Turkey Hunting/Gas Prices

[turkeydancer]

 

I justify it to the wife by telling her that I love her so much I just have to go out and get her the most expensive meat on earth ...

[PA BEN]

O Yeah. It's my vacation from work and to visit my Mom and Dad. It was nice when all I had to do was start out the back door into the woods. Now I have to drive 438 miles one way.

Well..... If I get in the mood.... it's about 190 yd walk....  or just sit in the front yard and wait for em to come to me...lol. Heck I ain't hunted my own place in years.....  when ever I do go it's about a 5 mile drive to other spots I like to hunt

[PA BEN]

Out my old back door was 180 acres of my Dads farm w/State up further. Didn't kill the yard birds.

[Wayne1]

yup...    well my yard is a couple nice size fields...  Makes me warm and fuzzy inside knowing I passed em up, so that those road hunters can bag a nice trophy, while I'm hunting miles away 

[PA BEN]

Road hunters Don't get me started.

I will be out for the opener. I am splitting the cost of gas with my buddy. probably wont get back out til may

[demontang]

It's keeping me from going to far but I scored land to hunt with in 20miles

[dawei]

It's 220 miles from my home to the place in the Klickitat where I hunt. I will be towing a 6000lb 28ft travel trailer. Figuring gas at $4.00 a gallon, it will cost about $215.00, I can swing that. I will spend a week hunting with a close and dear friend; that in itself is well worth  the cost. I will be 61 next month, and every year there is one less turkey season for me. If gas hits $5.00 a gallon I will still go spring turkey hunting! (But that is just me.)

Stickslingers truck runs off of methane! At least it does when I ride in it
At the end of our trip we figure our birds cost about $15/pound

I live in Central Washington and I am defiantly going to stay here.  If I can get a couple of buddies to car pool farther east then so be it but for the most part drive 15 min from my house and kill me some birds.
