Do you have a no kill-no pay policy?
Yes, if you do not get an animal you only forfeit your $100 deposit.

Where is the lodge located?
3261 Elk Lick Rd Everett Pa. 15537. Maps and detailed routes are also available on our Diections page. FYI, a GPS will get you here, but sometimes the long way around.
Can I book a hunt and change my mind on the animal hunted once I get there?
Yes it is your hunt. The choice is yours. Many of our guest choose to take additional animals once they see our ranch and all we have to offer.
Can I harvest more than one animal?
Yes
Is there a place to shoot my gun or bow?
Yes
What are your hunting seasons?
There are no seasons. We hunt year round.
Do I need a hunting license for PA.?
No license is required on a hunting ranch.
What weapons can I use?
Gun, bow, muzzleloader, pistol, ANYTHING, it is your hunt.
What should I tip the guide?
That is likely the hardest decision you will make all day. Our guides give 100%. They are here at The Wilderness because they like the outdoors and like to hunt. In our guides eyes a tip is a bonus and is greatly appreciated, but a heart felt thank you means friendship and a job well done.
Is skinning and quartering of the animal included in the price of the hunt?
Yes, skinning, quartering and the meat put in your coolers. Ice is available at an additional fee.
Do you have butchering?
Yes we have butchering that includes having the meat cut up the way you want it, wrapped, labeled and quick frozen.
Do you offer taxidermy?
Yes, but we do not advertise this because many of our clients and friends are taxidermist and we would never want to offend them, the great work they do and the service they provide to the hunting industry.
Do you rent your lodge in the off season?
Yes, it has been used for engagement celebrations, honeymoons, bachelor parties, birth days, private getaways, meetings, social events, church youth groups, men’s prayer groups, women’s originations and by hunters just traveling through.
