    Just a silly question went to property over last weekend where I hunt, and on drive there was wondering if we all drive about the same. So, how far of a drive from your home to your preffered hunting area? Mine is hour and 20 minutes. :moose:

    About two hours to one property. But possibly trying one out this next year that is fifteen minutes away. Still figuring that property out though.

    Depends on how excited my father is. It can take 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

    Anywhere from 30 secs out the door to a 2.5 hrs drive and everything inbetween....mostly within 35 minutes drive though. Also the hike is usually longer than the drive(timewise).

    Our main deer hunting land is about 25-35 minutes away, depending on what we are pulling out there and who is driving. I would love to buy some land in another state though when i graduate to get some more hunting action each year. That would require lots more time on the road

    Depending on which property I hunt it can be a short walk out the back door, a ten minute drive, or a twenty-five minute drive.

    My FAVORITE hunting spot...depending on traffic and construction...about 21 hours.
    But here at home, anything from a 2 minute walk to maybe a 25 minute drive. Most is 5 minute drives. I don't get carried away, a deer killed in my backyard taste the same as one killed 25 minutes away.
