I don't know what kind of bike you are talking about but I'll strap that bow case on the V-Twin in a heartbeat. 46 mpg.Can't beat those snake boots for riding anyway. lol

Only the scouting trips. The OPEC (or however it is spelled) coalition could charge $120 a barrel and it wouldn't keep me one day from being in the woods...

...even if I had to ride my mountain bike with my treestand strapped to my back and the bow strapped to the handlebars!

Well I only have about a 15 min. drive from school to where I hunt and can only hunt two nights a week, so I shouldn't have to change much. We might as well get used to it...it doesn't seem like gas prices are coming down anytime soon. The price of deer meat is on the rise.

Well iam planning on hunting less, i have too travel at least 40 miles just too hunt public land and my honey hole is about 1.5 hrs, Iam not sure if i even make it down there this year, Ya know what really gripes me about this gas price jumping so much, is that every other day they have another excuss why they had too raise it, its going too coast us all in everything we do or want, I think its about time these politicans did something, hell do they even pay for there gas,i think there shuttled around the country on are dime? I think its time we took a good look at are politicans and vote for someone thats like us below average income, the person that has walked the walk. Iam sorry to get so hot about this iam just sick of the whole gas thing..........

We'll probably just make plans to "truckpool" to the farm instead of everybody just heading down when they are ready. I guess we should have been doing this anyway.

Yes, it probably will.... I have been toying with the idea of taking a trip to KY or OH this season for a nice out-of-state hunting trip, but with the gas prices the way they are, I am reconsidering.

I even have to limit my scouting time too, which really bites the big one. [:'(]

Not in the least...I hunt pretty much close to home, I'll hunt the exact same way I have in the past....I just hope this new Titan doesn't burn it like the former Dodge did...[&:]

I just bought a 05' F-150 extended cab....27 gallon tank, and about 15-16mpg around locally.....around the same on the interstate....maybe 1 mile per gallon better.

The gas was around 2.35 a gallon last week...but like i said earlier it's up there. The gas won't effect my hunting too much, but does hender vacation type plans and activities.
