Joeyman what kind of weapon do you use . It sounds like I would fit right in with you . I have been through a case of 20 ga. shells so far. I think it's time to get out my 28 ga. . When the trigger pulls on the browning the fur flies .

The longest I drove (round trip) in 2009 on a hunting trip, during which I killed a rabbit, was almost 13000 miles. Of course, I caught a lot of walleye, pike, crappie, white bass,grayling, and salmon. I also killed a moose, several grouse, and a lot of ptarmigan.

I killed the game in Alaska, including the rabbit, and caught most of the fish in Canada.

I will not drive that much this year even though a Canadian fishing trip is being planned.

I will, however, drive as much as two hours one way for good rabbit hunting. I hunt exclusively on public CMAs and have never been skunked. I defined skunked as not having the opportunity to kill a rabbit. I have, on occassion, not killed a rabbit when the population was what I considered way too low.

Dont log any miles to run. Go out the front door call the dogs jump the fence and can hunt all day without starting my vehicle. My family owns a couple thousand acres here and I live in the middle of nowhere. When I walk out the front door I can see nearly everything I hunt. Heck I can see the tree with binoculars that I shot my deer out of this year. If I do load up and make a trip its 12 miles to my uncles crop bottoms thats about as far as I ever go to rabbit hunt. I'm pretty easy on the population rarely take a gun most of the ones that are killed the dogs catch I've only shot 4 or 5 times this year.

Joey, I come from down around Flat River Mo. now known as Park Hills. This year in the state of Washington ,I have ran my dogs very little since just before Christmas because of the freeze up and a east wind that cuts you into. But I drive 9o miles one way to run Snowshoe and 45 to run cottontail. Have never kept track of what I spend or how many miles I put on my truck. Just make sure to keep the oil changed .

WAY TO MANY : Got up this morning and got the dog in the box drove over and got my hunting buddy. We got about half hour from home and half hour from our hunting spot when the Chevy 5-litter started knocking 225,310 miles. Had to turn around and come home luckily we made it.

Only good thing is I own a 5-bay repair shop here in town, my hunting buddy work there to so you can bet we will have an engine in it before next weekend.

Wonder what the dogs thought they got loaded into the truck box and road for an hour only to end up right back where they started in the kennel.
