Great video. Never been, but now I want to go. Lol.

Free fishing, but fish will become limited in the parks. Makes sense to me, NOT!!!

This is what I read on dept of conservation website. Not the full article but last paragraph of this section talks about stocking.

My understanding from what I read today, is you can still fish but they won’t be stocking either on or after Friday..

Congratulations!! We have 4 different teal bands. One was 10 years old. Pretty impressive to make that many flights.

School cancelled for today, so decided last night to head to the blind this morning. 9 degrees when I got to there this morning. Had 5 Mallards come in at 6:35 and killed 2. 7 more at 6:55 and killed 2! Limits are few and far between where we hunt, so feel very fortunate to have a morning like today!

Reduced to $75!!!

Another teal season has come and gone! Thought today might be good due to the front coming through later today, but all for not. So hot almost the whole season for the second year in a row. The only highlights of the season was my 12 year old killing his first teal last Saturday and getting to hunt another season in with my father! Wouldn’t trade it for anything. Here’s to hoping for a better regular duck season!

Youth Size 4, Lacrosse Chest Waders. Worn less than 15 times in 2.5 years. No rips, tears, or holes! In excellent shape. New ones from Mack’s Prairie Wings run around $179. Selling for $85. Can meet within an hour of Salem, MO. Text 573-247-1811 or comment on thread!

I would have to dig to find a photo, but one day we had a dog stop in the middle of a cut field, and every dog would back her which made the front dog back the others. It was one giant circle of 5 dogs backing each other.

Walked about 3 miles Friday morning and could not find a turkey. Got home about 10 and decided to check the field behind the house. Low and behold there was 4 strutting with 3 hens. Didn’t think I stood a prayer, but snuck down the tree line and setup to see what would happen. One gobbler had stayed separated from the other 3 and he eventually decided to walk my way. Could not believe it happened the way it did. 24.5 lbs, 11 inch and 8 inch beards, 7/8th inch spurs. Both spurs would have been over an inch but both were broke off. Saturday took my son and it was a dream hunt. The only problem was he missed! We will be after them again in the morning!

Saw two hens with what looked like at least 10 little ones a week and a half ago in our yard. Same size so they were hard to see in the grass. Haven’t seen them since, but had some work done around the house. Hopefully they have made it through some of the torrential rains we have had.

Have had the worst waterfowl season that I can remember! Early teal season was terrible, which is when we usually have our best luck! Regular season has produced 1 drake... I hope everyone else is having a better time than we have! Ok, rant over! I want to wish everyone here and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Also, heard today that from Alley to Eminence is unfloatable due to the flood. Haven't been down to see it but it was a pretty reliable source.

Honestly I would start at 17 Bridge if you are only going 2 1/2 days. It will still be a push to get all the way to Eminence in my opinion. As a kid we would go 17 to Alley in 2 1/2 days. Especially if u want to fish much.
