When I' ve been away at school I' m only about 45 minutes from my house, this semester I took my credits externally and worked full time and stayed home so needless to say my dreams of being able to hunt a little more didn' t pan out. The place I go to school has alot of hunting oportunities within 15 minutes of campus and its pretty pro hunting, they even have an official wild game cleaning room.
I' ve done it both ways and it ended up working out that it was more relaxing hunting by school, and alot easier cause you could just go when you had the time.
