I wont point fingers but some really should evaluate their statements for forms of snobbery.

Come on guys shush.... some of the crowds might not know that the TCGS is attracted to lights and of course fall is its mating season. I have always felt better having a red led bulb option on my headlamp while doing the turn and tie or de-tangle from guides maneuver. Manytimes tho I have had to use a white beam (aimed to shore) to figure out exactly where I am standing. If not stumps holes and holes heck giant rocks can be pretty nasty.

The tower is not the problem IMHO. The phone can easily be ignored, left in the truck, or turned off but one thing that people that fish around others need to remember is. I and others might not want to hear your back to reality devise ring, play songs, or whatever. Many get out there to get away. So if ya just have to stay connected try and do it quietly.

You took some wonderful pictures darn shame you did not get his picture. I might have had to that screwdriver is a deadly weapon. pic not mine just borrowed from else where

My favorite part of celebrating my birthday beside friends family and all that. Is the cake. And well since I can't have any of Phil's. I guess I'll post a picture of a cool cake and leave it here.

I am also glad to see you posting on the board again, CC. I had enjoyed your contributions here greatly. Now to the topic at hand I have in recent years been spending much more time observing than in the past. Getting in the "zone" mentally does add greatly to my enjoyment of the entire experience. Don't know that it has increased the numbers or sizes caught but that has not been nearly as important to me as it used too be. I do however remember the small details of the excursions much more clearly and that has been great.

Days fish and family like that are truly a blessing. Thanks for sharing a wonderful report.

Maybe they are just getting that many more from the ladder that was installed

As of now there is a restriction that furs must be sold by a certain date by trapper rather than allowing them to keep them to sell later for a better price. We need trappers in this state and allowing the few we have to be free to do with their hard earned pelts seems only logical. Help keep them profitable. Only takes a moment. Petition link

Lead thread

+1 This has worked for me also on a couple of occasions

Link Finally found evidence of an attack to support your "fear" for ya bud.

Yes it was a good time. Same great group plus a few fellas I had not had the privilege of meeting yet. Shame most the fish were about half the size of seasons past, hopefully this trend does not continue.

So fellas that are down whats happening? Any bugs on the water? What needs to be tied or at least accounted for in the box be fore I head out. Leaving early am tomorrow!

Since this was in the fly swap thread I figured he just wanted to swap materials. Would that be illegal?

Moduck I apologize for further mucking up your thread. Seems I could not explain why its inappropriate. To comment about others sale ads negatively.

This is a sale thread not a regular thread. IMHO it is in pour taste and extremely dense of someone not to see that. Manners some have em. Sadly most do not anymore.

Welcome, This forum has turned many strangers into friends. To all ya others, No way I could use a rod that describes my casting so well...lol

Welcome and yes please keep the rest of us posted.

Enjoy your birthday Wrench. I will no longer be responding to your baseless attacks. This tread was simply passing along info I had gathered to the proper area in the forum for those who may have been interested. Any question that I maybe able to help others with I will continue to try and be of assistance.

For the record I have absolutely nothing against open carry. But where I live and travel there are such a patch work of laws regarding carrying that OC could be legal on one side of a street and illegal on the other.

Open carry while not illegal by state law is allowed by the state to be regulated by any local municipality and many townships have decided to do so. Licensed Concealed carry is preempted by state law and their for is exempted from local ordinances.

LOL How about we agree that you can choose to do what you want where you want. And I and other people can choose to ignore someone that thinks so much of themselves or their importance. That they assume the ability to tell others what they should or should not do.

I should clarify the article a bit more. Where this change was first brought to my attention. The following email was just provided clearing the changes up a little more clearly. You must be a concealed carry permit holder, qualified law enforcement officer, or retired law enforcement officer. MR, XXXXXXXX I don’t remember giving that quote, especially since the article doesn’t even provide my correct title. Nonetheless, the information regarding the new Regulation allowing properly licensed individuals (Concealed Carry Permittees and qualified law enforcement officers or retired law enforcement officers as defined in the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (18 USC 926B or 18 USC 926C) to carry concealable firearms while deer and turkey hunting, but not allowing them to hunt with these firearms - is indeed correct. Here is some of the verbiage that will appear in the March 1, 2011 Wildlife Code of Missouri – Under: Deer Hunting Seasons: General Provisions 3 CSR 10-7.431 (Firearms possessed under this exception may not be used to take wildlife while deer hunting. Proof of this exception must be carried while hunting); Deer: Archery Hunting Season 3 CSR 10-7.432 (Firearms possessed under these exceptions may not be used to take wildlife while archery hunting. Proof of this exception must be carried while hunting.) and Turkeys: Seasons, Methods, Limits 3 CSR 10-7.455 (Firearms possessed under these exceptions may not be used to take wildlife while hunting with a bow. Proof of this exception must be carried while hunting.) Please keep in mind that handguns are already allowed for hunting during the firearms portion of the deer season as long as they are not: concealed, fully automatic, and capable of holding more than eleven rounds of ammunition. If you have any further questions please let me know. Thanks and take care, Dean C. Harre Protection Division Field Chief – Ozark Unit
