Big Chiques Hunting Club in Lycoming County, Pa., was founded a century ago by a group of men who wanted fellowship and a good place to target white-tailed deer, bears, turkeys and other game.
They met on the banks of Chiques Creek in Lancaster County, where they all lived, to formulate their plan.
