How close is your stand

Post by Shotnbeer »

Was wondering how close your deer stand is to your house. I have one about 30 yards from the back door. I use it in a pinch and have taken deer from it. Should just sit on the back porch. The next closest is about 200 yards.

About 109 miles but that may change this year. I might do some hunting around home.

I'm 5 minutes from 76,000 acres of deer/turkey infested woods.

I'm about a 45 minute drive. Add another 20 minutes to an hour of walking to get to the stand. I prefer to be in stand at least an hour before leal light, sometimes more depending on the stand location. Which means I have to get up pretty darn early after going to bed too late. But I love it.

Roughly 100 yards to the first stand. Wife says no hunting any closer than that.
