RE: How far do you hunt from where you park?
 
At least 1 mile when I am hunting on land that other hunters have access to. I have found that 99% of the bowhunters in my area will not walk a mile in the rugged terrain that I hunt. As a result I no longer have to worry about my tree stands being stolen and best of all I have seen way more game. The farther I can get away from a ATV road the better I like it!!! :D

Usually 400 yards to 1/2 mile. There is one wood I hunt with trails everwhere so I sometimes park the ATV within 200 yards and still see tons of deer.

Good Luck!

Where I live there aren' t many places you can get far back in without cutting another road. I' ve hunted anywhere from 30 yds to 3/4 mile, but mostly 100-400 yds is average.

If I can figure it out, I will try to post a picture of my bike rack. I don' t have a scanner or a digital camera.
I should have already made it, but I always seem to put things off till the last minute.I am going to use old folding lawn chairs. I hope that it works better than the cart I made. I used 24" bike wheels that kept tilting in(due to weak axles), but I have wheelchair wheels to try for this season. The spokes will be stonger, and they have sealed bearings that I hope to use.
I did haul 3 deer out last season with it. Much better than dragging them the 2 miles.

My hat is off to you. To stay out for 3 weeks is impressive. Every time that I stay out from dusk till dawn, I tell myself not again.(but I still due it) Do you hunt in colder weather to keep the meat fresh? Here bow season last from october 1st till the middle of January.

If I' m on public land, I walk up to 1.5 miles from where I park. If I' m on private, it' s a short 50 yd walk to my treestand.

How long does it take you to get a deer out, if it takes you 2 hours to get to your hunting site? I hope you have a nice cart, or a nice friend or two to help.
