50 minutes, but it's a one buck county. Sometimes it's more than time and gas money you have to consider.

I'm only 10 minutes from my lease where I hunt now, but I used to drive 4 hours. A lot of people drive longer than that.

I used to drive 2.5 hours every weekend. But I work 4 -10 hour days and it made the long trip worth while. My new lease is only 1 hour away and that and that is an easy trip. I used to take off work at 2:00 and drive like hell and I could be in blind at 4:30, then drive home after I hunted. I wouldn`t do that now with the price of gas being so high.

20 minutes to the lease......I remember those days when I use to hunt around Four Forks, sure was nice. From Angleton to Four Forks was 30 minutes. Hunt a few hours in the morning and then go to work on evenings.

I drive one hour from my front door to my stand . I hunt a 1 buck county like Dave , but one good buck is enough for me and it leaves more time to be in the woods .

Depending on the traffic through Ft Worth 4.5 to 6 hours in the same direction you go. Don't mind the drive and the mulies are a bonus
