How will the rise of Gas prices affect you guys this coming hutning season? The way it looks its not coming down anything soon. Will you be car pooling or taking a smaller car, thats moe gas efficent, or not going at all. I know some guys on here go to PA to hunt, will the cost of guys stop you from driving there everyday?

Gas prices will have ZERO affect on my hunting plans.
Cost me a lot last year hunting birds 4 days a week or so and traded birds for deer then. I can't imagine yet this year but sure is hurting fishing and boating.
No long trips. I have to drive all week to my claims so I only go out on certain days to conserve.

With gas and toll, it costs me $20 a trip to get to my property. I'll just cut spending someplace else.

I mostly hunt 25 miles from my house, but I am hoping it'll have little impact on my hunting. Between coaching my kid's soccer on weekends and work, I tend to only get out every-other Saturday morning. If I need to strap my bow and stand on my back and ride my bike to Chester every Saturday, I WILL!!

I walk to my stand but gas is just another reason for automated check in LoL besides no one being there when you show up with a deer in hot weather.

My wife gave me hell last year for burning up so much gas hunting last year. I can only imagine what this year is going to be like. 4.19 a gallon here in Newtown PA. I gas up in Jersey usually it's much cheaper.

Significant impact for me. Both hunt and atv/dirt bike in Pa.
-Rifle Deer: I will always spend the first week of
December in 4A
-Archery: Thinking about hunting DWGNRA this year
instead of Pa, to save gas
-Birds: Dog died ... thats all up in the air.
-atv/bikes: no more day trips to Schuylkyll County,
Pa; only weekends (we have a campsite)
