Farthest walk to a stand

~1.5mile hike in but not to a stand as its public. Most are < 1 mile, with my favorite ~250 yds.

Depending on if I want to hop a fence or walk to the gate probably anywhere in between 3/4 mile to mile to farthest stand. Maybe 200 yards to shortest.

 

It's 300 yards or so to most of my stands .

 

30 minutes to my farthest. 30 seconds to my nearest

 

1.9 miles to the stand according to my maps app. It mostly trail that the conservation gets to drive their trucks down and its all flat so I can't complain to much. Private land is 15min hike.

 

There are 4 of us that hunt national forest land, mine is the shortest, about 3/8 of a mile, my brother goes in the farthest, about 3/4 mile, the other 2 guys are spread out between us.

 

1/2 mile if the field is wet/muddy, otherwise it could be only 50 yards.

 

Where I live now maybe a mile at most. Growing up in Missouri it wasn't uncommon to hike 3 to 5 miles.

 

I have a few spots that are over a mile in. If I'm taking a climber I wheel it in on my deer cart, that way if I whack one I save myself a trip to the truck, and save my back

 

I didn't even think he had a bow.

 

But for me about 15 min from my back door

 

Most my stands are between 1/2 to 1 mile walk

 

Cool topic, my farthest is about a 30 min walk.

 

Regardless of distance I have found the longest walk is in the dark back to the truck in freezing or cold wet weather

 

For gun season I walk about a mile, bow season it is about 200-300 yrds max.

 

I've had a few public spots that were close to 2 miles. I didn't make that trek but a time or two a year.

 

Farthest is about .5 miles.

 

500 yards

 

1/2 - 3/4 mi

 

1/2 mile or so... Land is pretty broken up where I hunt.
