This is something I really would enjoy doing, but just don't know if I have it in me at my age. Very tempted.

I wouldn't hunt that spot without game camera evidence of a big one. Bingo, we have a winner! Put a camera in there and leave it for several weeks, and only after evidence, hunt it with a gobbler lounger or cushion from the ground. Too far for me to walk.

I've got a place I have been saving for the rut that's close to a 2 mile walk into a big river bottom. However I have a back up plan for getting one out. My stand is sitting near a creek where three finger ridges come out of a bedding area. Once it levels out there is a little slough coming off of the river that's barely ankle deep. If I kill one in there I have an uncle who lives about three miles up the river on the water. I've already spoken to him about hauling me up there and picking up a deer if it comes to that. So at worst it's going to be a 40 - 50 yard drag to the river. Aint no way in hades I'm dragging one 2 miles. Like others have said, I'm not that mad at them.

After reading all the comments about that being too far now I really want to hunt it. Knowing that most of you won't venture far from the road. PM me when you go, I might be up for it around the holidays.

I'd have atleast a good survival kit/pack that would last a few days in case I got hurt in those type terrains, especially hiking 2 miles in. And some kind of good communication or tracking for the family to find me.
I couldn't imagine pulling a hoss deer or even a small doe out 2 miles. We occasionally walk a half mile (dirt road) or so in, but noway I would head out in the terrain your talking about for 2 miles. Good luck though.

I'm hunting Skyline Mountain and there are plenty of places more than two miles off the road. Show us on a map....or I will go hunting with you if you don't want to show everyone your spot.
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

These mtns surely are a work out to hunt in. If you walk from the top to the bottom in a straight line your talking 400 to 600 yds. It might be a mile in a back and forth pattern. It's the grade not the distance that's a killer. As said before top of Garrett mtn would be about as far away from road as you can get.
