Scbasshunter Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I was going to drive 2.5 hrs one way tommorow to only hunt on Saturday and come home Saturday night. After getting up all week at 5:30am, I just don't think I'm going to make it. What is the furthest/longest you have driven to only hunt once or twice?

arrow32 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Drive/hunt time. Have drove a couple hours in the morning for a day hunt ten drove home. Makes for a very long day when you get up well before daylight and hunt till dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 We have drawn hunts in Oklahoma.... I drew out in the panhandle for antelope. It took something like 7 hours to drive out there. Hunted the next day, shot prairie dogs all day and missed a lope. Sunday morning finally laid one over about 9:00 and then was back in the car headed home.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I drive about an hour and 15 minutes one way to my hunting spot. I've driven up there for a three or four hour morning hunt several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter42 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Its about 3 minutes down the dirt road to my lease if you drive slow its only a mile from town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Before we bought our property I drove 35 minutes to get to the property and usually those were for morning hunts. Now, walk out the door and I am on my way on feet to my stands, furthest one roundabout ways is probably a little over a 1/2 mile, don't hunt that one too often. When we hunted Wyoming, the hotel we stayed at was about a 45 minute ride to the property we hunted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I don't have any land close to me to hunt. No public land in my county, and the closest is at least a 30-40 minute drive from here. Have driven to my uncles place a few times, that is an hour and 20 minutes one way. I used to have permission to hunt a small piece of land about 40 minutes away. I would drive that every morning and hunt all day. Our farthest drive is just over 400 miles and about a 7 hour drive to the farm we hunt in the upper peninsula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 If I hunt here at the house, I just walk out the door and I can get to any stand in 5-8 minutes on foot. If I hunt the other farm, its a 20 minute drive. I used to hunt a place that was about 45 minutes one way, thats the furthest I have ever had to drive.

WHISKEYSWAMP Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 If hunting around the house I just have to drive to get to the other side of the section to have easier access to stands. Tomorrow for the opener I will drive an hour to my favorite hunting spot, still have a couple stands to set also. I also drive 7 hours every year to the UP, Michigan to the cabin for deer camp... lucky to see a deer up there some years but still wouldn't miss camp.

Shoobee Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 2 1/2 hours is the shortest distance I have ever driven to go hunting. I have two spots which are that far away, one to the east and another to the south. 4 hours is more common for me, either to the north or as before to the east. I have also driven as much as 12 hours to the north or 12 hours to the east to hunt out of state. On none of these trips would I return again the same day. That is just too much driving, and driving like that when tired is very dangerous. Either I will camp, or I will get a motel room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 My drive here at home is about 25 minutes. The longest I have travelled to hunt is 21 hours but that is for a 7 day hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
