At present it is about 20 minutes to my lease. When we move into the new house next month it will be 5 minutes.

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

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

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...

At camp I have 150-200sq miles out my back door. When in WI I have to drive 1 hour to the cabin. From home to Saskatchewan, its 20 hours. From camp to Alberta its an18 hour drive. It all depends where I'm hunting.
