How far do you hunt from where you park?
Just curious. I hunt on public land(no gun deer hunting aloud, only archery), and I go 3 miles. It was 2, but they moved the parking lot 1 more away from where it was
. I can' t use any motorized vehicle. I can ride my moutain bike 2 1/2 miles down the graveled levee, then I carry my stand the last 1/2 mile. I made a 2 wheel cart, which I attach to the bike for hauling in my climber stand or hauling out my deer. This year I want to make a rack for carring my stand on my bike, so that I can just use the cart for the deer.

It depends on where I' m setting up. I have a few places where I can be hunting with-in 150 yards of my truck. MOST of my spots though are 1/4 mile to a mile + away.

I ride my Big bear to all my huntin spots whether on our lease or on public land. I usually park within 150-200yds of my huntin spot. sometimes a little further, depends on the area I' m huntin.

Usually between a 1/4 mile and mile..depends on where I hunt. If I am with my fatherinlaw...closer. He cannot get around as well since his knee surgery.

id have to say no more than a mile but mostly within a couple hundred yards because im fortunate enough to have roads cut through most of my hunting areas. and its all public hunting grounds.

Considering the fact that the area I hunt has roads interlaced throughtout it I think it would be relatively hard to walk more than a half mile from any given road. 
Having said that I would guess approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mile to any given stand.

RE: How far do you hunt from where you park?
I' m with PABowhntr. I hunt about 1,000 acres and there are logging roads all thru it. Also my parents house sits on one side of it, and I often hunt on the edge of their pasture which is only 300-400yrds from their house. But if hunt the interior woods, I drive my 4-wheeler about 1/4 mile or a little farther, from where I hunt.
