I'm lucky I just have to walk a few yards out my front door. However, the deer numbers have been small these past few years(but picking up).....Phil

I have stands right behind the house and live in the middle of lots of public land, but also drive up to 2 hours to hunt other places.

My two best private spots are 1.5 to 2 hours away.  I have public land within 30 minutes but so does the rest of Indy and the hunting quality shows it.

Now that I have moved, I have a 4 hour drive to my lease. I don't go as often as i did when it was only 30 min away, but I stay and hunt more days in a row. I guess it evens out for hours in the woods I guess.

I probably have over 30 peices of private property to hunt, people ask me too hunt. Having a good reputation as an ethicall and legal bowhunter can really get around, If your ever in the mountains of NC i would be more than happy to help someone out.

Growing up, I had access to my family's 40 acres plus about another 70 acres of neighboring land and I thought that being restricted to that tiny little parsle was no way for an aspiring mountain man to live... Now, the closest public land is 40 minutes away and my folks are an hour away and we are pretty much restricted to their 40 these days.

Didn't know when I had it so good.

I started shooting a longbow because I thought it would simplify things and it did... now I simply need to get a whole lot closer to hit anything.

I'm lucky to have a WMA bordering my property so all I have to do is walk across the road if I choose. But, there is some better hunting up the river here so I'll drive 15-30 minutes if I feel like it.

I have good deer and squirrel hunting a flight shot and a half from my house. Or I drive 15min to a friends private property, he's got deer, turkey, and too many bears.

The only hunt I plan on for sure every year is in Nebraska and I'm currently living in Idaho so about 16 hours with good weather. Hunted northern CA this year which was about 9 hours. Colorado antelope I flew so that doesn't really count...

Growing up I'd hunt right from the house. Now I live about an hours drive from the same area and prefer to drive back rather then hunt private land around town. Every year I go a few places that might be 4-6 hours drive just to see something new.
