We're getting a wintery mix here in Columbia. Just a warmup for this weekend.

Anyone bringing eggs?

I have plates, utensils, paper towels, and sime bowls. Can someone grab cups and trash bags? Have the last two boxes in this store of the Don's chuck wagon onion ring batter😂.

Good luck on your elk hunt. A bit jealous. My first and last trip was a bust on seeing elk. Found a decent skeletonized 5 by 5 that I brought home the antlers. It's been almost 6 yrs ago. Can't either put away the money or make the time to get back out west. Anyway good luck again and like @JestersHK said looking forward to the report.

@shrapnel Congrats sounds like a good bite! I just can't see the photos😢.

They scare off girls because they have armadillos in their trousers😂.

One of my goals now is to catch that Taney brown trout. Another is to not have my name become another verb .

I had the advantage, I got to pack last Sat/Sun in order to head to Missouri. I even got to pay to fly with my fishing rods .

I brought five rod and reel combos, waders, two headlamps, hand and foot warmers, hat, jerkbaits, zig jigs, plastics, and will likely pick up some redworms in case I get the itch to run to some creeks for micros! And with all of that maybe I will catch a fish or two and not lose all my tackle getting Follyrigged on the bottom !

Hey did you try to fish the Mad River? Didn't know if you had caught a trout in Ohio already.

Let me know if you are willing to put up with me for a half day Friday after I get down to Phil's.

Would love to fish with you Sat morning.

See Wrench you guys are way above average !

Confirmed Friday morning/early afternoon; no boat; looking to bring mushrooms, batter for frying on Friday night. I have limited options for cooking here in Columbia, but I can also bring plastic utensils, paper plates, paper towels

Here's one that has that in the running for most pointless - 52% of all accidents happen in the home.

Good Luck guys. Going to miss seeing all of you and eating that smoked cheddar @WoundedOne

Certainly is with all those hearts you guys eat ! At least from the deer that you shoot and not Pat's !

I second that!

Here's what the Kansas Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism folks have on website: Elk were another big game species that were common in pre-settlement Kansas. They were also extirpated at the turn of the century. However, a small herd was maintained at the Maxwell Wildlife Area near McPherson. The 2,200-acre enclosure is operated as a refuge and also features bison. In 1981, elk from Maxwell were released at the Cimarron National Grassland, and that herd was free-ranging. To keep that herd from growing too big and causing crop damage, a limited resident-only season was opened in 1987. Later in the 1980s, elk were captured at Maxwell and released on the Ft. Riley Military Reservation. That herd is also free-ranging, and a season was established for the fort in 1990. Today, elk are primarily hunted on and around Ft. Riley, but individual elk or small herds may be found at other locations around the state, and hunting is permitted everywhere except Morton County. About 900 applications are received for the 20 or so permits allotted each year, and they are divided among military personnel and Kansas residents.

I'm in for Taney. Meeting at Phil's? I still would be headed down on Friday morning. Hopefully someone has a seat open for Friday afternoon. Not sure that I can make a Feb appearance but will consider when we start with dates. Certainly not around Valentines😌.

Dan Congrats to your son! Pretty intense. Did you two use dogs as well to bay the hog?

I have no issue fishing good water in bad weather. Just don't like fishing bad water in bad weather. Especially if there are options.

He sent me photos😁.

Hearing from folks in the know that the river is running trashy. Some suggest that with the trashy water and crappie weather in the forecast a postponement until Feb should be considered. I don't know if I would be able to make a trip in Feb. But I also don't want to be sitting in the lodge due to snow and ice watching crap water going by and not being able to catch some fish either. If I am going to drive four plus hours one way and not catch fish I should just go to Crane creek😂. Thoughts?

Hey that's my rental car for this week 😢.
