Be forewarned: The tallest peaks on both sides of the road top out at more than 2,200 feet! Adventurous, physically fit hunters looking for some solitude would do well to head for Emmons in Davidson Township north of Route 118, and then take Shingle Mill Road into the heart of SGL 13's southern quadrant.

There are several parking areas along the road as it follows West Branch Fishing Creek. Park and head north or south to the top of the steep ridges on either side of the road.

For hunters more inclined to stick to flatter country, the portion of SGL 13 north of Lopez Pond in Laporte Township, which is wedged between Route 220 to the west and Route 487 to the east, is a good bet. This area is riddled with mountaintop swamps and gently rolling hills.

Take Main Street from Lopez west from Route 487 until it turns into the unimproved game lands road called Seman Road. Hottenstein Road, which branches off Seman Road, provides access to the northernmost section of this part of SGL 13. The area between Hottenstein Road and Loyalsock Creek is remote and sure to hold plenty of deer.

Masonite Road, which also branches off Seman Road, leads south to the center of this quadrant of SGL 13 near Lopez Pond. Hunt for deer west of Masonite Road toward Old Berwick Turnpike.

The SGL 13 area in Davidson Township north of Grassy Hollow, north and west of Jamison City, is typical of the mountain deer habitat found through the Endless Mountains.

The easternmost end of Grassy Hollow Road is guarded on both sides by steep mountain ridges. Hike up the ridge on the north side of Grassy Hollow Road to hunt the oak benches there. Or, for a less strenuous hunt, follow Grassy Hollow Road to Fritz Camp Road. Park and head east into the flat mountaintop forest.

Just because you haven't yet filled all your deer tags doesn't mean it's time to give up. Some great deer hunting can still be found in Pennsylvania. And the time to go is now! Find more about Pennsylvania fishing and hunting at: PAgameandfish.com
