Welcome to Misty Mountain Trophy Hunting

where some mornings in the Fall and Spring, you look down on the clouds. At 2,000 feet the air is a little colder or warmer depending on the day or the season. MISTY MOUNTAIN is where mountains, hollows, wind, water, and clouds all meet.

Some who've been here say you can see fifty miles. I'm not sure what fifty miles looks like, but I know on a clear day you can see out over four counties. Some say it's the mountain that makes them grow bigger, tougher, and wiser here. Others who have experienced the misty mornings, breathed the damp air, wiped droplets of moisture from their glasses and cheeks or watched it settle on their gun barrel say it's the mist that makes them big.

Hence, we offer you our MISTY MOUNTAIN. We offer this mystical, magical place to hear your heart pound and catch your breath. We offer you our MISTY MOUNTAIN to live your hopes and dreams and to become one with the mountain, the mist, and the great one. We offer you our MISTY MOUNTAIN to be as your father and your father's forefathers, where we offer you to be the hunter.

MISTY MOUNTAIN comprises over 2,000 acres of family owned hardwood ridges, hollows, pines, hemlock bottoms, swamps, and clear-cut thickets. Elevations range from 1,400 to 2,000 feet. Over 135 acres of feed plots consisting of clover, soybeans, sunflowers, sorghum, corn and brassica dot the area from one to three acres in size.

Most of the property has been under Quality Deer Management since 1997 and only hunted privately. Year 2007 is the first full year MISTY MOUNTAIN Trophy Deer Hunting, Inc. is booking hunts for deer, turkey, bear, and coyotes with optional fishing also available. We have booked hunts on a part-time basis for the past three years for deer only.

We border more than 20,000 acres of remote, mountainous Pennsylvania State Game lands and 3,000 acres of private Quality Deer Management properties. Bucks harvested over the past nine years score into the 160's P & Y and have weighed in excess of 258 pounds. Sightings of bucks in the 170-180 class P & Y have been made during the two most recent seasons.

Phil and Deb Schreyer are not new to the outfitting business. Phil has over 10 years experience guiding deer and turkey hunts both in high fence and fair chase/wild operations. In the mid 1990's, Phil and his wife, Deb, purchased their Misty Mountain property and immediately began a Quality Deer Management program that has expanded to more than 2,000 acres. For the past several years, they have offered deer and turkey hunts on a limited basis as they continued to build their log home, guest lodging, and expand and develop their Q.D.M. properties.

They also own and operate a General Store that carries everything from gasoline, groceries, and large food menu to hunting and fishing supplies and licenses, camping items, hardware, gift and craft items, and outdoor storage buildings. Their rural business setting hosts thousands of hunters and fisherman yearly who visit the more than 100,000 acres of Pennsylvania State Game lands, parks, and forests in the surrounding area.

All hunts include a continental style breakfast, lunch, and family style home cooked dinner. For those hunters who wish to stay in the stand all day, a lunch will be packed for them.

Hunters and guests at MISTY MOUNTAIN will stay in a new guest house to be completed in time for the Spring 2007 turkey season. Rooms are bunkhouse style and private bedrooms for couples and/or parent/child hunts are also available. The guest house is located next to the main lodge facility. Satellite TV, internet access, telephone, and washer/dryer facilities are available. MISTY MOUNTAIN is a smoke-free facility. No smoking or tobacco products are permitted inside any building. For additional info, read our Alcohol, Tobacco and Drug Policy.

MISTY MOUNTAIN is located in Northern Cambria County, Pennsylvania about 45 minutes from State College/Penn State University and the State College Airport. We are 30 minutes north of Altoona, PA and about 50 minutes from the Altoona/Blair County Airport. Should guests wish to fly into either of these airports, rental vehicles are available. We can also arrange pick-up and drop off if needed for an additional fee.

Deposits may be made by personal check, however final payment upon arrival must be made in cash, travelers checks, money orders, or cashiers checks. Personal checks will not be accepted for final payment.
