten more kids into hunting simply because we have a place that they can learn and have some success. My only rule has been, shoot whatever makes you smile. We have killed some giants and some yearlings.

Providing opportunities is what it is about. So I added the farm. Have not added anyone yet. 1st hunt is Aug 1st with the goal of 20 doe. As the crops have gotten bigger bears are showing up now as well. Hoping we can get a junior on a bear in the Oct junior hunt.

So thought I would update on how this is going. Pretty happy with it. These are the organized hunts. Everyone is welcome to hunt outside of that as well. We were able to add a good family with 3 hunting boys.

Youth Season 10/23-25 Antlerless and Bear with a rifle. Archery Buck

• 5 Kids hunted
• 5 doe killed (2 were 1st ever deer)
• 3 doe missed
• 1 buck missed
• Many deer seen. Everykid saw 10-15 deer a day plus lots of Turkeys

Rut Hunt 11/7-11/8 Archery

• 4 kids hunted (parents were allowed to hunt this one)
• 1 doe killed
• 1 big buck missed
• lots of opportunities that wisely did not end in a shot
• Many deer seen. 10-15 per stand per day

Rifle Hunt 11/28-11/30

• There will be a group of 17 schedule for that hunt. Doe, Buck and Bear
• Mentors and parents paired with 1 or 2 hunters. I think the meat pole will need extended

• No goal on bucks but I suspect there will be plenty
