Default How far away is you deer camp?

I'm thinking about doing some over nights while deer hunting this year. Nothing big, probably just a Saturday over night and a hunt Sunday morning. My dilemma, how far away do I need to be away from my stand so that I wont spook deer?

I'm in a 50 acre plot of woods with another 80 acres if woods a few hundred yards away. Can I cross the field and camp in the other woods or is that still too close? I thought Id hike back up to the road and camp by the truck but then I wouldn't have any firewood close.


....Or is it just not worth it and make the 40 minute drive back home and then 40 minutes drive back in the morning? Just thought Id try and enjoy the hunting experience (and save gas) by spending the whole weekend out in the field.
