Ohhh, sore topic. I live in the city (more or less) and can only hunt about once a week. Then Ihave to drive 220 miles round trip just to my friends' house whereI sleep. Then on hunting dayit's 40 miles round trip to the hunting spot. I figure about $280 per month.

It is a 650 mile round trip to our ranch, diesel is way up there and last time I went I pulled my camper....It won't be cheap but I would do it if it cost twice as much as it does. I have been staying longer each time I go up theresince the fuel has been so crazy and I plan on doing this during the season too. A round trip cost me about $200 and I will do it as often as I possibly can. A minimum of twice a month!!!!

when we go to our farm...its a good 45 min drive and it takes about 20 bucks to get there and back.

So if we go down almost every weekend for 5 months.....it can get pretty pricey[&:]

$000.00 - I walk to my stands (Priceless!)
I too am blessed with this situation. But it does cost about 25 bucks a month to fill up the quads, can't really complain.

1200.00 for a Bow and acces.
500.00 for a rifle
200.00 for a scope
8000.00 for an ATV
250.00 for a ladder stand
200.00 for a feeder
200.00 for a game cam
300.00 for camo
1500.00 for the lease fee
Cost to drive to the lease....... and the time spent there hunting....
PRICELESS..........

Exactly. I'm leaving on an elk hunting trip this weekend and I'm guessing I will be out a few hundred bucks for fuel. Even if it was $400 I would still go, but it sure does hurt the checking account. I'll see what the total is when I get home and review my account, but until then I have other things to focus on....like big screaming bulls!
