RE: Just wondering - How far do you guys walk to your stands?
My shortest is 200 yards but I usually walk between .5 to 1 mile. It's tough to go shorter because I hunt public mostly and try to get out away from most people. Coinidentally my shortest walk is on private ground. I have 20 lb climber with my harness and clothes attached, probably about 25 lbs. Then my bow weighs about 6 fully dressed. In te early season, I try to walk really slow because you start sweating in a hurry.
