Married with 2 kids 8 and 10. One property is a mile up the road, the other is about 10 miles. I have a small cabin at the farthest location. Power, water, toilet and a roof over my head. Spent about 4 weekends at the cabin but only sat in a stand 5 times.

Camp is 15 mi away with a barndo. Married with a 2 year old at home. I didn't stay a single night because I didn't need to. Will be a different story during turkey season.

Spinoff to number of hunts thread. If you: -Live within an 1 or 2 hour of your camp ( call this easy driving distance for this survey) - have a house , trailer or camper to stay in -are married, but don't have children at home ( rarely stayed overnight until kids were HS age, so from 1995 until 2013)
How many nights did you stay away from home? Stay defined as one night.
This is my situation, and a weird year with weather, but I "stayed" at camp 9 times.
Just curious. Not sure if this is a lot or not compared to others.I would have liked to have stayed more. I have a 100mi drive. Wife and no kids at home. Wife occasionally goes to camp with me because I have a 3br/2ba singlewide with full kitchen including refrigerator/freezer, central heat and A/C and satellite TV. When I go, I'm staying 2 nights minimum barring something unforeseen. I'd guess I stayed 20 nights or more.

Married with 2 grown kids. Went to the camp every weekend from September first until last weekend. Kids came in most weekends and the wife even came for a couple.
Camphose is a misnomer. It has full kitchen, laundry, hot water, central ac, dish network. There isnt much I have at home that I dont have at the camp.
Camp is about an hour away....
I love my country, but don't trust my government.
