One thing I've learned from this topic is... A bunch of guys on here don't know how far a mile is. Haha. 
If you have a topo it should be real easy to figure out how far a mile is even if your trail is real crooked if you know where you are walking.I just scale a bread tie and use it to measure. Another way is you can time it or do a pace count really no reason to not know how far a mile is. You might not be 100% but close but after saying that, I have walked for what I thought was about three miles but found out later to be only about 3/4s of a mile. lol

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.
There is an area i like to hunt inside the s cherokkee that is a good two hour walk before day break if you want to be there by first light.

It ain't the two miles in I would worry about, it's the 2 mile DRAG out!!!!!!!!

Every situation is different, I have walked anywhere from a minute to 50 minutes when necessary!

I walk about 300 to 400 yds on average to each of my stand locations, from an old logging road or from my Grandmother's place.

I would walk two miles to get to what I thought to be a good deer, but haven't ever found sign anywhere I hunt that deep from where I have to park. On average I'm walking 400 yards.

I hunt WMA and my best spot is my farthest back, prolly bout a mile. I timed it the other day. Took right at 17 minutes to walk from the truck.
