I will still be hunting on our farm every chance I can get. But it is only a 10 minute drive. I will still be taking a couple of in-state trips as well. Just had to cut a few costs that were not as important to me over the summer.

I hunt about 100 miles round trip and hunt then entire rifle season. I hunt on my best friends farm so I will now be staying the entire season with them instead of driving back and forth. It will be excellent since I hunt from sun up to sun down every day. I actually might get some extra rest.

I just started a new job that extends the distance to my grandfather's farm. It now costs me about $75 to make the trip there and back. With all of the cash I spent this year traveling back and forth to scout, hang stands and plant my plots I prob could have just paid for a lease. I don't think it will affect the amount of time I spend in the woods, but I don't think I'll get to hunt my favorite spot as much as I would like.

its gonna be tough on me this year, as my spots are abot an hour an a half away, but sometimes you just gotta suck it up for your priorities.

I usually start my hunting year bowhunting in Ct. but because it would cost me $70.00 just on gas a week for 2 days a week of hunting I have cancelled it. I will only go to Ct. with a gun this year. I will lose a month of the best bow hunting in New England. Wit the cost of home heating oil I will put the money I saved by not going to home heating oil. I just filled my oil tank and it was $680.00 for 250 Gal. last year I used 4 tanks I sure hope we have a warm winter.

Yeah, I agree the only thing it'll affect is the wallet not the hunting.;)
