How far to your stand?
 

Im hunting public land, so Im pretty far in the woods to stay away from other hunters. I have a good 3/4 mile hike to my stand on opening day. Ive gone back there so much that I can practically do it with my eyes closed. How far do you guys have to hike?

RE: How far to your stand?
 

100 yards from my front door.:)Had major back surgery last year and put a ladder stand up befor I was cut so I could at least get out of the house during the season. I got lucky and took a nice 8 pt. with an inside spread of 17 3/4 and grossed 111". Not a book deer but nice in my book.

nice deer. Is it the one in your avatar? If so, I wouldn't think twice about shooting it.

RE: How far to your stand?
 

Depends where I am hunting. In my neighborhood I hunt 30 yds from the house. At the farm I may walk close to 3\4 of a mile to get to my stand also, but some are only 50 yds from where I park.

I hunt public land also and from where I park my tuck to my treestand is about 5280 feet of rough turain.
When I hunt up north on state land I try to set my stand up not to far away from where I have to park.

Ryan,
That was my first deer ever. I took him back on 10/11/1986. He dressed out @ 305 lbs. after taking a 5 gal. bucket of fat out of his body cavity. It was hot and I had to get him cooled down befor I took him to the taxidermist. If I could figure out how to attach pics to post I would show you last years guy. Every time I try to post one it says the file is too large.[:@]

RE: How far to your stand?
 

You need to compress your pics to post them. If you have somewhere to edit them you should be able to do it there. Cropping may also help. I am not an expert, but have figured it out. Good luck.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try.

About 50 yards from my door to the nearest one , and not over 150 yards to the farthest one . Living in a woods that deer have to cross through absolutely rocks ! :)
