HOW LONG TO YOUR HUNTING PROPERTY

[psedna]

I live almost two hours from the family private property. I cant do same day there and back trips anymore, esp after hunting all day.

If it was only an hour one way, I could do that roundtrip in a day and hunt all day. Bu long cold hard facts are that means getting up at 3:45 to get in stand by six am, and ten not getting homes til say 8:00 pm at the earliest. Too much for late sixties, and I think being on the road at four am is nuts and probably not real safe.

So we usually plan at least a two day trip, going to retire when I am ninety and then I can hunt when I want to...

Even cheap hunter motels, and eating out more also (not counting corn bill lol), can really add up...

I may turn into a mid day and afternoon hunter before too long... And I have been doing it bow only for over 25/30 years.

If it’s family owned private property why not put a camper or shack to stay in?

Lots of ideas here

Deer camp... aka home away from home pics

We have had some of these threads over the years, but I havent seen one lately. Show us a pic of your camp !!! Below is a pic of a place we have in Taliaferro County Ga. I call it the Carters Grove Hilton. Lots of memories at this place since 1988.

staying at camp from friday evening till sunday afternoon is part of hunting to us.......takes me about 1hr 20 mins......

GA farm is 4 hours, SC farm is 2 hours. Got a lodge at each and that has made things a whole lot mo better. I do go to my SC place a whole lot more than my GA farm though.

 

[Lilly001]

7-1/2 hours from Fl to my Ga cabin.
I used to stay 2 weeks at a time.
Now I stay so much the Wifey thinks we should sell the Fl house and stay in Ga.

 

[Gadestroyer74]

2 1/2 hours one way for me. Have camper and the amenities there so that’s nice.. working 60 to 70 hours a week then get off and drive there and back sure takes its toll on you..

 

[GeorgiaGlockMan]

1.25 hrs to my property tops.

I use to do back and forth same day. A nap in the climber helped.

Now I am working on a little cabin. Staying in there more than working on it during deer season tho.

I usually go out late the night before, sleep in the shack till 6 am, hunt a half or whole day and usually go home that night. Not hard at all.

It's like heaven if I can stay 2 nights in a row.

About 150 steps from my back door. Living on your property is the best.

 

[Railroader]

10-30 minutes travel time. I keep it easy.

 

[Worlldbeater]

5 minute walk out the back door or 20 minute ride to the other farm or 25 minutes to the local WMA.

 

[Hawken2222]

45 minutes to my lease in Jasper County and a hour and fifteen minutes to the ground I own in Hancock

My cabin started as just a hunting cabin. Now it’s turned into a house.
The Wifey insisted on upgrades when she started accompanying me.
Its comfortable and I have 160 acres I can walk to.
And she sometimes has dinner ready and waiting when I finish my evening hunt.

 

[Pruitt1]

6miles and 5min out the back door.

 

[Kev]

I have to walk out the door of my house to hunt the land I own. I lease or have permission to hunt 5 other tracts all within a 15 minute drive.

 

[fireman32]

5 minutes from my front door to the stand, or 10 minutes to the little tract down the road. I do miss the camping side, but it’s nice to be able to hunt a lot during the season. My work schedule makes it hard to justify being in a club an hour away.

 

[whitetailfreak]

5-10 minutes, cohutta wma and CNF

Mr DIY Hvac for me in the cabin after I finish it out and the mrs may just join me too!



Oh yeah and a toilet...she told me she needs that to too 2.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

45 minutes these days. Enjoyed hanging out by the fire all weekend at the club but can't do the three hour drive anymore. Get off work Friday, drive down, hunt a few times and drive home Sunday. Now I go to hunt and hunt.
