Atv,s have changed how I hunt along with age,how close do you get where park from where you hunt?

Atv use

Sometime I'm as close as 1/4 mile, but occasionally hunt 2 miles from the SUV. Motorized vehicles are not allowed past the gates in the WMA's where I hunt. That's why I have a game cart... 58 years young ;-)

I'm seldom more than a mile from my parked vehicle. Our own land lies in the valley between two paved roads, and the state lands I hunt all have a very useful network of driveable logging roads.

I have a couple places I drive my ATV right up to. Cover the front, side and back with camo and take a seat on the side of the ATV with my gun across the seat. Does not seem to bother the deer at all.

I haven't fire up an ATV in a couple of years now...welk, NOT to hunt anyway.
I can park within a quarter mile of any of my stands.
A quarter in and a quarter out and I get my half mile walk in on hunting days! LOL!
Yeah. Age, a metallic hip, crushed heel and a half dozen other old breaks and walking hurts, but a quarter mile stroll through the woods makes me feel better! LOL!

How far can you shoot in that spot? Looks a lot like where I hunt except without the snow.

Since I hunt private land, I can drive my golf cart to within a couple of hundred yards of my chosen stand. On some stands, due to terrain, I can get a good deal closer than that without fear of spooking game. I always park and approach from downwind.

A while back ,I planted some Egyptian wheat it grows to 10' I drive my ATV in to it, and walk to my stand about 30yd. check it out on YouTube Egyptian Wheat as a cover.

I am on a little 10' high hill and off to the left is actually where I get the deer. At the bottom there is a small spring where I keep a mineral block, then a grassy area for about 80yds. That is where the deer come from and then 10yds from me make a turn to go around a beaver pond and go out of sight. So, I have a lot of 20 to 30yd shot opportunities.

Jimbo, the woods looks thick. Did you blasé out shooting lanes?
Maybe we should look for a sale on a four wheeler for brother Pig Hunter?
He could take in a cot and a sleeping bag for an afternoon nap after lunch. ?

Most of my stands are within a couple hundred yards of old tote roads. I always walk in but the walking distance depends on the wind and which stand I select.

[Red Angus]

Depending on the property I'm hunting, I'll either get far enough away from the road that my 4-wheeler is out of sight and then walk from there or drive on in and park within a couple hundred yards of where I'm hunting. I have hunted off the 4wheeler as jhjimbo does, but rarely do so as many of my preferred hunting sites don't work well for such a method.

As a side note, in my county it is rare to get more than ½ mile from a maintained road and 40-160 acre parcels are the norm.

LOL! Can't use motorized vehicles where I hunt.
