I was once on a lease that was ten minutes away. It turned out not to be a good thing when the wife felt I was close enough that she could expect me to be back home often. Now I drive 80 miles which is still convenient, but far enough that more lengthy stays are necessary.

Re: How far do you drive one way to the hunting spot - 12/06/13 02:51 PM
Back porch/yard has gotten me a few hogs, back pasture one spike and a lot of trapped pigs. I can hunt one spot about 25 minutes across town any time I want, and a couple others around town for hogs when it isn't deer season. None of these are good spots, but a fair spot close by is better than a great spot a long way away.
