45 to 50 minutes to the nearest public hunting ground. Boy it is packed opening day of shotgun but otherwise is not too bad. Of course I have never hunted private before so I have nothing with which to compare it.

I'll drive about an hour to the state forests. I have a nearby public wildlife area about 45 minutes away, but don't hunt it anymore (too crowded, too crazy, etc... [:'(]) But if I really feel froggy, I'll drive 2 1/2 hours to the mountains of VA and hunt out there where there's hardly anyone around.

Either walk out the back door or drive 5 minutes to our property along the river.

I hunt all private property,all of which are very good to excellant,IMHO.Of the 14 properties,10 are within a 20 minute or less drive,:).All this did'nt happen by accident,it took a lot of time,effort,and expense to make this happen.
On the other hand,I'm very grateful...Bob

All my farms here in MI are 2hrs away, when we travel out of state it is 3-6hr trip those are just for the weekend trips
The big trips are 10-12hr those are vacation days.

I drive about 40 minutes to my local spot, but every year I spend 1-2 weeks at my friend's farm in Steuben Co., NY...596 miles from my house (about 10-11 hours because of road construction on Rt. 15).
