RE: How far is the hike to your stands?
1/4-1/2 mile has been my average. Few years back I was driving by some public land that lined both sides of the road. Several people hunted it often espeically on the weekend, seemed like every time I drove by there was several does dang near within bow range of the trucks. A guy could have parked the truck, walked 30 yards, crawled up a tree and shot a deer in that spot.
