RE: How far are you driving, roundtrip, when you bowhunt?
tough for me. my hunting from home is 5-10 miles away.
but when im at school, im hunting about 20-25miles away.
but school is 40 something miles from HOME. i dont goto school JUST to hunt, but that puts me 60 miles from home 1 way...drive 40 to school and 20-25 to my spot..back to school, then back home..i live at school sunday night through friday mornings..then come home to hunt here on weekends.
my buddies camp is about 110 miles from my house. i went there last weekend..but i left from school and went back to school..didnt make it home till this weekend lol. school makes things nice for me..i HAVE to be there all week and dont have to drive super far to some great hunting.
i love my buddies. they think driving 20-25 minutes is TOO FAR to hunt. 16mpg...ya it cost me about 5$ every day to hunt in gas...not too shabby if ya ask me. ya gas prices are rediculous...but when you look at it that way, it aint bad. youd spend more than that to get in the movies or go to dinner....neither of which would come close to comparing to hunting! lol

RE: How far are you driving, roundtrip, when you bowhunt?
Well...I live 120 miles away from my "home", but I go "home" every weekend and my lease is only 7 miles from my "home", but if you count how far I really drive every weekend, it would be about 250 miles, roundtrip. If that makes any sense, whatsoever.
