[QUOTE="Nvhunter, post: 286744, member: 11885"] It is difficult to find areas far from a road in the US anymore. Backpacker magazine published - the furthest distance in a roadless area is 20 or 22 miles at this time. That stated. Most roadless areas that I have hunted are generally 10 miiles long and 8 miles wide. Plenty of rough mountain terrain with elevation gains of 2000 - 3000 feet from that last road. Packing in is a necessity. Generally, I will prestash some equipment for the high camp during several pre-hunt scouting trips. Then pack it all out after the hunt. Upon harvesting a deer it takes about 2 days to clear the high camp and bring the harvest down the mountain. I generally have two camps. One at the end of the road, near the jeep. The high camp is for 2 to 3 day durations near the top of the ridgeline and is generally 2k - 3k higher than base camp. Can't wait to go again this year. [/QUOTE]
