Default RE: Potter Co PA Log Cabin/Hunting Camp w/acreage

Just so you know,

At one time there was more than 1.6 Million Whitetail deer living in Pennsylvania.

Recent guesstimations say that there is about 15,000 bears in Pennsylvania =- which is a grossly inflated number.

Average 1.5 Million deer against 15,000 bears, and you have a 100 to 1 ratio.

Now if you are being truthful, and you are seeing more bears than deer - then the deer thing is a joke.

I worked in Potter County for a couple of months and I helped build the house that the owners of PA Pressed Metals in Emporium lives in.

They owned several hundred acres and had it all posted - some 10 years ago, and there was 20 or 30 deer in their meadow every morning when we worked on their house.

Now if you saw 3 deer - you would be lucky.

The woods didn't change, just the population of deer there.

That is why this camp is for sale.

Nobody would go out and spend all that money and time and not want to use it or keep it - unless there was something wrong with it.

Right now there are lot's of camps for sale up there and very little deer.

You are a realtor - why don't you buy it for yourself and flip it in a couple of years when the deer population improves. You could make a fortune.
