I ran into two guys from Houston,Tx this afternoon.They were refueling at the Summit C-Store (Soldier Summit) They had driven 1500+/- miles to hunt elk and still had 150 to go. Who can beat that. What is the longest drive, one way, to hunt Elk, deer, sheep or whatever this year?

Before I moved to NV, we once drove 1,730 miles or 28 hours straight from West Virginia to Vernal, Utah, on my first Western hunt. The drive out is easy when your fueled with anticipation and excitement. The drive back is grueling.

A year ago 3 friends and I drove from Spanish Fork, UT to Thompson Manitoba, flew to Churchhill, then flew to just below the Arctic Circle to hunt Caribou. Awesome hunt!! I think the driving portion of the trip was over 3,600 round trip. All good on the way, cause we were going hunting and nothing was going to get in the way of that, but the ride home SUCKED!!!

Also made the drive to Alaska. It was mainly for work, but we did fit in our fair share of hunting and fishing. Does that count? I believe thats over 3,000 miles one way.

Maybe I lose.

From my house to the tent is 1 1/2 hours....to the spot where the deer has been bedding.....another 40 minutes of climbing.

On second thought....maybe that's a win.

Within the shadows, go quietly.

North Carolina to eastern Montana last year for a deer and antelope hunt.4,988 total miles round trip. 1st day drove 17 hrs by myself as my partner had a suspended drivers license popped on him and that was a bummer.Will probably do again as flying costs has gotten so ridcoulous.

This Year I am driving from Camp Lejeune North Carolina back home to Ferron Utah with my wife to hunt General season elk and Muleys. One way is 2243 miles. We are planning on bring more household items and the meat back with us. Might I add she is pregnant with our first too!!! Needless to say it is a long trip and I have an awesome wife who also loves to hunt!

Okay, the plans for this year. No B.S., Drive from Pa to RockSprings Wy to help out my cousin who drew unit 100 Elk, on the way back home stop in Wright Wy to hunt Antelope a few days, Round trip of 4050 Miles. Then drive back out to Colorado to hunt elk and mule deer with my father inlaw and a friend round trip of 3892 miles. It gets better, then in Febuary drive to New Mexico to help my father on his Orxy hunt on the white sands missle base, 3992 miles round trip. THAT IS A TOTAL of 11,934 hunting trip miles. Just picked up a new 2010 FORD FX4 for the driving. I have done two trips in a year before but this is the first three bagger. So do I get the IRON MAN award or the biggest idiot award. Total trip miles will be well over 11,934.
