If I had to wake up at 3 to kill a Turkey I wouldn’t hunt, they’ll be there when I get there…

Everywhere I’ve been this year “3 states” I have been on birds and a lot of them. I’m sure some areas are down but overall I think we are still in good shape.

Good luck, I know how that goes. Do you think it was an ethanol related gas issue ? My 99 Johnson 70 still has the original fuel filter in it, and I have not ever had a fuel problem with it. The only trouble of any kind I had was in 00, when it got a new power pack under warranty. I have paid the extra 50 cents per gallon for ethanol free gas ever since it was available.
That said, I probably won’t have time to get it out this year until regular bass season opens up in mid-June. I did pull it up from the back of the barn, to the front, the other day though, and put the new registration stickers on it and the trailer.
It’s never had ethanol in it so I doubt it. If anything it’s a design issue with the emissions crap.
It’s something I’ll start changing with every oil change, it’s only a 5 minute job and a 7$ part.
This being the first issue with that many hours I’m not going to complain, it gets ran hard and used a lot so eventually something has to go.

Some years, my venison has come in at under $ 1.00 per pound, after subtracting all input expenses. I got pretty close to that last season. This year is going to be tough. The fertilizer that I used today cost more than double what I paid last year. Hopefully, the 2 acres of RR corn that I put in today will be enough to hold some deer around till New Year’s Day. Diesel is really crazy this year. I am thankful that I still have an old gas tractor.
I know that when we raised beef, pork, and chicken, it cost more than if you bought it at the store, and I didn’t like any of that as much as I do the dollar a pound venison.
I don’t include travel expenses in my venison cost calculations, because I only get it at home, at my parents, or at my in-laws places. We have to visit them regularly anyhow. I can’t help it that they have decent hunting.
I’ve never figured out my $ per pound for my angus or venison, Honestly I don’t care. I enjoy killing deer and I enjoy knowing where my beef comes from. Those values cannot be calculated.

That's not exactly what I meant. I meant with gas prices how they are driving and dropping that money was getting beyond frustrating for a little bird. I enjoy deer hunting more, so I'm a bit more willing to spend more for gas. During the Fall I really only have hunting going on, so it's easier to justify the added cost. During the Spring, I like to get out hiking more and fishing, so it came down to giving things up I didn't want to for the month of May. I don't drink anymore, so my new vice is being outdoors as much as possible. I don't plan to go north and spend touristy prices for gas to hunt a turkey.
I completely understand but what you meant. I’ll have over 400$ invested in gas alone between my 3 turkey hunting trips this year. I sleep in a tent, drink water from jugs and I bring most of my own food so I can travel out of state about as inexpensive as possible but 3 trips with 400$ on gas alone spent for maybe 12lbs poissbly 16 “if I can kill another bird this week in maine” of meat will never make financial sense. The enjoyment I’ve gotten out of said trips are impossible to put a price on however.

Deer meat costs more than cocaine
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Way more!

Been a little nuts. For a deer that I'd get a decent amount of meat is one thing, a bird I'll only get maybe two meals out of is crazy.
I understand everyone’s disposable income is different but the second you start putting $$’s to pounds of meat, hunting will never make financial sense!

I just quit buying beer and takeout so I could do season as normal. Probably 400$ in fuel plus liscence fees and ammo for two turkeys... would do it all over again in a second.
My 1200$ gas saver car I bought the week after the idiot was elected saved me at least 400$ this Turkey season alone. 2 trips to maine at 700 miles a trip + driving around when I get there plus a 400miles round trip to mass.
Those are good habits to give up and the saving are being used for much better hobbies!
Now I just wish I could find a gas saving boat! Pulling my daughter and her friends this afternoon will cost me 100$ at least!

I'm done chasing these birds for the season. Me 0 / Birds 7. Gas $110. I'm going north next week, and I think I'll only be taking the fishing gear.
These gas prices are making everything awful. I layed my on/off road dirtbike in the trunk/ back seat for my trip to main. Total pain in the ass but the car got 38mog and the truck gets 15. The bike probably got 60mog putting around on the logging roads.

Hottest day of the year so far and I’m driving an hour and a half both ways for a 7$ gasket so we can get out on the boat today. My 150 yamaha is a 2019 with 822hrs and this is the first issue it’s ever had so I really can’t complain and I know it’s all part of owning a boat but it still frustrating.

...And Kamala is warming up in the bullpen...
What’s she going to do when she gets there? She’s sucked her way to every position she’s had. When she’s on the top of the food chain who’s she going to kneel for?

I feel like i am the only guy that never uses binos. I carry them in my pack and just never use them. i also hunt a real thick area too.
I never did either, now I wear my bino harness anytime I’m going to the woods. A good set of binos has changed the way I hunt, I also very rarely hunt fields.
Binos during Turkey season make it very easy to pick out a gobbler on a limb in early dawn light.

I probably have 20 cams out in the Adirondacks all are on signpost rubs. There’s some that I probably haven’t checked in 4-5 years.
I almost always have a camera in my Fanny pack early in season and if I find some good signpost I’ll throw a cam on it. If I make it back to it that year or the next they’re usually still running with good batteries.
Last year this buck was 7 minutes in front of me while I was tracking him and he walked in front of the cam that had been out for 2 years.

i'm practically a beer snob now with fancy beers but never turn down a busch or busch light, especially the orange hunting season cans and definitely one of those if i find a case.
My brother and most of my friends are always having me try this or that craft beer, have yet to find one I enjoy more than Busch. I do like paradox’s beaver bite IPA and tend to get some when I’m up that way fishing.

the irony... they have a JD can now that has a portion of profits go back to the farming community.
If they make their way East I’ll have to drink even more because it will be for a good cause!

This administration has not completed a single task properly since day 1 . That is just a fact that can not be argued.
Yet there’s idiots including a few on here that still think he was the better pick!

If it were mine I would put a 2000$ price tag on it and take the first 1500 , maybe less if it was a family with kids.
A 2,000 dollar boat that runs is a quick sale this time of year.
I’m sure you could make more money but to me a wasting a day Isn’t worth 500$

So many similarities.
The subway shooter was a lifelong petty criminal and impotent, frustrated nut job who rallied against everyone - whites, blacks, men, women - and just wanted to shoot people. He didn't discriminate by colour when he opened fire on the subway car and hit blacks, whites, and hispanic people, which resulted in wounding 10 people.
The kid, whose head was filled with the kind of racist nonsense promoted in the circle jerk of stupid that impotent old white guys love to cloak themselves in, deliberately targeted black people. He wrote the N-word on his gun and it seems he passed by white shoppers and executed 10 black people.
Ten people randomly wounded by a crazy guy who hated everyone; ten black people deliberately killed by a kid whose head was filled with racist bile.
Totally similar.
The only similarity that matters is both had shown before their attacks that they were evil and shouldn’t be on the streets. Yet both were and were allowed to go through with their plans and harm innocent people.
The government that you and your ilk put so much trust in allowed both of these to happen.

Proposed crossbow legislation for 2022
in CrossBow Hunting
Posted
F*ck it, the states letting violent felons walk out of jail and prisons. We have way bigger problems to worry about than joe blow shooting an extra deer with a crossbow during “archery” season.
Most people these days aren’t will to put in the effort to kill 1 deer let alone more than they’re allowed. Unless a large black market for whitetail meat pops up the population won’t be threatened by over hunting.
