I got 2 in 3N, not that ever use them....but just incase I saw an albino doe or something cool.

I really have no idea. If you said $100K it wouldn't surprise me. If you said you did most of the work yourself and it cost $15K, it wouldn't surprise me. Nontheless, looks good and more importantly added value to your home.

Nice, how much that cost you approx? $100K?

I cock my 200lb Xbow with the rope, they say it makes it 1/2 the weight, so 100lb. I cock it before I walk into the woods in the dark. Once I get to my spot, I sit down, and load an arrow (bolt). I feel very comfortable shooting at a deer up to 40 yards. Don't think I would take a shot at one past that. I am sighted in dead-on at 25 yards. Anything under 25 yards I aim a little lower. At 40 yards I am only 4-5" low. I know the NYS crossbow rules say you shouldn't walk with a bolt loaded, but that is meraly a suggestion. I still hunt for deer with my crossbow just like I do with my shotgun.

Yup, and vice-versa....I get tempted to move upstate, but then I wouldn't be able to afford to go on 5 hunting trips this year where I need to fly.

I wish I could live in Dutchess, hell of a lot cheaper than Westchester and even Putnam. Just too far from NYC (work).

I own a 900sq. foot 1BR co-op in Westchester County that I paid $200K for. My taxes are just under $4K a year. The condo's across the street are $350-$600K for 1-2BR, with taxes around $9K.

Try $15-$25K in taxes for 1/4 acre in Westchester or Putnam County. Even $7-10K in taxes for condo.

To each their own. I am very happy with my Excalibur. Like I said, "If you bust a string on a hunting trip, you just put a new one on yourself. If you bust a string on a compound crossbow, you need to get to a bow press/bow shop."

Yes, you are correct. This house is right next to Penora's Pizza. My relatives who owned the house actually owned a feed store for many many years before selling the property to Penora Pizza. Who wants the house for $60K?

Some daylight pics attached.

Where in PA do you live and do you have access to decent hunting? maybe we work out a deal? I apply for 7M and if I get it I'll sign it over to you in exchange for a saturday of hunting on your property in PA with my crossbow. Let me know!

Thanks for reminder. I just emailed them regarding an address change. Then I will apply for 2 3N permits, although I never use them lol.

I never have. I said "For $595, I went to PA for a week, lodging and food included on a fair-chase deer hunt."

Now $65,900 > http://mjpetersonrealestateinc-793398.lps.preferredbrokersite.com/commercial-for-sale/NY/Lancaster/14043/302-Penora-72395893

My Excalibur Vortex is 6.3lbs, shoots 330fps. If you bust a string on a hunting trip, you just put a new one on yourself. If you bust a string on a compound crossbow, you need to get to a bow press/bow shop.

Hope you didn't shoot those furbearers in NY with a crossbow. That would be illegal.

All of PA has AR's, some areas are 3 to a side, others are 4 to a side. I saw several illegal bucks (spikes, 3's, 4's) within 30 yards.

190 to 170. 18 points to _____? Nevermind. No longer interested.

Public land, but without the guide's help, you'd have no clue where to go. Basically, he does all the scouting for you. I hunted 4 1/2 days and saw 28 does and 8 bucks. The full story is here > http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/4270-trips-booked/

300,000 acres of STATE LAND. Here's the link to his camp > http://www.littlegeneraloutfitters.com/Home_Page.html

I thought they were nice bucks.....guess not?
