I'm right around 12,000 - 13,000 so far this year. That is kind of a depressing thing to calculate.

I used to put around 70,000/year on trucks and an excursion combined. Retirement and living on a ranch has cut that significantly.

About 3,000 total for about 10 trips out. Is that tax deductible? I'm guessing not.

530 miles each way. 1060 round trip. Corpus to Dickens. Purchased land just before retirement so I knew stays would be extended. 3 trips during deer season Archery and gun. We stay about a month each trip so about 3180 miles for the season. I'm sure you ask why so far??? This area offered the lowest cost to purchase our own place, We don't regret it and are now in our 5th year.

I drive around 5000-6000 miles during deer season for hunting purposes. That's going to and from the lease and any other non lease hunting trips.

About 130 to grandparents and from there anywhere from 1.5-10 depends on what property we are hunting. Now I am living with my grandparents though and going to school over there so I practically live on my deer lease now.

200 miles per week is pretty standard for me, which is 2 trips per week.

105 miles to lease. About 22 trips a year. 4,500 miles. If I add side hunts to S. Tex and W. Tex then another 1,500 miles. I work from home so it isn't too bad.

200 mile to lease. It is a year round lease with dove deer and turkey. This year has been cheaper because of the weather

I estimate that I will put 40,000 miles on my pickups traveling to and from hunts and hunting this year. Cheaper gas will help with fuel costs but the low oil prices are not good for the Texas economy.
Adios,
Gary

Around 16,000 for deer season. About 1,500 miles per trip to Kansas hunts, about 700 for texas hunts. This includes driving from camp to property.
