In reading many posts on several Pa forums it seems most folks dont like to travel far to hunt. What is the distance most of you travel to hunt?

Whats the minimum distance you can be from a permanent structure in PA? What ever it is thats how far I travel.

Somewhere between 45 yards and 20 miles.

I can honestly say that I'm very fortunate to live where I do because of the abundance of huntable property in the immediate area.

It isn't that I don't LIKE to travel far to hunt, it's just that it is no longer necessary. When we used to live in Delaware Co., I used to leave around 0100 to drive up to this area, get dressed, load the kayak w/ my decoys, shotgun, etc., paddle the two miles to where I hunted duck (which I took about 40 minutes to do so as to not overheat), then laid out my decoy spread and I was all set up by 0530 and ready for shooting hours around 0600. I'd hunt all day, reverse the order and head home to roll in around 2000-2100.

A day trip of around 240 miles and 20 hours.

15 min. to 4.5 hours. I love the Tioga trip we take every year, and will take a trip to Shahola area for bear which is about 2.5 hours.

To get to where I normally hunt, 30 - 45 minutes, up to an hour+ depending on how far back in we are going and if any dipshits decide they should park ON the road in instead of pulling off it

before all the transplants moved in it was a max of 15 mins, and that includes letting the truck warm up a bit before we drove

a few hundred yards to about 10 miles. usually more at the few hundred yards, for obvious reasons.

In Pa. 25 mile radius, outside Pa. I`ve been to New brunswick, Ontario, Alberta, Newfoundland, British Columbia and Manitoba. In the states I`m going to Maine this year, love S.C. Kentucky, Mississippi, N.C. and N.J. If I have some money next year, its going to be out west for Mulies. My Dream is going to Alaska.
