Cherry Ridge has been outfitting deer and elk hunts since 1995 with over 1,000 successful clients to our credit. We boast an almost 100% success rate with many guests returning year after year to enjoy our family-like services. Many deer, turkey, and bear hunters have enjoyed our hospitality and succeeded in harvesting a trophy. Many young men and women have harvested their first big game animal here at the “Ridge”. Our facilities also accommodate handicapped individuals or older guests that require special needs. Your satisfaction is our number one priority!
Cherry Ridge ranch is located in Northwestern Pennsylvania surrounded by thousands of acres of the Allegheny National Forest. We have 1,000 acres of prime hardwood forest, clear-cuts and stream bottoms to hunt the most highly prized and sought-after game animals in North America…the majestic elk and whitetailed deer. This pristine mountain environment is home to our trophy elk and deer herd, producing heavy, massive antlers with large body weights
Within our hunt area we have many different gun box locations in mature hardwoods, clear cuts and creek bottoms. Also available are ladder stands placed in strategic areas for our bowhunting guests. Personal climbers are permitted also, however, all are required to wear tree safety belts.
At Cherry Ridge, hunters will enjoy some of the best whitetail deer hunting found anywhere. Both bow hunters and gun hunters are welcome at Cherry Ridge, September through Mid-February we specialize in trophy deer hunting. You and your guide will choose from over 20 different gun box locations placed strategically to accommodate varying wind conditions and movement patterns of deer.
Our deer herd at Cherry Ridge consist of numerous bucks in the 130 to 170+ class. These bucks are 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 years old and may weigh over 250 pounds. We try to keep our deer herd in a 2-to-1 buck-to-doe ratio. Each year our herd grows larger and more mature, and in the next few seasons we expect many 170 plus class bucks to be harvested.
