Yeah. My ammo is sort of an invisible cost because of stocks of reloading components which even at high volume I don't notice so much. But Diesel at $2.15 a litre is a real ouch. I don't have any hunting less than 4 hours away return and I do it 40 times a year at least and then a few trips to the SI wallaby each year. My truck has done 93,00k in 3 years. For circa 70 deer a year and a truck load of wallaby that all adds up to a hell of a cost.
