30-6 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 What sort of mileage do you boys (and girls) find acceptable to regulary shoot/ferret whatever? Not the odd trip goose shooting/deer stalking, but week in week out driving. On average for a good days sport I need to travel about 50/60 miles round trip. Is there anyone does more than this for a day out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conygree Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Feel very lucky with only 12 miles round trip for 4,500 acre estate full of woods etc mostly to myself. I even tie visits in with my work - as I keep gettting lost on the way home quite a few time a week. I love it when my boss phones when I'm in the woods with technical questions when I'm tooled up. normal reply," I don't have that information to hand at the moment".
