How far have you traveled for a weekend hunt

[Rich M]

I was on a lease 5.5 hrs from home - 11 hrs driving for 3 or 4 sessions on stand.
About once a year would drive up, walk to stand, kill, quarter deer, then go home.

That's about my limit tho. 5-6 hrs each way is max for a weekend hunt.

To CO or WY is 30+ hrs, that's a 10-14 day trip. Flying I'll do less - especially if not having to hassle with gun & gear...

In 2013, just after my 3rd daughter was born, I drove from Bellingham, WA to near Browning, MT for a weekend hunt to chase deer. It’s around 700 miles one way. I missed the biggest mule deer I’ve ever had the chance at and ended up shooting a 4x4 whitetail. It was definitely worth the trip.

I regularly drive 6.5hrs on a Friday after work to shoot prairie dogs all day Saturday, to come home Sunday morning. More time driving than behind a rifle.

Not necessarily that order, would be a tad irresponsible

 

[weekender7]

7 hours one way a BUNCH of times just to shoot hogs

 

[ODB]

I'm more of a rum/whiskey guy. But well bring extra earplugs in case of a headache. Lol

7 hours one way tomorrow to call turkeys for someone and come back the next day. One of my favorite trips of the year. Not even touching a trigger.

Well the reason I asked is because I was wondering how I was stacking up, I drove 10 hours one way for 2 days of turkey hunting this last weekend and proceeded to swing and miss and gobbler Sunday morning, big bummer but it was worth it.

I've only done four hours for weekend hunts. I just feel like you cant get enough in if its more than that. I don't enjoy it enough if I feel like I am rushing or know that I have a short time a long way to go.
