I have canceled 2 out-of-state hunting trips because of the high gas prices; 2.94/gal and they expect it to go well above 3.25/gal; very sad!  :confused:

Just calculated with $3.30 per gallon and came out with:
I have to pay excactly TWICE as much for gas - over here! You better get used to it! "Mad Max times" are definately lying ahead ...

Brian, are you running a tank or what?!  :eek:

Not a chance,We always include gas in the trip.
You need to split it up or save youre fast food money or what ever you splurge on.
3.25 a gal split in half is 1.62 a gal,Or split three ways is 1.08,Or four is 81 cents.You see were I am going with this.
We will be heading to Montana for antelope in September so who knows what the price will be.Good luck if you do go.

Must be the New Yorker in me....If an exta $50.00 or $100.00 stops someone from going on a trip maybe they should budget better or get another job. It makes me wonder what folk's are really saying when they get all bent out of shape because gas goes up, and they cancel trips . Big deal, get over it. hehehehe

The prices are what they are and they sure as hell ain't going to get any better. Oh, there might be some occasional downward trends but that will not be normal. I don't like it, and you don't like it but they are here to stay. You just have to work around them.
Here local, prices are up 3 cents from this time last year and that seems to be about the national average. What we forget is that gas was this high last year but then dropped for quite some time. Sticker shock all over again.

2.99 a gallon this morning.  Won't make a difference in my hunting plans but it sure stinks, especially when I see the profit statements from the oil companies come out!!  I still can't figure out why gas prices jump 20 to 30 cents in one day and they didn't even get a gas shipment in that day??    :readit:

Like everyone else I don't LIKE paying more for gas but I am more aggravated with the increase in out of state tag prices in many areas and guiding fees. I mean, get real, $780 for a tag to walk around with your bow and have a 1 in 10 chance of killing something? And a guided mulie hunt that used to cost $2200 is now $3500? or a guided bear hunt that used to cost $800 is now $2200? AND in most cases to have to get in a drawing (a lottery if you will) to see if you can pay those prices?

If gas got to $8.97 a gallon here they'd use a few gallons to burn down the whitehouse.

I did not cancel any hunts because of gas prices, however I did choose to stay and hunt in my own state this year to save money so next year I could go moose hunting. However the cost of gas next year could dictate where I go and how many people I car pool with!

I've cancelled all my out of town trips for the rest of my life. I've decided to sit here and shrivel up into a do nothing couch potato....right!

Cost of doing business my friend!!! Hell, I remember when gas was a quarter a gallon... soda pop was a dime, and you didn't need to buy drinking water.  ;)

I figure an out west trip for me is about 3500 miles total, including quite a bit of driving around while I am there.  Figures out to maybe 200 gallons of gas. I don't like the extra $100 bucks or so it will cost me, but that is still a fairly small part of the total cost of the trip.  Sure, it all adds up, but it isn't going to stop me from doing what I work so hard all year for.

This thread is veering quickly into politics.   Consumers are getting screwed.  For three years in a row Exxon (04-06) posted record profits.  In fact, in 2005 and 2006, they were the highest profits EVER reported by a US company.  $36.1 billion in 2005 and $39.5 billion in 2006.

To keep my post trad bow related, I'll still hunt as much as I can this year, but it'll be closer to home and I won't do 85 in my Toyota to get there.  ggg
