7.5 hours.  We get drawn for certain areas, and one has to drive to get there....

Walk out my back door and in 200 yards I am in whitetail territory.  Have to walk three miles to come to the next road & houses.  Heaven.

It depends...I go where the game is.  95% of my deer hunting is five hours away from my home in western NC, to my lease in middle Tennessee.  I am driving to the Florida panhandle next month to hunt hogs, and to the Oregon coast in 2016 to hunt elk.  I sure as heck wish the deer herd was better around home.  We have lots of bears but still hunting them is illegal.  I have a ton of turkeys and bow fishing close to home, but traveling to where game is plentiful has never really bothered me.

Hundred miles to where I have my tag this year, wouldn't be so bad is there was camping but there isn't so it's either round trip drive for the day or $75 hotel room for the night

I drive about an hour and ten minutes to my lease.  My favorite spot is on the family farm, 630 miles North of Houston!

15 min to one spot 1/2 hr to my other spot. I'm not sure I would call them Hot Spots. But it's where I go

My land is 115 miles away.

My cousin's land is about 70 miles away.

I have a friend about 12 miles away, but have to wait until rifle season ends before I can hunt his
place, (after today).

I really miss the days of $1.00 a gallon gas!

7 miles to my honey hole. Here in Mass I prefer private over public land. WMA areas are packed with hunters and many are stocked with pheasant which seasons dates coinside with archery. Where are you located? Any farmland? Near the Pike?

My family place is an hour away.  My lease is 45 minutes on the other side of that.

We moved here 3 years ago and the county I am now a resident of has not a square inch of public property.

Still been unsuccessful at finding a place here, so will continue to burn up the road as I can.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.
