Hunting Land Dilemma

[jjb4900]

are gas rights even worth anything in NY anymore?

Nope....just good to have in case someone wants to drop a well on the property in the middle of hunting season....would deff piss alot of us off.

I'd say yes, Cuomo can't hang on forever...changing of the guard usually brings changes in past rules. Rules come and go, but the gas remains forever.

yeah,  but I certainly wouldn't pay extra money for something that I may never get.

Honestly 125,000 for 100 acres sounds pretty good to me! Where I hunt, that would be close to 500,000 or 250,000 if your lucky. I would say to offer 100,000 if that better fits you budget if your willing to buy. The worst he can say is that its too low, but he may just accept it. The question is, is the land worth it. Investing in land is a great thing and is well worth more then going on out of state hunts for the rest of your life IMO.

I have read what some of Biz's hunts cost,and others.I'm thinking the whole life time of hunts....would have him living a short life span.

Front 20 acres is defiantly wet/wet lands, the property is separated by an old railroad bed. but it hasn't been posted for sale yet so who know what the future plans are, ill continue on with my original plan..

The rail road bed could pose a problem if he doesn't own it. The rail road often sell such lands...then what you have is someone that has legal "excess" through the middle of your land.

I know this because father and brother did just that and ran a small scrap yard on the rail bed.This ran through/ along sides several properties a great distance in Groveland NY...major headache for many including them.
