2 miles is a good estimate.

You have my utmost respect. I would quit hunting before I walked 2 miles to a stand.

I am just trying to decide if I want to walk about 2 miles back into a WMA. There is a spot surrounded by fields that looks promising. They say the farther you go back into a WMA the better.

TOO far

Thats a tough one to answer..Some stands are real close and can drive my truck to them pretty close while others are on the other side of the property and if i could walk a straight line,it would be probably 500yds,but I can't,I have to walk around the edge of the property on a road,which is about a half a mile.So I say half a mile is all im willing to walk..Because remember,you have to drag what ever you kill back out..I find it hard to believe that people walk over 1 mile to their hunting spot..Think about it,when you walk,you probably average 3 miles per hour..But factor walking in the woods,in the dark,while trying to be quite its probably more like 1.5 MPH..So people who say they walk 2 miles to their stand,thats gonna take atleast an hour to do so.Unless your a speed walker.. LOL Im not calling anyone out,Im just saying...

It takes about an hour and 15 minutes in some cases. Good trails that allow for that distance help a lot but in some cases those good trails don't exist. I feel that someone who goes that distance NEEDS to have a deer cart to get the deer out within a reasonable amount of time and with as little effort as possible.

I keep a deer cart in my truck during deer season. When I do make a kill, I hike back out and swap out my hunting gear for a Camelback and a game cart that folds into a backpack. This can sometimes mean 6-8 miles of walking with the last trip pulling the cart. Brutal, but again, all part of the game. If I were lazy and unmotivated, I'd go to the grocery store.

One thing I've learned from this topic is... A bunch of guys on here don't know how far a mile is. Haha.

I often times walk more than a mile during rifle season. Most adult men average 2.5-3.0 mph walking when walking steady without stops. If you walk 20-30 minutes to your stand site you have most likely walked a mile or close to it. Many mornings I leave the truck one hour before daylight so I can walk to my stand without being rushed and hot when I arrive. Some days I hunt closer to the truck too. It all depends on the day and the wind.

This morning I walked pretty rapid down a logging rd for right at 30 mins. I climbed a pretty steep ridge for nearly three quarters of the way. GPS says I'm 0.46 miles away. Of course I walked further than that since that's a straight line from here.

Might turn the tracker on for the walk out and get an exact measurement.
