My house.. 400 yard walk to the feeder from the back porch.

South Texas.. 1 Hour .. 70 miles.

I would like to have access to a place further away.. like west texas.
i enjoy the drives out that way. from San Antonio out Past Del Rio .. through the Hill country and into the Desert.

the Drive from SAN ANTONIO .. taking Interstate 10 all the way to El Paso is a Wonderful 8 hour drive.
or evern San Antonio to California on I-10.
i wish i had some reason to take that drive more often. (reason = Ranch)

I have three tracks of land I hunt. All have about 200 to 250 acres on them.
One is right at 10 miles from the house.
The second spot is about 15 miles from the house in the other direction.
My third spot that's bow hunt only is about 35 miles from the house. I keep the third cause it's prime turkey land. It's not much in the fall but it's well worth it in the spring.

I'm very fortunate. And I'm very very careful to make sure the land is well cared for. All the land I use is owned by good friends I've made over the years.

RE: driving to deer camp
 
about 35 miles...suprises me how many people here have to go hundreds of miles to hunt. I guess that just speaks volumes about how much the economy is helped by us sportsman!!

The big woods are about 15 miles out, but if I'm being lazy or my back is on strike, the woods behind the house work fine.
