If you are not established you are not just going to move and hunt. In theory it sounds good but in reality your stuck where you are at, or travel for some distance to hunt public. Gasoline is down to $3.20 a gallon here but a 100 mile round trip daily, well you do the math.
I drove 2 hours to meet up with Hodag then we traveled another 2 hours to push 2 buck beds! I don't know if that makes me dedicated or crazy?
I'll get back to you on that one. Two of the spots I hunt are 4 hrs 230 miles from home. I have hunted these spots for one day and then back home at night. I can't do that on a daily basis though. Financially would kill me. 8 hrs on the road and hunt too, that will also kill you. I also spend a couple days away and that is also a family hardship. I try and hunt close to home as much as possible.
