Lack of affordable housing here and a lot of the rentals went to vacation rentals.

If you can find a place it’s going to cost you.

Yup a 3 br house rents for a minimum of $2k here and thats a unicorn.

I'm headed to SD in two weeks. After doing a little research and math I estimate this trip will cost between $80-$120 more in gas then last year. That's not changing my plans one bit.


I don't know what the actual number would be to effect my out of state or long distance hunts. But agree with @TOGIE there would be some lifestyle changes long before my hunts get cut.


Daycare has had more impact on my hunting then gas prices ever dreamed of having. When I had two in it man that was easily a guided hunt a year or more. So fortunate my mom is retired and watching the new one for us. Saves me $1200 a month that's a lot of gas.

It’s not just the fuel you all are spending. The Hostess and Little Debi are up from the fuel too. All products are raising prices from fuel surcharges.

I think you need to 2x your cost from last year for a more realistic expectation.

I'm so glad I don't have to pay for daycare. Would probably cost me 24k to have someone else raise my kids.
