RE: How far is the hike to your stands?
This year I have three main hunting spot's two for archery and one for riffle. After hearing how far you guys walk I don't feel so bad anymore. The spot I hunt during the week after work is about a 200 yard walk from the road on a trail, the spot I hunt during the weekend is about a 1/4 mile from the road and the spot I have picked out for my stand for opening morning of riffle hunting is about 1/4 mile down an old logging road from where we parkand then about 1 block down and old four wheeler trail. I am hunting some brand new land for riffle season that I leased which is 163 acre's in size so I will try and find another couple of stand sites for riffle season and there areabout 10 square miles of state land to the west and south of my land so I'm sure it will take me a couple years to find a few more good spots. This year will really just be a learning year to see what the deer do and where people hunt the public land.
