how far do you generally travel to hunt your regular hunting grounds.

shortest drive is about 10 minutes (live in a rural area) longest drive about 40 minutes to my buddies place. although when i lived in Chicago it was more like 4-5 hours. much better now, gas expenses have been cut in half this year.

Either 1.25 hours north or .75 hours south. The south hunting spot is between housing developments and a nuclear power plant and will not be huntable in a few years. I lost about 300 acres last year. Most of it was public huntable land, but nobody hunted it but me and my buddies.

3.5 hours to where I stay and hunt em. I can just walk out the door in the morning to hunt though.

About 1.5 hrs. Not many birds here by the house. I do have a state park that has some but the hunting pressure is out the roof so I head south and east.

The shortest distance I go from my house is about a mile, I live in a small town. The furthest I travel from my house is less than ten miles.

When this question was asked on the bowhunting forum, I was surprised to see many of the guys answer around 2 hours.

I felt very fortunate.

Here, it's the other way around. I travel nearly 4 hours to get to where I hunt . . . and even then I was driving an additional 30 miles each morning to get to a private farm I hunted.

This year, I'll still have to drive way out to the area, but the farmer told me I could stay at his house! At least I'll walk out the door and be hunting.
