Not really at all! I'm still going wherever. Its really not that much more of a difference on a per month basis that I'm going to worry about it.
Based on inflation its still cheaper than it was in 1981.
I don't like it, but what are you going to do.
I heard that per 15000 miles its an extra 700$ does that sound right?

It wont affect my deer hunting at all, since I dont hunt much more than a mile from home. But, our usual 6 day a week January/February coyote hunt will come to a screeching halt with these prices. 8-9 mpg (dang Dodge!) 4WDing through the snow 50 miles a day would get awful spendy at $2.50 a gallon. Cripes, I complained last winter when it was around $1.70. All for a $5 coyote! We usually spot and stalk, or track 'em, but you have to find something to work with first. I know its not that much money in the grand scheme of things, but at some point the cost just takes the fun out of it.
I'm guessing you'll see fewer coyote hunters this winter if prices stay up.

15000 miles divided by 15 mpg (that's what my truck gets)= 1000 gallons of go juice. I guess it depends on what price you're comparing the current price to. If the price has increased a dollar then it would be $1000.00 per year increase which is an $83.00 per month increase in gas spending for one vehicle.
What was the price per gallon this time last year?

It will change my hunting considerably.
I usually get an either sex bow tag, a season choice tag that is good for does only and good for any season, and a muzzleloader either sex tag.
I generally hunt the bow tag hard, the season choice and muzzleloader tags are done at a much more leiserly pace.
This year I'll get a season choice and hunt what ever season is open at the time when I am in the area. Muzzleloading season is a month long and I'll scale my number of hunts for that season down as well.
I'll also try to have all day hunts instead of driving there for morning hunts then coming home and then returning for the evening hunt.
Hate to do it but there is no other choice for me.
Rack, I think the price a year ago was around 1.85 By bow season, the way things are going it will be a dollar more than last year.

Now you guys see why I drive a white saturn hunting that gets 32 MPG and I can still fill up for 20 bucks and get 300 miles a tank
now that I live in southern Iowa I here it is common to see cars runnin around with deer strapped to the hood, roof, trunk,passenger seat or back seat. I will fit right in

My wife drives 180 miles round trip every day to work, so I am used to getting "HOSED" at the fuel pump. One thing we have done is get a credit card with a decent return precentage. Over a years time we rack up about $300 on cash back rewards by using the card. Keep it paid off every month so you don't pay their hight interest rates and it helps a little.

I know what gas is here. About $1.07 a litre, you're gonna pay more in Ontario I'd think. That is almost $4.00 U.S a gallon. It won't affect my hunting much, I hunt close to home but it affects our everyday life. We drive 15 miles into work each day, sometimes having to take 2 vehicles. Times just keep getting tougher and tougher it seems for us here. Beer is running us about $24 a dozen, chew is about $10 per tin. My brother bought a pack of red man this summer...........$14. Prices of stuff here is getting beyond belief, if it keeps this way, we're in for a recession for sure.

Skully...ready for some further shock...you misread his post...that was $24 per dozen...or a twelve pack.
I get shell shock every time I go to Canada fishing. We fly in 20 cases of Blue in bottles. Then, the last trip I ran out of Copenhagen on the float plane ride back to Red Lake. Bought a can for $10 and it was half the size of a can in the U.S.
