Gas prices didn't affect my hunting at all this year!! I had 9 days off for my 1 tag (cow elk), and was successful. I have gone out a couple of times for small game and birds, but nothing real serious, as I usually don't get too excited about that, have to be in the right mood I guess. Now I am just waiting for some good tracking snow, so I can get out and start working with my Redbone and my Walker/Blue-Tick for some Mt. Lions!! Can't wait, should be fun!!
