I can hunt from home, and have shot one deer
from my back deck, but generally I drive about 20 minutes to a larger property a farmer lets me hunt.

I have 2 main hunting areas which are 200 km apart and I live right in the middle. Recently bought a property for hunting in the one area (160 acres) and either day trip or take the camper out to the other one (just because it's fun having a hunting camp). It's nice; general tags for 3 point & up elk and general white tail buck and doe tags every year. Makes it easy to set out trail cameras and scout. And with all this good fortune, I got skunked this year lol.

I sleep in my own bed to hunt waterfowl as within 1 hour of my house. Antelope, mule deer, and elk are 3+ hours so those require other accommodations.

I live in NW MT, I can hunt from home for whitetail. Can do elk and mule, but as I get older I do not enjoy walking hours in the dark with all the griz. Also the forest is rally thick and difficult for elk. So I tend to travel 3 or more hours for elk.

Yes. I hunt behind my house and at my farm a few miles down the road. I killed the biggest deer in my life shooting out of the window at my house. My favorite hunt of the year is my annual pilgrimage to CO each September though. I would trade that one week of elk hunting for the entire deer season at home without hesitation.
