How far do you have to travel to even hunt?

[steve white]

I am so deep in a metroplex that I feel like I have to travel about an hour in any direction (or more) to get off concrete and into the woods! How are prospects for you?

 

[WAB]

50 yards. Actually out the window if the need arises.

About 40 minutes. Don't have land access any closer.

Same as WAB, just open the door and go,

 

[Sourdough]

Black bear and moose on our deck and under the eves of the cabin frequently, so theres that. Coyotes, Lynx and brown bear within a 100 yards of the cabin.

You should leave the city immediately. All of societies problems come from the cities. Nothing good happens there cause it isn’t real. Just saying.

You hit center of black with that comment!

40 minutes from garage to sitting on the stand.

Safe hunting

 

[JimP]

10 to 15 minutes for mule deer, elk, and black bears

 

[Trogon]

90 minutes from home to a lease in northern Kentucky. Public land in Ohio, about 45 minutes.

 

[mdwest]

It’s about 3.5 hours to my primary deer woods… I can get to good ducks on public land in less than an hour… decent hogs in about an hour as well…

 

[buffybr]

This bull was about 200 yards above my house on my land...

As was this buck...

 

[WAB]

My goal has always been to retire on property with good hunting out the back door. I’ve been very blessed to see that come to reality.

 

[Scott CWO]

Deer, coyotes, mountain lion and bobcat zero minutes. Elk five minutes. Pronghorn five minutes. Black bear ten minutes. Bighorn sheep fifteen minutes. Moose fifteen minutes.

[Rubberhead]

I have a 2014 model 4wd with 155k miles and I work from home...

 

[K E Johnson]

Have taken quite a number or whitetails and some turkeys within 100 yards of the house. My kids watched from the windows as I took a doe after stepping outside a few years ago.
I legally could apply for black bear. Good luck with seeing sign, let alone taking one though.
I do travel 4 miles away for a lot of my hunting these days. Have other options, but like to stick closer to home for same availability.

 

[fourfive8]

Back yard if I wanted to. Two or three of these come by about this time every year and hang around for 2-3 weeks. No desire to hunt around here or shoot one even though the unit is open for most species.

And some years, quite a few of these April and May around the house. This tom just outside the yard fence.

 

[Andrew62]

Very blessed to have 13, 30, and 85 acre parcels all less than 10 minutes from my house. Last turkey I shot I simply raised the window and shot it at about 10 yards. Black bears routinely on my back porch as well.

 

[sierraone]

About 35 miles on county roads to my deer lease, if I have no need to stop.
