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.

Married As the crow flies about 2 miles but bout 7 to actually drive. Have a cabin but no power but have a propain generator and lights. Spent about 10-12 nights a season. Don't come home for days sometimes. Quite. Only lights to be seen at night are stars.

405 miles to the camp. I’ve stayed as many as 21 days straight. That’s a long time away from home
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

Happily divorced since 1985 175 miles one way. Cabin with all amenities Grandkids when my son brings them(every other weekend) 2 or 3 nights to a week at a time Quite rural but 5 to 15 minutes from required supplies Had this lease for 21 years now and love it
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I’m 25 minutes from our land. We have a 100’ metal building and have been in the slow process of building an apartment in it. We have a few campers and single wide on the property, but I ain’t sleeping in those things until I give them a little TLC. I’ve never stayed the night up there and may or may not after we finish the living quarters in the building.

I wish my wife would agree to build a house up there, 2 miles of bluff line. Gorgeous views. It’s to far out in the “boondocks” for her liking though. Maybe one day.

Yep when my boys get a bit older I'll probably join a club just to get away with them..or build a cabin on creek...i got more land than I can hunt now and young kids so it don't make sense to drive even tho deer pop sucks

105 miles door to door. I have an old construction trailer we remodeled. I spend 2 or 3 nights a week there during hunting season and maybe 1 day a week the rest of the year There is always something that needs doing.
