100 yards to great deer hunting.
I prefer classic.

I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

The last hog I killed was out of a bedroom window in my house. The last deer was about 300 yards out the back door.
I hunt here at the house, or at another property I own about a mile down the road. If time permits I hunt with a friend about 150 miles away or on some other property I have a little over 200 miles from home.

To camp at our new area is 280 miles, 5.5 hours each way. Won't even count the miles out of camp to areas we hunt. We did have to make two gas runs in 13 days this last time.

Am driving a total of 810 miles one way next Thursday to deer hunt with Dad. Changed the oil in the crankcase and transmission the last 2 nights, did the front brakes and rotated tires a few weeks before.
Fired 3 rounds each of .270, 7mm Rem Mag 2 weeks ago, both good to go. (M99 Savage was keyholing with 115gr .250 Savage, irked, figured wrong twist rate out from posts on this forum, bummed, wanted to shoot that, need to load some 87gr for it) Also taking my .460 Rowland (5" XD) I feel really good with it at 100.

About 1-1/2 hours for me which is 75 miles one way. Trouble is there is no good way to get there any faster. Been doing this a looong time.

I can walk out my front door to hunt both whitetail and mule deer, but usually drive somewhere within a half hour radius. I have a bush camp / trapline that is 320 km away that is mainly for hunting elk and moose and bear but we hunt WT deer there too. A favourite ranch that we hunt in the SW of our province is a five hour drive away has good numbers of both species.
