Gas is a non issue for me. I can hunt all 9 days of a hunt on less than one tank of gas and I drive to the hunting area every morning. I don't camp anymore.
I live on just my SS check. It's stretch as far as it can go now. Any extra money spent comes from food money. I paid non resident fees to Colorado for 50 years before moving here. I paid my dues. I don't want to retire from hunting because I can't afford it. I want it to be my choice because i'm too old to do it. At 75 i'm not ready yet. The low income resident hunting fees may be my salvation if it goes through. We'll see how it goes.
