I would also like to own some property in pa and not have to sell the ny property located 20 min from home. Most land in pa would be about 1 hour from home. Which would mean no evening hunts on a whim. The main factor is the price. Pa land is about 1000-1500$ acre (more if not recently logged). There is no way just one of us could buy 100-200 acres alone. The cost of leasing is rapidly increasing was 6-9$ acre now 16-19$ per acre. If you don't lease or hunt game lands you won't have a place to hunt. Just some rough figures with 5 guys we would invest 7000$each . Then pay 1400 per year each for 15 years for mortage/ins.,taxes ect. Until the mortage is paid off then 300$.
