How Far Do You Travel To Hunt ?

Post by hawkeyee »

I usually have to drive 10 -25 miles to get good public ground hunting (to hunt & shoot rabbits ) just wondering how far some of you regularly drive for private or public hunting ?

I like to go up North where you don't see other hunters, houses, or many vehicles.....depending on where I head it's often 80+ miles each way.


Here's the typical scenery, I think it's worth it

I don't shoot anything within an hour of the metro; they get too much pressure and it's often enough to have me driving over an hour for good running in the offseason.

About 12 miles to run and 15 to hunt, but whos counting. Being an Urban Beagler is tough at times. My wifes family has property 120 miles from us so when we visit for a weekend I take the dogs, and durring the hunting season I make a trip or two without her just to hunt. I also go about 90 miles a few times a year for a days hunting or running with Reddog1. See you soon Chuck.
