Kansas City area trad hunt?

[kctreeman]

Dave, Im all for hunting the area the way we did the last time. Still hunting along the river moved alot of deer if I I have a beagle but it is a house pet, more out of shape than that basset that we had the last time.  I may consider bringing it but the family would hate to lose it.

[BMOELLER]

I know of an area that looked good on the north side in the bottom, but if its holding water it probably won't appeal to anybody.  If its iced over it would probably make too much noise.

Haven't hunted up in there in 2-3 yrs.  Dave you remember where we hunted that one time down the road near the archery range and saw those coyotes?  There was some thick cover in there and pushing that again might create some opportunity.

Dang Brian,

You just brought up a point I hadn't even considered....  If the water is frozen enough, the deer won't have to follow the levees like I'd planned for a couple of the stand sites but could cross the ice.  So much for a pinch point!

Hopefully, it'll be thin enough they won't risk it.

Hey guys, only 12 days to go!!!!

Do we have any more definites?

[Gatekeeper]

Hi Dave

You need to update your list to show that I will be there.  

[Dave Bulla]

Tom, you are now added to the super elite group of "sure shows"!

Ya threw me with the new avatar.  Cool hat.

Oh yea, just a teaser.....

There is a CHANCE (at this point, just a chance) that we may have the benefit of not just one beagle but possibly a whole pack.  How cool would that be????!!!

Should learn more in the next couple of days.

11 more days!

Hey Dave!
Just getting back with you here instead of the phone to let you and anyone else attending, the "pack" status.  I spoke with Mike and he's in for the 27th.  He'll have 3 fully trained beagles and as I told you over the phone, this is his passion so these dogs should be outstanding!  Give me a call this week sometime at either number.  Looking forward to meeting new friends.

WAY TO GO CHRIS!!!!!

I was worried I was jumping the gun by mentioning your plan but couldn't help myself.  Just wanted to get the guys hyped up a little bit early.

Please do me a favor now.  Each of you who will be coming, please post your hunt preference.  I know several want to hunt deer and I could probably go back through my pm's and emails to sort out the list but if each of you post here, it will help me plan and will also help keep this up top.

I love to watch and listen to beagles run.  That's where I'll be.

[JESSE69]

Sounds like a yaahoo good time,unfortunately I can't make it.Lots of luck and have a good time,Jesse69  

[Gatekeeper]

Beagles, bunnies and deer drives are my preferences.

[Gatekeeper]

Hey…what about Moeller? If we plan to have an animal in any of our pictures we should make sure Brain is there! Oh wait… Tripper and Bill are going to be there. We will have plenty of animals in our pictures. Animals seem to fall over dead at the sight of these two. I still hope you can make it Brian!  

[BMN]

My money is still on Brian. I'm not use to enjoying this kind of success. The reason it's so cold around here is because hell has froze over.

That should get the deer moving.

I should add Chris to the group of deadeyes also. Now I see why there are bag limits. With these four in the park at the same time the place would be void of animals by the time we leave if there weren’t limits.

[BMOELLER]

Don't sell yourself short Tom. Your good shot yourself.  My money is on Bill and Tripper they obviously have icewater running through their vanes.  

As of right now, I'm in.  Should be really fun with the beagles.  Never bowhunted behind any, but sure have shotgunned behind'em.

Providing the weather aint too bad in the morning, Woodsey Dave and I are going up to some public land to hunt and retrieve some of his stands.
