RE: Does the prices of Gas affect
 

I has definitely affected turkey season already - didn't scout much, and I have recently traded in my Jeep wrangler which was hitting about 12-13 miles to a gallon for a small truck at about 22 miles to the gallon - I miss the jeep but not the $120 week gas bill

RE: Does the prices of Gas affect
 

Gas is $3.60 a gallon in my area. It doesn't hurt me yet because I'm not really going to the woods much at all. However, next week I'm going to central Pa to do some native trout fishing, so it will be a different story then!![:@]

3.79 a gallon here It's just starting to hurt. I'm 200 mile away from my hunting grounds. More 3 day weekends for me.For that to happen I have to do 4 14 hr days.

RE: Does the prices of Gas affect
 

yea 4.20 for deisel is gonna hurt come deer season our lease is 3 hrs away and I usually go every weekend from about sept. 15 through the end of dec. there will definetly be alot of truck pooling going on this year.

Right around 3.80 here, of course it will force me to cut down on my trips, but also helps me save time by planning ahead and taking everything i need so there are no trips home. It seems like it would have to effect everyone somehow...

RE: Does the prices of Gas affect
 

i cut out other running around and activities....still hunt just as much, scratch that, more, than ever.;)

RE: Does the prices of Gas affect
 

Its not the price of gas thats hurting me, it's the 16 miles to the gallon that sucks ;)

RE: Does the prices of Gas affect
 

It doesnt help the fact that most of us drive big trucks and the gas mileage sucks[:@]

My furthest hunting spot is ~20 miles away and the closest is 4. While it doesnt affect my hunting that much, on the day when Im trying to choose whether to go to the close spot of the further spot, it makes the choice alot easier;)

RE: Does the prices of Gas affect
 

Yes it does affect my scouting this year I am not going to my privates hunting areas as much. I am staying more close to home now.
Just seen a gas station today go from $3.69 to $3.85 for unleaded.[:@]

RE: Does the prices of Gas affect
 

It might affect my overall deer hunting in the early season. But, the bottom line is, I live for hunting gobbling turkeys, rutting and late season whitetails. I agree with the above, I will cut out other things, but not hunting.
