I am impressed with the number of over 1000 miles!  Looks like the oil companies made some money from us this spring....I went to Florida twice(500 round trip) Texas(2000 round trip) SD(2400 round trip) and a bunch around my home state....

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I'd say 3000-4000

Worth it. Wish I had the time to go on more hunts

I'm surprised at the number of hunters who traveled over 1000 miles. Turkey hunting can be addictive!
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

Over 3000. TN and back to St. Louis. GA and back. Closest spot in MO is 50 miles away and farthest about 250. Kansas and back

More than I thought, if you count air travel around 6500, Im a longtime fan of "You wont wish you would have stayed home or worked more when your 90" ;D

About 2,000 or more..and that was all in one state! I hate California for being some dang big!

West Augusta

Right at 3000 miles.  West Virginia to North Texas to Western Oklahoma and home and a bunch of trips around the state. Already planning for next year.

Man, some of you guys don't screw around!!! :o

I might have put on around 500 or so.  Real good hunting this year and I spent a lot more days hunting than previous years.

Just did some math, used most of my fingers and toes and came up with at least 3500 miles.

Would guess 3500. From Texas to Oklahoma to Alabama and Mississippi. Does anyone want to carpool? :cowboy:

I would say about 600 and That's not counting the 50 miles on foot.
I tried telling my wife if I hunted the whole 31 day season I'd be ripped with a 6pack again.
She said yeh but your keys won't work when you get back.lol.

Hahahahaha!! Sounds like my wife.

Btw, I lost count. I did hunt in 2 counties. The one I live in and one county over.

Hmmmm..... I'll have to sit down with a calculator. LoL - Ga, La, Ny, Nj, Wv, Oh this will take a minute. But shouldn't be too bad since I didn't do a western trip.

Well let's see.  Montana trip - 3000 miles.  Nebraska trip - 1100 miles.  Local - About 500.  All in all not bad.  At least two trips were split between three people.  Otherwise my wife would have probably packed all my stuff and put it out on the curb
