What do you all normally do when traveling out of town/state for trips? I’m in the process of booking hotel rooms for my 3 trips this year….cost for 3 night stays is just as much as out of state license, if not more.

When you sleep in vehicle are you parked at the gate you want to hunt or in a Walmart parking lot (something similar)I've slept many night in vehicle my preference is always to camp. I might get cheap room on occasion but don't wanna be tied to a hotel room with a reservation in case need move areas of state which has happened few times or tag out early and be ready move on. My opinion isvsave the hotel money use it for gas or more tags. There are some things I cheap out on like where I lay my head cause I don't spend that much time there anyway or food cause in can live off beans and bologna sandwiches with some good cafe hot meals mixed in but I don't care to burn gas or license fees.
I don't prefer the parking lot to noisy for me but I will if have to spent plenty nights at gate or some side rd on public but only short stay. Older I get more I like stretch out little so I always try pitch tent when possible most places won't let you setup camp at gates so does make for drive sometimes to campground then others can walk right out camp to hunt.

I have a permit for VA mid April then one of my permits for NC is a 2 hr 30 min drive from my house so trying to figure out something for that so I’m not driving back and forth each day. Then another permit for nc is 4 hours away.I don't prefer the parking lot to noisy for me but I will if have to spent plenty nights at gate or some side rd on public but only short stay.

Figure in gas cost versus lodging … during deer season we stay in a cheap hotel a lot simply because it costs just as much in gas if we went home and came backI have a permit for VA mid April then one of my permits for NC is a 2 hr 30 min drive from my house so trying to figure out something for that so I’m not driving back and forth each day.

Amen!One thing to keep in mind if going the campground route is to make sure that they dont have a gate they lock nightly so you cant get out.
