Where do you look for hunting land for sale?

My wife and I reside in the Philly suburbs. I'm a big hunter, and I've been wanting to buy a little slice of land for ourselves somewhere in north central-ish PA. I've been browsing Zillow, but I'm wondering if there's a better method. Just curious if someone here has a resource they would share or give me some advice.

I have actually seen some interesting timber properties in the northern tier of Pa. on Facebook Marketplace. Some of them even seemed to be reasonably priced.

I keep running MLS searches with a set criterias through a realtor. Every time a property hits the MLS meeting my criteria (location, acreage, price range) i get an email. I've got one for bare land and another for houses on land over 20 acres. My best friend is a realtor, not sure if other realtors would make you sign an agreement to setup the same for you.

Ideal properties are not common. A guy typically has to act pretty fast once something hits the market. Most any property that has interested me and been priced right is gone within a week since ive been looking. Thus, being notified immediately when something is available is pretty important IMO.

This sounds heartless, but it's effective.
Look on County internet property sites. Find what you want owned by some seriously elderly folks (by googling owners). Contact their kids (found in obituaries for spouse).
Kids often sell land that makes parents roll over in their grave.
