Default Gas Prices hindering hunting?

Gas prices are ridiculous, but they didn't keep me from hunting this year.They just kept me a little closer to home. Just curious, How did gas prices affect everyone else?

Gas was $3.21 a gallon during hunting season, didn't keep me out of the woods.

Gas prices didn't keep me out of the woods, or prevent me from having my best season ever.....BUT....they did hinder how far I traveled, and the frequency.

NO, wont let it affect the thing I love.

Did try and combine trips to the store, etc though to cut down.

Definately, but I have some great news. I just saved a bunch of money on my gas by moving closer to within 15 miles of where I hunt on public land!

And I have a brand new Black Ice! [8D]

LOL!

With all the other expenses that go along with hunting...gas is usually just an afterthought
