Will inflation affect your hunts?

[Nick87]

Probably at least 12k miles a year on hunting whatever that comes out to. Enough to notice that's for sure.

 

[Southern Elk]

Might make me hunt a little closer to home but I doubt it.

 

[RobertD]

there are much bigger changes in my life this year that are already proving to be of much greater effect than inflation.

Felt this one for sure, right there with you man

 

[dan.kirkpatrick]

it will effect my out of state hunts as diesel fuel is a big factor on a 3000 mile round trip,,it will alter my applications to apply for the harder to draw stuff further away like co and n m,if i draw im gonna go, but it will alter my mediocre unit apps and 2nd choices.

Gas definitely put a kink In the budget, I drive everywhere. Florida in April and Vt. Canada boarder are in May then over to Maine for Turkey. Va. Md. and PA. hunts. 6-7 weeks chasing turkeys Gass Willard up. But if I let this administration Dictate my hunting through Gas I'd get cranky quick.

 

[Nick87]

I'd imagine if I were on a fixed income it would be a much larger hurdle.

Basically what it means to me is my meat got more expensive. But the same is true of the meat I buy at the grocery store.

 

[HVAChunter]

As a owner of a business it’s affecting me enough now to make me unsure of my hunting budget this year.

 

[mtmiller]

Inflation did not effect where I applied for tags and I will hunt any critter I am lucky enough to draw.

 

[Stocker]

Not really, but it could.


I’ll just have to cut off a few more CC’s of Tundra’s. Thanks for the gas money @JLS!

Probably less steak and more beans in camp this year, but if the tag gods smile on me and/or mine we’re going hunting.

As soon as I got old enough that my hunting was no longer sponsored by my parents, I figured out that hunting is damn expensive. So, in order to deal with that expense, I made a firm commitment to just not think about it.

 

[Elkoholic]

I'll pay about any price for gas if I can get to the mountains, the reward far out weighs the economic impact for me. There's sheep and elk that needs packed out, I'll be there!

 

[Redman]

Still is cheaper than paying for a psych Dr. or a therapist. Hunting is my mental reset and it takes several sessions to get me stable

^^^ Has it figured out.

The cost of hunting have been going up every year since I started hunting 35 years ago. My costs are primarily Lease fees, Hotel and gas to get 9 hrs from home to my lease. Im gonna pay the piper. Fortunately due to technology I can work while I am off on hunting trips. Which I dont mind at all. I enjoy my work but get tired of being in town so I like to get out of town. I have all my gear purchased and upgraded so that is behind me for the foreseeable future. I will discipline myself to use what I got so my new equipment budget will get folded into my hunting trip budget. I wont miss a beat.

 

[mdhunter]

I am not happy about it but I plan to hunt every tag I can draw.

Subaru to the rescue!
