I too have to log in almost everytime I visit the site. It has been going on for a couple of months for me.

Its a sticky wicket when you show someone your spot. I prefished hard for a central division BASS tournament on Eufala in Oklahome one year. Found a good bunch of fish on a flooded willow bank up in Duchess creek. Was going to check them two days before the tournament and a non boater from our team wanted to go, so I took him with me. Guess what, the day of the tournament I run to them and the non boater from the Missouri team was on the bank with a guy from Texas. I pulled in and started to fish and the Texas guy told me to leave it , it was there spot. I told him he wouldnt even have been there if it hadnt been for me showing the non boater where it was and that I was going to fish it. Some words were exchanged and he said he was going to protest me on the so many feet away from a tournament boat rule. I roared off mad and went fishing in some other spots I had. Long story short the Texas guy won the tournament off that spot. I learned that there are no ethics when money is involved and if you show someone your spot its gone. Guess I shouldnt judge over that one incident but am still bitter over it and it has been 18 years.

Thought you were talking about opening day at Roaring River for a second.

Have been hunting a big buck uo at Stockton Lake all week, Saw him before season real good 10-12 point and around 200lbs. During season just glimpses of him. Yesterday was hunting 50 yards away from one of his scrapes. Mid morning I got up and walked. Went into a patch of woods 300 yards from the scrape and there he was. Saw each other at the same time, took the shot although it was very brushy and around 70 yards. Missed! Walked on to where my son was and around 1 hour later returned to the scrape. He had went to it after I shot at him and worked it up good. Talk about a slap in the face. Guess thats why he is a monster! Oh well maybe black powder season.

Glad you missed it too. You would have had to have your small game permit and a fur bearer permit to be legal.

My daughter in law got a 9 point yesterday me nothing. She called this morning already to let me know it field dressed at 160 pounds! Those girl hunters are ruthless!!

Phil, so a dock like yours would be off limits? That would suck. While on the subject why dont you charge non resort guests a couple of bucks to fish off the dock? Dont get me wrong I think its great that you let em fish for free, but I would gladly pay a couple of bucks to fish off the dock. Think your missing out on some milk money. Or if the pay is there more of a liability issue? Just curious.

My 150 merc has started doing that alot. When it happens I change the fuel/water filter and it stops. Ethanol has been a flop. Too many things have suffered because of it. Grain prices, cattle, ect.

We have thousands of acres of public hunting down here so leases dont come into play much. Also just do it the ole fashioned way just go ask the property owner to hunt 50% will say yes.

It is said that the ability to make and understand PUNS is the highest level of language development. Here are the top 10 winners in the International Pun Contest. 1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The Stewardess looks at him and says, 'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger. 2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, 'Dam!' 3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly, it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it, too. 4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my electron.' The other says, 'Are you sure?' The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive.' 5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication. 6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. 'But why?' they asked, as they moved off. 'Because,' he said, 'I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer.' 7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named Ahmal. The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him Juan. Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, 'They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal.' 8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to 'persuade' them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars. 9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is SO BAD, it's good!) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. 10. And, finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

I would like to have a phone that is just a phone. I dont need to text, if I want a picture I will use my camara, if I want internet I will use my computer. Just a well built phone with big numbers and just a phone. Oh and a screen that you can see well in sunlight. Why cant they make one?

Welcome!

Had a neighbor in Girard Ks that raised cattle and catfish. Our farms were divided by the Frisco railroad tracks. We also raised cattle. I had a german shepard that would run his cattle but not bother ours. One morning no dog so went to searching. Found her on the railroad tracks decapated, and a bullet hole in her. He had shot her and then laid her on the tracks so we would think she got ran over by the train. I was a teenager and thougt I would catch all th catfish out of his brood ponds,( he had 8 of the ponds all right next to each other) and make him go broke. I began my nightly rituals of sneaking over there with pole in hand. I caught the crap out of channel cats. He got wise as his dogs would bark when I was down there so he brought his cattle up every night and when the dogs barked he would spray the pond areas with his 22 rifle from his back porch. I would lay low on the pond dam until the shooting stopped and then go back to fishing. One night I caught a huge channel cat and Wal Mart had a fishing contest in Pittsburg. I put it in our stock tank and the next day took it over there. It weighed 22 pounds and I won the channel cat division from Wal Mart. The next day he came over to the house with the Pittsburg paper in hand. It had a picture of me in the paper for winning the fishing contest. I was busted! We later became very good friends and he taught me alot about cattle and catfish. I later held no ill feelings for him killing my dog. Its the way of the west!

During gun season I let some pass and enjoy the full hunting season. One deer is all I kill as that is all we can eat and have room for. Sometimes the passing up can cause a no kill but still enjoy it.

Gas $1.96 in Joplin. Just curious what it was down Branson way. Diesel is $3.07

Believe that is him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQVTU8FfQ-Y

Its a guy named Mr Sparky fishing table rock this year.

Cant get the link to work. I suck

[ Saw this on utube. Who is this guy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQVTU8FfQ-Y

Another good sign would be: Warning Candiru fish present, enter at your own risk!!! Might want to google it if you dont know what it is.

I had heard the same thing, glad they are still open!

I know most have already heard that the retired owners of the Old Cabin Shop in Carthage were shot and killed in their home this weekend. I used to buy all my blackpowder supplies from them. They were nice folks and will be missed. Who would want to kill 70 year old people? Sad, sad.

Missouri"s new castle law says you can use deadly force for intruders in your home or vehicle . Before you had to have no escape and feel that your life was in danger before using deadly force. Now someone comes into your home you can fire away without all the if's. Someone breaks into your car in the middle of the night you can shoot them. I know this is getting away from the CCW issue, but I dont think castle law applies when not in your home or vehicle. Just somthing to think about before pulling a gun on somebody in the middle of the woods.

Wow an eye opener for sure.

That would never happen in a Charger tournamnet! LMAO! The post didnt imply that all Champ owners were rude, just that Bill had problems with the group and it happened to be a Champ tournament.
