Trophy Whitetail Hunts in Pennsylvania at Gsell’s

Trophy Whitetail Hunts

At Gsell’s, we take pride in offering one of the most exclusive, professionally managed whitetail hunting experiences available. Specializing in trophy whitetail preserve hunts in Pennsylvania, we combine world-class genetics with premium accommodations and exceptional hospitality. Every detail of your hunt is designed with quality, comfort, and success in mind.

Record Book Deer from Trophy Whitetail Genetics

Trophy Whitetail Genetics

Our record book deer are produced from trophy whitetail genetics that are carefully cultivated with a strong focus on producing exceptional typical whitetail bucks, though our program also yields impressive non-typicals. Our two-and-a-half-year-old bucks average approximately 200 inches, with select bucks exceeding an extraordinary 300 inches.

A unique highlight of our breeding program is our prized line of pure white whitetail deer. These animals are not albinos, but naturally white deer; the result of over seven years of careful development. This line has become one of the most distinctive features of our deer herd and continues to produce remarkable bucks.

In terms of performance, whitetail bucks at Gsell’s hold a distinguished presence in the Safari Club International (SCI) record books, proudly claiming:

  • 48 of the Top 100 typical bucks

  • 5 of the Top 10

  • 11 of the Top 20

Our dedication to superior trophy whitetail deer genetics and meticulous management ensures a preserve hunt experience that offers both trophy potential and lasting memories.

Hunting Preserve

Our trophy whitetail deer hunting preserve spans approximately 500 acres of rolling hills, featuring a creek, a small pond, and rugged, rocky terrain with dense brush and mature hardwoods, providing ideal habitat and hunting conditions.

Throughout the preserve, we have strategically placed premium hunting blinds, each accommodating up to three guests. Every hunting blind features bow and rifle windows, offering versatility for all hunting preferences. Ground-level access ensures convenience and accessibility for all guests, including those with mobility challenges; no climbing is required.

One of our most popular features is the cabin blind, a converted rustic cabin designed to comfortably accommodate up to ten people. Complete with a fireplace, the cabin blind is perfect for groups wishing to relax, observe, and enjoy the hunt together in a warm, inviting setting.
