Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting How far do you drive to hunt?

Either out the back door on my land, or 80 miles to the father inlaw's, or 180 miles to north east MO

About 10 or 15 miles. It's an hour from the time I walk out the door to when I'm sitting in the stand hunting. It takes me about 1/2 hour to drive there and get through the gate and across the field where I park. Then another 1/2 hour to get dressed, get my schit together and walk the rest of the way across the field, over a fence and through the woods and get up in the stand.

I can step out the front door and point to the spot on the mountainside across the road where I killed my buck last season. I can step out the back door and point to the spot where I killed my buck the season before that.

About 50 steps for deer and hogs. Then, 24 hours to the UP of Michigan for deer as well!

10 miles, 25 miles, and 100 miles for my Missouri hunting.

Here in TN about 35miles one way to one spot and about 70 miles one way to the other.

I live in Kentucky, but I hunt in Missouri. It's 480 miles to the family farm.

Depends on the tag I draw, could be 5 miles or 200 miles! For deer, elk, bear or cougar! Ducks about a mile, grouse 15 miles. I can hunt a 360 around my home within 5 miles. And I live in town. It a small town!!!!

57 miles one way to my farm

A. No driving when I hunt on my place.

B. It's 3 miles to my family place where I'm the only one who hunts there.
So very nice ! !

In yrs past I've had to drive 40--60 mi. where I hunted regularly. And there have been opportunities to hunt and drive much farther.

Closer is better.

Patio if I just want some meat. Have another spot 50 miles away that is much better for actual hunting.

We travel exactly 61 miles door-to-door. It takes exactly 90 minutes. A third of it is driving through downtown Cincinnati. A third of it is on divided highway. The remaining third is on winding 2-laners.

Last weekend marked the 15th anniversary of closing on our farm.

2 miles to stand in the woods with a weapon
400 miles one way when I'm serious
1200 miles one way when I'm extra serious

i can walk out my door and get a deer or turkey on my property any day of the week but it is not really my style of hunting as i like mountains. my camp is 84 miles. from there i drive 20 minutes for 10's of thousands of acres of public mountain hunting. i have a little honey-hole i hit in mid-late season about 5 min away. anymore though i don't really care if i get anything. i just do it for the tradition and to get my boys out in the woods.

This year? 600 miles one way.

I have killed one from my front steps. Had I wanted to I could have killed one with a hammer from my kitchen window. The last few years I have been killing them out of my neighbor's garage window. Once I get the population under better control I'll go back to hunting at deer camp 65 miles away.

I drive to several spots for deer. Out of the parking lot left is 10 minutes / take a right turn to another spot is 10 minutes. Another spot is 20 minutes and another spot is 45 minutes.

150 miles for rifle. 10-25 miles depending for "metro area" archery does.

Until yesterday, about 1/2 a mile. The farm I have hunted for the past 10 years,got divided up and I am out of a nice place. Looks like about 15 miles and up, now.
