  1. Did you get any of the guys that brought in a cold deer with rigor mortis at 10 am opening morning saying that they shot it that morning? I have a friend in the MDC and he told me that in the first year of the phone telecheck manned by live people that they caught hundreds of folks that checked in "does' that were actually bucks simply by asking how many points did the deer have. if you answered with a number they came to your house.

    Five or so years away until our youngest is out of the house. Still a bit of time with her.
  3. I agree. Prefer to trout fish from Oct to April. Problem with Oct is hunting conflicts but try to get browns in their prespawn attempts. However most of my trips occur after mid Feb. Usually very few people and the fish have usually recovered from any attempted spawn and are active feeders.

    Shepard's pie sounds great. Top that off with time spent with family really made for a great night!

    Too bad you didn't grow the squash😜. Looked great. We love winter squash and especially stuffing them like those. When we moved our chest freezer filled with my venison not sure things would stay frozen. It was all good. Now I'm thinking grinding and mixing up some sausage. Then need to get some acorns here at the Folly house East.
  6. Sorry to hear about the accident. Get well in time for MO deer season. It sucks having to canvel. Glad you got a refund.
  7. That looked like a steelhead. Great catch and release! Congrats Travis!

    Beef tongue

    We like deer heart. Again in limited quantities.
  9. A great photo essay! I'm as excited or more so for tha ozark bass than the smallmouth. I didn't get a chance to fish for them in Finley before my life got crazy with work travel. Can't do everything.

    Beef tongue

    It does have a thick skin that needs to be peeled off the meat inside. You don't want it tasting you while you're tasting it 😌. The texture of the meat can be an issue to those that haven't eaten tongue. We like it though don't have access to get it often. If we shot more than one or two deer a season would certainly try deer tongue. Have a couple of recipes I would want to try.

    Looks great Chief! Drooling a bit.
  12. Very nice thick walleye. Congrats!
  13. Any one in the know will tell you before you buy fish check for clear eyes and little smell. This is definitely a bit shady way to sell off older fish.
  14. #16 hook with piece of redworm. Bullied it's way to get the bait. Happens so infrequently that you remember each stoneroller strike 😁.
  15. Catching aquarium fish at Taney even if on a fly rod may not be the proper way buddy😝.
  16. Love it when they get breeding turbcles as well like this hornyhead chub. Or this largescale stoneroller which actually ate my bait believe or not.
  17. I always like a nicely colored minnow😁.
  18. Very nice smallmouth. Congrats! Glad that you were able to get your gear.
  19. Thats a real nice football of a brown trout. Love the fall colors. Congrats!
  20. If you could afford it, a replica of each native would be really cool!
  21. Congrats Marty! Good luck on Teal when the season start next week. I didn't get to take advantage of the hickory nut bonanza for squirrels on this trip. Too many meetings at work! Missed on my favorite times to hunt. Will likely also miss the fall mushrooms here in Missouri.
  22. That looks fantastic! Congrats on a great cutthroat. Like @WoundedOne one of my goals for Jigfest !
  23. Probably. When I fish down there I am thinking brown trout and not rainbows. So I like to power fish and blow through hole and runs to find active and aggressive fish. A fly rod probably would have got fish to hand. Like I said they had a crappy guide.
  24. Will do buddy!
