Acres hunted

[LCguy]

Just depends. I backpacked in two miles, then glassed up elk 5 miles the other way, backpacked out, and killed one the next day.

It may help refine answers if we knew why you were asking, and how you wanted the answers defined.

-Does the area I ride my horses through on the way to our camp count?
-Does an area that I may or may not get to every year but generally try and check out count?
-Everything I look at through my glasses on a hunting trip in my unit count?

Etc.

Regardless of how it is defined gonna be many, many acres. One reason I love federal land.

Guess I was kinda vague. I was just wondering at the point you start actually hunting whether walking, or on horseback ( not in a vehicle) how many squares miles are you covering and actually hunting. Glassing can be included as long as you can and will hunt the area you are glassing.

Thanks everyone for the answers so far. There was no other reason why, just curiosity

Looking at my tracks, and it depends whether it's a closed unit that requires bikes or not; We'll go 1 -5 miles round trip walking. On a bike we do 10-20 miles round trip, trolling for Bulls. Once we get a Bull going you never know how far you may need to go.

Just did real rough outline in Onx of our area and got 26,000 acres, which is honestly smaller than I thought.
