how far is to far?
I was recently shown a new spot, with alot of acreage. I was told the front half is hunted very heavily. So I would be better off hunting the back end of the property. I took a pedometer with me the other day and it is 1.7 miles to the stand. To add to this there are 2 very steep hills to go up and down. Would you walk this far back? How far is to far?

Hmm, good question. 2 miles is a heck of a walk through the PA woods. I'd be more concerned with having to drag a deer that far out of the woods. If possible I'd be looking into buying an ATV.

ATV? What did the pioneers ever do without them? Gees, just bone the thing out and throw it in a pack. You're lucky if you only have to hike 2 miles around here, and two hills? How about two mountains?!

I hunt some stand that are les than 100 yards from a road, I hunt others that are 2 miles or more. Go where the deer are and the people ain't. Sometimes it's closer than you think.

Doesn't matter to me how far I have to go to get away from other hunters that want to hunt the same land.
I have two stands one is about 1 & 1/2 mile out and the other is almost 3 miles.
