Default Miles traveled during bow season?

This year I put app. 3,000 miles on my truck just going to and from the farm.This year is the most for me so far.
Approximatel how many miles do you all put on your vehicles during bow/deer season?

ILBOW... that's where I hurt myself, I live on 95 acres with some good deer on it but the other land I have is loaded with big bucks and a lot of deer in general. I really only hunted where I live during the rifle. When it comes down to it I guess I'm pretty much a fool for driving 30 miles each way to hunt the other place.

Wow I never kept track. With all my hunting from Sep-Jan, I guess 5,000.

2 trips south 1000 miles each way (4000). 1 Deer spot is 76 round trip-probably 10=760 another is 48 round trip x 5= 240 & another is 8 miles round trip at 20 trips = 160. That is JUST Bowhunting for sure-no scouting counted=5160 miles. Passed on several Bucks & a few Does so just the price of gas made this Doe pretty expensive-it's always worth it.
