moxy 617 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Closest 2 min drive. Furthest 6 hr drive!! That is one hell of a drive , is it good though ? I get there a few times a year but tie it in when I'm working down there. It's only rats but plentiful and beats being stuck in the digs. Good? It's ok. But I wouldn't be driving all that way just to shoot rats. I've plenty of that 5 minutes away. Quote Link to post
treecreeper 1,136 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 5mins away not the best but handy. another 15mins away or 2.5 hours. Quote Link to post
villaman 9,979 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 So i am not the only one who drives a 4 hour round trip then , thank god for that , i thought i was taking this shooting thing to seriously 1 Quote Link to post
jamesS410 106 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 My closest I walk out the front door and I'm there, the furthest I have to travel is a 20min ride in the truck It means I can be anywhere on the spur of the moment if the mood takes me. I've got about 900 acres to shoot over, which I know isn't much compared to some on here, but it's an area I can keep on top of with out over stretching my abilities (I hunt and shoot to wind down so I like not being under pressure trying to keep too many people happy) Quote Link to post
moxy 617 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 To be honest driving a distance for good ground is normal. Most of my decent permission is a good half hour away. As good ground round and about is taken or spoiled by dickheads you have to look further afield. My mates just landed a load of good permission which is a 2 hr drive away. Rabbits. Pigeon and deer. The funny thing is he got it because he asked!! Unlike the idiots that just rock up and poach. Quote Link to post
