How far do you travel to your hunting spot?Do you camp/hotel or drive back each day?
Myself for deer hunting.Hunting spot 1-15minutes,spot 2-25minutes,spot 3-1.5hours.Always drive home.
Elk hunting 3.5 hours stay in hotel.

I thought I would post this just out of curiosity,and to see just how far out of the way we'd travel to get to our favorite hunting grounds.:)

ThankS for your replies.
 
about 2hours. camp there, there are no hotels anywhere near where i go and even if there where I wouldnt stay in one. usually just sleep in the back off the truck or in a tent depending.
 
depends one spot is 15 minutes another spot is 45 min and my last spot is about 1.5 hours i usualy drive back and forth but next season for bear i am probebly gonna camp out ion the back of the jeep
 
For deer I travel 5.5 hours south and stay at my parents, or a friends cabin, the same goes for elk, as neither of those species inhabit this area. For moose I travel aobut 7-7.5 hours south east, where our moose hunting crew meets and stay at a cabin over night before launching our gear filled boats to head to our moose camp. That's a long trip for moose considering I could hunt them right outside of town, but then I wouldn't be hunting with friends that I only get to see a few times a year. For caribou I'll travel a couple of hours north and stay in a camp, or even sleep in my truck. I haven't bear hunted in about 6 years, but when I get back into it I'll be doing it right near town, so I'll be at home every night.
 
For Deer, rabbits, birds and raccoons, off my back deck. Got to love living in farm land. Turkey, across the road and 50 acres back. Moose is a different story. I drive to a buddy's (10 hours) hunt his area for a couple of days (Stay at his house). Then we drive up further (10 hours) and stay at his father-in-laws or friends.
 
Elk... I travel 3 hours..hunt from buddies house or out of the back of my truck, run and gun style, find 1 that answers the call, then kill em.
Deer.. no more than 1 hr drive, and home every night.
Moose.. Truck and utility trailer crammed full. 22 hr drive without stopping except for gas and food to go. Sleep in 12 x 16 ft wall tent with wood stove for heat. Kitchen is one of them portable garages that you buy at Costco. 14 days to get it done..
 
About a half an hour to an hour in any direction from my house can put me in hunting terrain for almost anything. Just depends what I am hunting for that day. Every once and a while we will travel a long ways just to hunt different terrain with family and friends from that particular area.
 
22 hour drive from SW Ontario to our moose camp. One night in a hotel each way. We are getting to old to drive it straight through. Even if we drop all our moose the first day, we stay the week. (wives won't allow us to come home early) Then we start looking for a calf, but not too hard. Chickens are next on the menu. Some guys may even try fshing.
 
7 hour drive and worth every mile. To see 60-70 mule deer per day and 5 or 6 moose per day.......and when I guide its a 5 hour drive and 1.5 hrs in a floatplane to the best moose hunting in Alberta. No roads, no cutlines, no people. But if you get lost or hurt, you might wind up as wolf chow.
 
Depends what I'm hunting.

For turkey hunting it's a 2-hour drive from Toronto to my in-law's place...then it's a 10 minute hike from their place to 'the spot'.

For deer hunting it's just under 2 hours to my wife's uncle's place in Ingersoll and then a short hike through the fields to the stand where I bow hunt.

For waterfowl it could be a drive out to Long Point or to my in-law's place again where the geese are a plenty...

Haven't looked into moose hunting...it's on the 'to do list'.
 
elk and whitetail i walk from my house or drive 6 hours to a spot in alberta.
muley and sheep i drive about 10-15 minutes then hike.
goat i drive 2-3 hours to where draws are a sure thing.

this year might drive the 12-14 hours or so to region 7 for moose. and one of these years might make the trek to the queen charlottes with a freezer and a generator in the back of the truck and try to fill it.
 
Anybody know any decent spots near Waterloo? Not looking to steal your spot, but I'm new out from Vancouver...
Would gladly trade for knowledge of a couple spots my dad and I use near Kamloops.
 
An hour or two. One of these days I want to head up north though. That would make it a 6-8 hour venture. I camp whenever possible.
