I will not get any closer than 500 yds to any of my spots with a vehicle, so I walk at least 500yds to all my spots...

Most of my spots seem to be about 400 - 600 yards from the truck...

It depends on where I'm hunting. I've walked 75 yards and killed deer and I've walked uphill for45 minutesbefore daylight to escape the crowds on state land. There is no set distance. Some people beat themselves up unnecessarily and others just throw good sense to the wind over this. Different areas and different deer with different exposures to man and civilization require different things. If I could walk only 100 yards I'd be happy, but if I have to walk a half mile I'll do it. The trick is to know the difference and make it easy on yourself without buggering all the deer in the area up.

I go 200-600 on private land and at least 3/4 mile to 2 miles on the public land around Virginia Tech.

My walks are varied as well. My shortest walk is about 150 yards. My longest walk is about 1.5 miles.My other 5 or 6 stands range from 300-500 yards.
