I know personally speaking my out-of-town trips for this fall are going to be severely cut back by the price of gas. At $90+ per tank it makes those couple hundred mile one-way trips a lot more expensive, that's for sure. On top of that with the economy in the toilet a lot of businesses are slow right now which is hurting people even more, especially the blue collar worker who makes up the majority of your hunters.

Every outfitter I've talked to so far this year has said bookings are definitely down, so there's no doubt in my mind that it's having an effect on their business just like everyone else.
