RE: How far are you driving, roundtrip, when you bowhunt?
I don't feel as bad about my hunting drive now that I've seem what someof you guyson here do to hunt!
It's about 125 miles one way for me. I usually drive up to my friends' house the evening before, get organized with my hunting buddy, then go up to a trailer I have on our land for the night, then hunt our land (98 acres) and the National Forest adjacent to it (no general public access for ~6miles in any direction, so almost like provate land) all of the next day, before light to after dark. No Sunday hunting in VA[:@], so it's usually a one-day hunting excursion for me, so I like to make the most of it.

110 Miles to get there to the hunting property and 130 miles to get back home after a stop at thebutcher shop...
Just a little over 4 hours of drive time. Sometomes it's worth it and other times it's not...
