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.

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.

Not married. No kids. Camp is 58 miles from the house. Stayed 13 nights at camp this season. 1 night opening weekend of gun season and then every weekend in January except for the last. 2 of those where 4 day weekends.
We don't have a trailer or house though. We sleep in storage sheds. We spend most of our time outside by the fire.

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.

I’m married with two kids and I stayed at the camp a lot. I would get my wife and kids to come up and hunt with me some but sometimes I’d stay for three or four days if the weather was good but for the most part I stay two days then come home. This was mainly early season and all of January to February. Didn’t hunt much in December

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
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Grown son and Daughter. Camp is 2-1/2 hours away. Son goes to camp with me most of the time and we have some local land to hunt also. Daughter doesn't hunt at all. I have another daughter that is 16. She goes with me sometimes but doesn't hunt these days. She just likes to hang out at camp. She has never squeezed the trigger on a deer but has sat by my side as I did. I probably spent 16-20 nights in camp this last year.

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.

I have a grown and married son who is also a member. We stayed at our trailer at least 15 times. Only have a 25 minute drive. Wife stayed a few times. Always an enjoyable time at the camp. Power water and dish network. Not really roughing it.
