Anywhere between 5 and 6 from home in south Austin to our place in Val Verde county depending on how many times the wife needs to stop. considering we go out there about twice a month year round you would think the pickup would know it's way by now.

About 5 hours. Worth it to be in true west Texas.

Right at 2:20 door to door. Hunted the same general area since 1989. Due to increased traffic getting out of DFW heading west, I usually take a half day off on Fridays so am on the road no later than 1:00.

Just under 2 hours. Not bad. Hopefully there won't be TMS traffic on 114 at 1 tomorrow. I can't stand driving 35 through Denton on a Friday.

4.5 hours, I wish it was a shorter drive but I've been doing it for 8 years now so I've accepted that it is what it is.

About 2 hours. Wylie to Thurber.
Last couple of leases were also about a 2 hour drive, but to the east.
Sure am glad to be out of east Texas for a change.

We used to hunt Sutton County and that was 5 hours on blacktop and then 45 minutes of dirt roads to get to the cabin.

Now its 45 minutes to Wise County or an easy two hours to R-Star

I have 3 leases. From my door one is a 200 acre bow lease (my choice on bow only, not a rule) 10 minutes to the south. Another is a 600 acre gun and bow lease 45 minutes to the north. The other is a 300 acre gun and bow 35 minutes to the west.


Silver spurs and gold tequila
keep me hanging on.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
