Well, most of my local hunting spots haven't moved, so instead of paying $10 in gas to get there, we're spending $20. My kid and I camp out for 3 days here and 3 days there so the cost of hunting hasn't really gone up; just the cost of getting there. My shooting range is 3 miles from here so that isn't worth mentioning. The most expensive change is the $7000 loss of reloading equipment and supplies that the effing burglars took last season while I was in the woods. I'd eat the rise in gas prices if the police could get my stuff back (not likely).
