Elk and Deer Hunting at its Finest

How it all began:
After too many trips out west eating cold sandwiches in a wet tent and wishing for a place with fewer hunters and more game, I figured there must be a better way. Highland Ranch is the result of that dream. It took 3 years to install the five-plus miles of 10'-tall, high-tensile game-fence surrounding the perimeter of this wooded paradise. The elk and deer have a tremendous amount of acreage with forested habitat to elude and evade, while offering any hunter a most challenging hunt. Elk and deer with vastly superior genetics roam free on this secluded ranch.
Located in Northcentral Pennsylvania

The Elk
Superior Genetics
The elk in this herd are many generations born here, in the wild, with little human contact. They are very wary with the exception of two, older hand-fed cows. Original herd sires and cows are from ai (artificial insemination) program from the largest known bulls on the planet. All original herd sires were well in excess of 400" (antlers) and only those known to pass on their antler genetics were used. The bull in this photo is only 4 years old. Their antlers get bigger every year until about 8 years old.
White Elk
6 years ago we brought in a very rare white cow elk. This elk is white but not an albino as you can see from the brown nose and brown eyes on her calf in this photo. White elk are very rare and this photo is of the second white calf she has had. There are now 6 white elk on our ranch.
The Deer
200" upgrade to our herd
Many years ago we brought in genetics from bucks that scored over 200" in antlers. That combined with the great genetics from the original herd has provided the basis for our herd of whitetail deer. In the winter the deer and elk both feed on baleage comprised of alfalfa, clover and other broadleaf hay.
VISION
Private Paradise or Turn-Key Business
This opportunity is limited only by your vision. It can be a private world-class big game paradise or a turn-key hunting business that comes with an experienced Ranch Manager. There is a potential for off-season photo-safaris, a retreat or even a trail-riding setup complete with miles of road system already constructed. No matter what your vision is, the opportunity to own a private ranch as unique as this is rare indeed.
