LOL, dont I know it from already starting a gas thread! Anyhoo, to answer your question, I towed my boat 60 miles today and will be towing it to several lakes this weekend. Gulp. May just go out twice. Boat has a thirty gallon tank as well. This could get expensive...

I am going to a state park this weekend to scout for some deer. In TN, deer season starts Sept. 24. I will be bringing in some venison soon.

I'm not going anywhere this weekend. I'm saving my money for the 5000 mile round trip vacation in a few weeks. Not taking the truck though. The rental car will nearly pay for itself with the gas savings over driving the truck.

Chit, I forgot about Dove season. Need to pick up some cases of 12ga!

I'll be driving about 200 miles to MD this weekend and in three weeks I'll be driving to Kentucky and then onto SW Illinois. Now THERE'S a gas bill.

I wish they would hurry up and announce when Quail season is going to be this year! I hope we get to have a Quail Season...

I'm leaving tomorrow for a week around Shenandoah Valley driving from Detroit. I figure we'll be putting on 1500-2000 miles during this trip. We're not taking the F-150, though. Minivan gets 2x the fuel economy as the truck.

I may have to anyway. When they removed the coyote bounty and made it illegal to hunt or kill them for several years. Then for some unknown reason our Quail population almost died out.?. Go figure.. huh! If we find a covey of 10 then thats now a big covey. A good sportsmen will take one or two out of it then go try and find some more some where else. Good news is they have now made coyote season open again, and they are takeing steps to try and replenish the Quail population. I haven't heard a single one all summer yet this year.

We hang em on the fence like a trophy.

I dont know what you can get for the ears now-a-days, but when I was a little jamzwayne the going price for a pair of ears was a whopping $2.

LOL
What in the world do they do with the ears?

Man... there likely wouldn't have been a dog in the neighborhood that had ears when I was a kid then!

We use to get $20 bounty for taking them to a fur trader or conservation dept. Coarse I use to coon hunt all the time too and it was nothing to get $30 out of a coon hide then either. Now your lucky to get $5. Ohh the good old days where you made money by having fun!

Nothing. It's just proof that you are helping maintain a nuisance in the area.

I drove from TX to Montgomery, AL yesterday, tomorrow I'll be heading down to Mobile to work, then back up to Montgomery, unless I can find a place to stay in Mobile, then back to Mobile on Monday. I sure hope I can find a hotel or apartment down there, this 150 + miles each way is gonna eat my lunch. At least diesel is cheaper than gas in AL.
