Will market volatility and or heath concerns with the virus influence your western hunting plans

[ErictheRed]

With all the market volatility and travel concerns with the virus, I'm wondering if some folks will just pass on going west this year.

 

[JLS]

No

 

[Nick87]

No

 

[Kiwi]

No.

Unless it’s gets a lot worse. I have paid for flights and accommodation and started applying for tags so planning on going for sure.

 

[Wyoelk]

Nope

 

[Zootownelk]

It's exactly these types of things that make me want to disappear into wilderness more!

I’m thinking opposite I’m heading East hopefully to Colorado for an elk hunt maybe deer if I’m lucky. So no not now I’m not worried but my wife’s family and I are going to Cancun at the end of April. I hope covid 19 gets them worried and I save 7 grand if so I’m heading to Canada for a deer hunt in Alberta.

Just changed the cabin filter in my truck. Ready to roll

 

[jdf]

Negative.

 

[dcopas78]

no, unless it would get to the quarantine stage and interstate travel was banned. I don't think that will happen though.

They advise staying away from crowds, time to go the the treeline. Although I will just be driving a few hours, not flying...

Best thing I could do is leave my place in NYC and head west to hunt. Still a toss up if I’ll make it out this year, but that decision has nothing to do with coronavirus and the markets. If it really hits the fan I’ll be holed up in my camp in upstate NY.

No

I’m going to live my life as I normally would. This is nothing more than a media driven panic IMO. There have been at least 32 million confirmed flu illnesses from late 2019-2020 this year, 310,000 hospitalization, and 18,000 deaths and that’s just in the United States. They don’t crash the market or worry about travel every year due to that. Even if a vaccine were to come out for covid -19 only a percentage of people would bother to get it. Just go live life. Sorry for the rant.

 

[FranklinME]

Not one bit.

 

[CRAZYCARL]

Nope

 

[MThuntr]

I really hope some rethink their plans so I can have some peace and quiet in the hills

 

[Gellar]

Go west young man! Haven’t you been told it’s full of whiskey women and gold!

 

[jabber]

The biggest decider of if I will go hunting this year is if I get a tag or not...

I cancelled all my hunting trips in Wuhan this year.
