Just gonna offer my advice if some reader finds themselves in my situation. We can’t all take off of work, buy non resident license, spend gas to travel to all 4 corners of the earth. In such cases I don’t feel I’m at a disadvantage. In fact I believe home court advantage was named for a reason. I will be the first to tell ya I am likely to get dusted in every other counties woods and water in the great entire USA. But I tell ya what…. I ain’t gonna get beat in mine. I would rather be great right here than mediocre everywhere. Prob sounds sorry but the best times of my life are when folks pull up to a public boat ramp or woodlot and say that (f-bomb) is here.

I love that feeling. Why? Cause I worked my entire life for that edge. I don’t give a flying hoot if that makes me a one trick pony or not. What I get a kick out of is big money bringing it down and getting dusted by a guy without a boat or shooting a stickbow. There is great benefits to hunting where u live! A hunter who spends 150 days a year in the woods is leaps and bounds above those that must travel and only get a couple weekends a year in. Beat em with effort, determination, and guts! One thing money will never be able to buy is time. That’s the equalizer for rednecks who set there life up to hunt/fish. Choose wisely and live with your choices!

Well said, very well said.

I did the travel hunting thing in my younger days, that's past me now. Now I stick too my home state and more and more each year it seems I lesson up the amount of public I hunt to now I'm down to just a few select areas.

But I know those areas inside and out and can get it done there, just about anytime.

You cant get good at killing them, if you dont put the time in to finding them and you dont get good at finding them without being in the woods.

I agree.

Although I am pretty opposite in my strategy, it’s because my town sucks :lol:

If you live anywhere with half decent deer hunting, you should be that local who is ‘lucky’ just about every year before you begin traveling to hunt. Because if you can’t do it with home court advantage you will struggle on the road. Unless you live somewhere that is pretty tough and you are going somewhere quite a bit ‘better’. But the grass ain’t always greener…

No sarcasm. I listen to a bit of everything (with the exception of rap or whatever u call it) Don’t really care for the new stuff though.

Yeah I can get it done locally and have seemingly endless public land options and real good private to hunt if I want. But I get bored of it pretty quick. I’d rather travel on an out of state adventure just about any day. It’s more about having fun and making memories and new experiences for me

I understand! Just personally don’t have the boredom problem. I luv hunting a stand that I’ve hunted for 20 years and reliving all those old memories. I like knowing what deer will do b4 they do it. Will say I would travel to Kansas or Iowa for some top shelf private. But that’s because the juice is worth the squeeze. I can guarantee I’m not gonna travel to New York or Michigan to hunt whitetails. I see no point in it. I mean if it’s about challenge I would rather pick up a spear and save the gas. Now that is just me and I’ve never been accused of having some grand visions.

Nothing wrong with hunting the home turf. But I travel so I can actually hunt for a week straight. I have too much stuff going on around home with little time working full time and farming too. Only days I get time to hunt around home is in the rain and snow. Not complaining that's just the way it is. When I take a trip there are no distractions I can just hunt. Those are the vacations I get to enjoy.

Now that I understand! What I miss the most is the old days of “hunting camp.” Now I come home from a day of hunting and it’s just back to the typical grind. Don’t get the full adventure factor.

I have never traveled to hunt…yet anyways. However I do hunt multiple counties and properties in wisconsin that offer different terrain. Personally there’s nothing like the hills of western wisconsin for me, that’s where I wanna be as much as I can .
