Every pre season I find myself excited about all the place I have to hunt that are less than an half hour away. But I always end up using the spot that is about 3min away. This year I am really going to make an effort to give those other spots a fair shake

RE: How far away on average do you travel to hunt?
 

I walk to all my hunting spots....most of the time (unless it's really hot). Everything is within a mile.

RE: How far away on average do you travel to hunt?
 

depends...sometimes im hunting out the back door of my buddies camp...sometimes im driving out to the township to hunt the farms that is 10 minutes away...sometimes im up at school and driving 20-30 minutes to hunt a state game lands...to be fair i voted 15 minutes...

i guess you could count the drive to school and the drive to camp...but when im at school i live there during the week and hunt from there...and stay at camp when we hunt from there...

About 2.5 hrs to get to my cabin.I don't deer hunt too much close to home anymore

When I lived in SD, and when I move back in a month, it is around 15 minutes. Have places that are farther but usually don't hunt them.

In Texas has been around 15 minutes as well.

It all depends on where I decide to hunt on a certain day. Some days it's a 5 minute drive, other days it's a 15 minute drive...(if I feel like a road trip).:D

After looking at this poll, don't feel so bad about having to drive for an1 1/2 hours to get to the camp. I could hunt around the house but do not have the deer around here that we have around the camp.

RE: How far away on average do you travel to hunt?
 

2 hours plus was the norm for most of my deer hunting days, back when I mainly gun hunted. Now that I'm bow hunting mostly I can get to my best spot in about 45 minutes.

RE: How far away on average do you travel to hunt?
 

300yd 3min walk usually. That's to the place all my trailcam pics are from. If we hunt state land its about a 45min drive of so, but I don't hunt up there unless everyone is seeing deer, to me it's not worth it if you aren't seeing deer.

I can either walk ten minutes to a stand (we have 45 acres and two sides are bordered by national forest with national forest across the road) or drive 10 minutes to my Dad's (he has 72 acres, we lease 60 acres with him across from his corrall, plus we have the hunting rights on the 200+ acres we mow). It all depends on where I want to hunt and what type of stand I want to hunt out of (ladder stand and blinds at the house, box stands elsewhere). And yes I do know how lucky I am ... I thank God everyday that we live where we do.

Two places, one is half hour, the better place is 2.5 hours.
The 2.5 hour trip pretty much limits me to weekends, holidays, and occasional Friday. [:@]
