    5 minutes to one, 40 to another, 4 hours to one, and the biggy is 6.5 hours. All are private land...the 2 longer ones may only be 1 or 2 weekends a season.

    It is an hour to the cabin. Most of my spots are within 20 minutes of the cabin.

    mine's 45 mins and I try to go at least twice a week. My cameras are pretty well hidden in the depths of the public land I hunt(roughly 10000 acres) and my stands are climbers or hang ons. If I do leave them overnight it's under lock and key.

    I drive 75 miles to get to my farm. About an hour. Gas starts to get pricey but I love that drive.

    I'm new with tree stands. Do they make any type of locks so that they can't be stolen? Same thing with trail cameras?
