Most is a few minutes w a few exceptions. Closest I can walk to. Gonna check some new spots maybe 10-15 minutes away this year

3 hours for my two favorite areas.  6 to 7 hours to a couple more.  We have birds within 20 minutes but it's previously been by limited drawing only.  It just went to a general tag, so will be great for getting my wife and teenagers out.

Anywhere from walking out the front door to a long 5 minute drive.

Used to be 3 minutes up the hill from me but now it is 20-35 minutes.

Because of my car accident I was unable to hunt for 17 years, I went back to get permission but now they have family that hunts it.

20 minutes to my closest spot and a little over an hour to my furthest spot.

I have gobblers that literally wake me up if I'm sleeping with the windows open.  Usually within 75 yards.  I can't hunt them unfortunately.  Trying to buy the property now.  My farm is about twenty minutes and then I've got anywhere between a 2 and 20 minute walk.

The absolute nearest place I could hunt turkeys is about an hour and a half.  Most of time, however, the places I hunt are two to three hours drive.  Just depends on where I decide to go on any given hunt.

As far as it takes.
That goes for me also, my home state, its still a 2hr drive to our private land. But SD BH then WY BH is a 9hr. But then Florida next week by plane long trip, then to Oklahoma April 5 don't know how far don't care will get there some time. Got my License for Wi in May but not sure if I can squeeze it in or not. Do wildlife removal, excluded Bats from houses. Have a good problem in a way, more jobs then day light to do them. But have to pay for this addition some way. When I fully retire maybe I to can too spend three months turkey hunting, like some lucky people get to do.

Small highly pressured and low bird population public is 20-40min.

Any private ground I have access to is 3-24hrs away with the majority of it residing in another state 4.5hrs away. Lots of weekend trips for me.

Two private spots, about 10 minutes. very large public spot, 30 minutes to a little over an hour (Same place - it is huge and I frequent several areas).

I literally could walk out my front door, cross the road and start hunting but I usually drive the 1 minute to park closer so I'm not walking a mile ( usually my ol man is with me so the shorter the walk the better for him). That is one spot, I have several spots within a 5 to 15 minute drive in a complete radius around my house. I also have several spots up to 1 to 1.5 hrs away but find myself going tho them less and less. Why travel when I got it close to home. Realize how good I have it after reading some reply's in this thread!! Good luck this spring guys!!!
