Our farm is 98 miles x2. I have made that drive, sat all day without seeing any deer and then have to drive all the way home. That was a sucky drive, especially on the way home.[:@] I do have some places as close 7 and 10 miles now so I hope to hunt some evenings after work this year because they are so close.

The furthest I ever has is 90 miles. It's been a while though. Lately I take at least a week off at a time and drive the 300 miles to the cabin. I don't mind the drive when I know I'm gonna be there for a week.
