Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

[Nick87]

I bet a large percentage of diesel truck owners never haul anything heavier than a black lab. mtmuley

I know of a few that have never had a hitch slid into the reciever.

Yea, when you ask how much guy's spend on beer and/or chew and/or Zin a month....."Well I need to do those." Uh huh......

But if I do all those things while driving mountain roads while hunting And I need to figure in the cost of beef and subtract the 200lbs of meat I got, it’s all justified.

What does this have to do with the price of fuel? mtmuley

I calculated my price of antelope meat from the other weekend. Buck + doe = ~60 lbs of meat. Out the door around $5.50 - $6 a pound. Not bad, considering the stress relief, exercise, etc. that was also part of that trip.

Folks can cut back on a lot of shit to afford some more fuel.

Yea, but you have no control over that. Best concentrate on the things you can control.

The only thing that's changed for me is lodging due to fuel prices. I'm not cancelling any plans, just changing how I operate. I initially was going to haul my camper around, now I'm just going to tent camp or sleep in the truck. Looking into back seat air mattress or foam if I don't tent camp.

Just a few months ago I ended up buying a 3/4 ton Ram diesel over a F250 7.3. Dammit. Although I'm not sure if fuel efficiency would be any different.

Did that wise man chew Zins, drink beer, and golf?
