If you own your ground you dont need to buy deer tags.

You should be able to keep your guns/bows at the campus police station, and get them 24-7.

When I' ve been away at school I' m only about 45 minutes from my house, this semester I took my credits externally and worked full time and stayed home so needless to say my dreams of being able to hunt a little more didn' t pan out. The place I go to school has alot of hunting oportunities within 15 minutes of campus and its pretty pro hunting, they even have an official wild game cleaning room.
I' ve done it both ways and it ended up working out that it was more relaxing hunting by school, and alot easier cause you could just go when you had the time.

Oh, it sucks being so far from home. I' m four hours away. Last year I went home a lot during hunting season. But now I go every month or so. I would hunt here, but it' s out of state and I don' t have that kind of $$. Oh, well, I guess I can deal with it.

I go to university about 2.5 hours from home. From september to december i usually go home every weekend to hunt unless i have too much work to do. I get a little bit of hunting in the city. i have permission to hunt on a piece of land just south of the city for mulies so i hunt that usually twice during the week. I just try to get all my assignments and studyin done in the week so when friday afternoon rolls around i' m in a treestand rather than a library.

I think that would suck to have to keep all of that equipment in a policestataion. Theres no way I' m storing thousands of dollars of equipment with someone I don' t know. So deerhunter are you saying your poaching these deer, or do you legally not have to buy tags? Because if you like hunting then you might as well buy tags to support the DNR so they have money to provide the privliges you take for granted.

I just finished college and although hunting was all I wanted to do, it was hard to get out there and do it w/ all the things pressing for my time in school. Where I was at there was thousands of acres of public land, so that was nice. If we were full-time students we could get in-state hunting licenses and not have to pay the big bucks as if we were nonresidents. If you haven' t checked into this and are paying for nonresident licenses, check on it. I am assuming quite a few states do this as my home state and the state where I went to college both do this.

I went to college in Duluth, MN back in 1982 to 1984 after attending junior college near home. There I was about 1.5 hours from home but managed to sneak back quite a bit in the fall to grouse/duck/goose hunt and then deer hunt as well. If I would' ve been too far then I' d definitely look for land around that location. May find it' s better than you expected and you' ll find another great experience. Get out and knock on a few doors as the worst they can say is " No" ....

I' m an hour and a half from home, but even if I were 3hrs from home, I' d still go back there to hunt (I' ve also got to go back almost every weekend to work around the ranch though). It gets to be pretty expensive driving back and forth all the time, but when I really think about it, the money I spend on gas would have been spent on food for the four days I' m home (I come back monday mornings and leave friday afternoon, I eat a ton before I come so I don' t have to eat that day again, and fast until I get home on fridays)...so it comes out about even, and I get to get out of the city and do all the hunting that I can.
