I sit anywhere from 50yrds-.5 miles.Don't like to drag deer out of the .5 mile spot by myself and the dang cell gets no connection either at the .5. I have one spot ( abanded shed) that the distance the deer run after being shot is the distance my drag will be, longest 50yrds, shortest 2 yrds, this stand is in a suburban area. I walk 20 yrds from my vehicle to the shed.
