Are you staying home?

[dukxdog]

Anyone here deciding to stay home instead of hunting SD roosters this fall due to fuel prices?

Not me!

Just wondering. Seen it happen previously.

NOT staying home, life is short and getting shorter.

 

[UplandHntr]

Not likely

 

[Chestle]

Most likely going; it’s an old tradition.

Never know though. A combo of things might cause a cancellation.

I hoped to make my first trip last fall but had surgery instead. My dog and I aren’t getting any younger. I can’t afford not to go.

No way will I stay home. With gas & groceries so high, gotta pinch pennies somewhere. Those free roosters will really help ease the pain at the pump.

I'm going hunting no matter what. I just got a new pup and this will be his first fall.

Just drove 1800 miles one way to watch my son play collegiate tennis in Florida; my gas bill will be about $150-200 more due to high gas prices for the round trip…paid about $4.50 on the way down here…just arrived. If anybody cancels hunting trips due to gas being a buck or two more per gallon, they were already cutting it too close. Don’t eat out for a month before or after the trip, or cut out superfluous expenses like $3 coffee, pull tabs/gas station gambling, etc, etc. lots of room for most of us to save a few hundred bucks over a month or two…

Will be there as usual again this year. Higher gas won’t keep us away and also adding a September trip to MT

you got that right

 

[BritChaser]

i've already booked SD and NE. hoping gas isn't $10/gal by then

 

[gimruis]

I don't think gasoline is going to be high when we get to the fall. Just my prediction. I could certainly be wrong though.

Luckily all of my bird hunting is within an hour of my house. If I had to drive more than a couple hours to hunt, I would not be going nearly as much.

i agree, i think it should settle around $4.50 gallon.

Wasn't this same thing just cover with 8 pages of replies?? Pretty much the same replies as last week. I guess new threads, even repeats, are good traffic to have in the off-season!

 

[Wolfchief]

Just got fired up from Pheasant Fest--got an energy-crazed yellow Lab that lives to hunt birds---yeah buddy, I'm going next fall---more than once.

Am going with a heavy heart ! Lost my 10 yr old BLF to cancer 2 weeks ago and want to take some of her ashes to our place in Eureka. She loved to hunt pheasants !! Now the search is on for a replacement !!

God bless your family with wonderful memories

Stay home !! No way ..no how…not even a passing thought

Lets just use this as an example..
1000 mile round trip..(just my average)
20mpg
Gas @$3.00 gal =$150
Gas @ 4.50 gal. =$225
$75 dollars difference!! Big deal

 

[benelli-banger]

On a 3800 mile trip now…sienna van, 23 mpg avg? About an extra $150 or so…more of a rounding error…
