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

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!![:@]

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...

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

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.

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.
