Kansas City Area Trad Hunt II. Adventure continues

[rodneybrintle]

lets have one of each. that way we can meet everyone and no one gets left out. i am going to buy licease for both states anyway.

[twosheds]

Alright, here's what I've come up with. Saturday, January 31st at Valley Falls WMA. From what I've seen so far, most guys are either or. There is alot of ground up there for us to cover and a nice gravel parking lot for us to gather and have breakfast. rodneybrintle and I will go up there this week sometime and do a little recon.

For everyone who can't pay the non-resident fees.Dave Bulla brought up a good point. I didn't see anything that said you can't come along and stump shoot and just enjoy  good company.

I'm going to see if Mike from the Nocking Point wants to join in since this is up there in his neck of the woods.

OK, I have put out a date, What time would you guys like to meet? I know there is a Kasey's right by the WMA we could meet at, or if anyone else has any sugestions. Tripper

twosheds..you may want to check with an agent about stump shooting during a season. If there is a season, may be hard to convince an agent your just shooting at stumps. The rules get mighty sticky sometimes..hate to see anyone get a ticket.

[BMN]

I should be able to make it in either state.

I am a definite maybe.

Need to replace a tip inlay and I am good to go.

As long as She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed agrees (which she generally does just to get me out of her hair).

Cannot wait to meet you guys.

Tripper, I wasn't planning on taking my bow if I don't buy a license.  Standing in the brush with a bow and blunts with a bunch of other guys hunting rabbits while beagles are bawling and claiming I'm NOT hunting would be tough to pull off  

[Paul/KS]

Hey va,
I'm sure we'll be able to come up with a "Loaner Bow" if ya don't get your tip fixed...  :D

[ksbowman]

VA, I've got several recurves and longbows also if you need one.  Ben

[twosheds]

Alright guys, I called the wildlife dept. and for sure it would be the $72.50 for an out of state license.

I also asked about guys that wanted to just come along and stump shoot, and the CO I spoke with said he would probably treat them as if they were hunting. It would be hard to prove. I'm getting a fire, I'll be back.

[twosheds]

Ok, never mind. I got canceled.

As it stands now. I'm still planning on the 31st of January, if that's alright with everyone. What time did everyone meet last time? Tripper

If I've left anyone out I appologize. pm me or just add to the list. Tripper

[va]

You guys are too genberous.  I love it!

The tip shouldn't be too hard to glue on - one more lesson in self-bows... when the limbs are not synchronized the tips suffer.

I may even have a new creation to shoot in during the hunt.  Ya never know.

[va]

Oh yeah - I fergot to ask...

Is this area actually called Perry WA? or is there a Valley falls WA that i cannot find.  Wouldn't be the first time.

[ksbowman]

Put my name in I'll be there.  Thanks,  Ben

[twosheds]

Hey twosheds-
I'd like to listed on the "definate" list for either state.  We met at 0700 hours to whip up the fixins and then started from there.  Sent you a PM...

[Dave Bulla]

Chris, just got off the phone with Tripper.  He's still working on the details but it sounds like there is a Casey's general store where we can all meet and he's gonna try to get an address so everyone can mapquest it.  Not quite set on a time but he'll probably post that soon.

The rest of you guys, would anyone be opposed to donating a small dollar amount for groceries?  It's hard to arrange for food by having people just "bring something".  Might be easier if one or two people buy and cook all the food then everyone who shows up can just put a few dollars in the kitty to offset the food expenses.

I plan to take my stove and disc again and I'll cook whatever we get but if you noticed on the list, I'm still down as a maybe.  My work is goofy with overtime and I normally don't know if I'm working on a weekend or not until the last minute.  Christmas was an exception as we're off the week between the holidays so I was able to definitely comit to it.  

If I find out at the last minute I can't go, maybe someone who doesn't live too far away could swing by and pick my stove and disc up and you guys could still use it?

Anyway, just some ideas.  Tripper is the ramrod on this one so if he wants to do it different, that's his call.

See if this helps.

Pitching in for the cost of food and picnic items only seems fair to me.

[bretto]

I have a large two burner camp stove I'll bring, along with whatever food just tell Me how much of what to bring.

Dave, where did You get the large disk You pictured at the last get together?
