RE: How far is the hike to your stands?
Lucky for me all i get to hunt is public..haha...well the further away from roads and people the better... Scout the area well and see if the spot is better for morning or evening hunts...I ride my bike about 4 miles then hike about 1 mile to my location....with that i am able to get around the area the deer are in and slip to my stand...best advice is to scout and see where the deer bed and feed then make a plan to get to stand or hunting area based on that..good suggestion if you use scent blocker or other simular products, put them on once you get to the location or near it that way you don't swet a lot on your hike...
