Guess what? I hateto say, it'll be there sooner than that, much sooner, if it keepsat it's current pace.People talk like they are non-believers in this "recession thing", like it doesn't exist. Did you hear about the four, I think it is,GM plants that will be closing? How about the trucking companies that have already closed their doors? And yes, you'll start seeing airlines (I got my Air Canada tickets months ago
)going belly up pretty soon as well! As much as I hate to admit it, this isVERY REAL!!

The "media" is claiming within the next year that gas prices will be over $5 a gallon.

You damn right it is Jeff!! People laugh about it which surprises me. 100.00 dollars is a 100.00 dollars. Its just not the fuel prices that are up, its everything else involved with the fuel as well. It all adds up and kicks your ass in the end!! Its a frickin joke with these diesel and gas prices, yet its legal to do![:@]

I think there are two subjects here. The overall effect of the fuel prices on the economy....there's no doubt that it is. But, my responses are directed at the cost of going on a single hunt.....the rising fuel prices shouldn't affect it one bit.

Everyones different on there ways, nothing is wrong or right but I do not see a problem with being a tight ass. I love my bow hunting more then anything, heck I use to be gone half the month of August and the whole month of September bear and elk hunting. Times have changed for me because of the rising diesel price which I've talked with you about. I could still go on that elk hunting trip but it would take away from my other funds that need to be taken care of. If I wasn't in the business I'm in now I might think about it and possibly go on that extra trip every now and then.
These fuel prices will never keep me from hunting, they'll just slow me down and a few other people as well. What comes around goes around, thats the scary part!

Yea Shultzy, I don't get it either. Prices on EVERYTHING are going up, yet peoplestill want to down play it!! I want say I feel especially bad for you because I realize it could put an end to the way you make your living, and if that's not serious chit, I don't know what the hell is!! I hope things will work out for you though Schultzy, you're a good man!!

I guess we could go on and on about this, but one thing is true.....the rising price of fuel sucks.

No offense, but you've got to be tripping on shrumes or something!!
Last year I filled my tank for like $50, now it's like $100. Youthink it's not that much?

If you put it into perspective, the increased cost for gas is really not that much.

Schultzy, obviously I see your point and you have my sympathy, but I was speaking about simply getting to a hunt; nothing else involved or considered. I certainly did not mean or intend to tell you anything about your personal situation.

We were discussing going on a hunt to begin this post. Like your trip to Alberta that you said costs $5000. Are the increase gas prices really that big of an expense when you compare it to the $5000 to go hunting? No, and that is why I said "perspective".

It would cost a hell of a lot more to drive there, hotel stops/stayovers, gas, food ect, than the $600 plane ticket that's included in with that $5000 hunt cost you mentioned.
