Nobody commented on it, but I mentioned a 7:00am meeting time at the archery range.  Will that be a major inconvenience for anyone?  I'll carry my cell phone all day in case anyone shows up later in the day and wants to find us.  816-582-4003.

Kskickapoo and WoodsyDave,

You have PM's

Dave-
I'll give you a call today to finalize what I'm bringing so we can post what is needed for anyone wanting to bring something.  I just bought my license online for the 27th so I'm ready!  I copied you on an email I sent to Mike (he's out of the country at the moment) so heads up on that.  Talk to you soon.
Chris

Whhhhhoooooooo----hhhhoooooooooo!!!!!!!

1:30am, Christmas Eve and the rain has turned to snow and she's coming down HARD!!!

In just about 15 minutes of snow, already the street is white and my truck looks like there is close to a half inch on it!!!!

Look out bunnies and deer!!!!   We're gonna have some fun Saturday!!!


OOOOouuuuhwww   oooouuuhw  oouuuuhw (Beagles in stereo times three)  Yeeeaaaa hhhhhaaaa!

Can ya tell I'm ready????

Oh yea, you guys who want to hunt deer, email me at dbulla2@kc.rr.com so that I can reply in an email with an attached picture.  I dont' see any way to attach a picture to a tradgang PM and I dont' want to post a map of all my hunting spots in this post.  I've got one all made up and an explanation of each stand site.

Parents called and said they'd be here tomorrow.  We'll see if I  go.  I'm thinking if I do it will be till noon.

Dang Brian,

Don't your Mom and Dad know that huntin' comes first???    

Hope you can make it at least for a little while.

Hope everyone here had an great Christmas with family & friends and I'm looking forward to Saturday.  Just wanted to let everyone know that Dave & I have tabulated the grocery list and we should have a pretty decent breakfast.  We do however still need some firewood, a couple dozen eggs and some potatos chopped up Juliann style if anyone would care to donate.  I'm planning on get there between 7/0730 with my cookware and a few tables.  Thought we'd rustle up the breakfast then go and "get er' done" with Mike's beagles. See everyone one Saturday!

Well with having three kids living thoughout the state, mom and dad called last night and won't be here till tuesday. I told them no problem.  I'll be there brightand bushy tailed.

Dave, if you can think of it and have space, bring that jacket we talked about earlier. I'd like to check it out.

It's in the truck Brian.

Chris, I'll be able to bring the potatos.

Got my big stove and disc all ready last night.  I'll round up my coffee pots and coleman stove tonight.  I'm probably gonna try to be there a little before seven but we'll see how that goes.  If I'm up late tonight getting my stuff together, I won't be early.

Woodsydave, let me know if you made it up there today to scout and what spot you decided on.

Kind of a bummer that the snow all melted but at least it's not gonna be sub zero temps.  We might get some fresh snow while we're out from the sound of it but it could be rain too.  I hope it's snow.

Oh yea, I'd strongly suggest everyone wears rubber boots if you have them.  Might be pretty sloppy in places and might have a few places of standing water to cross.  We'll mostly be hunting higher ground but there are numerous ditches and small creeks we may encounter.

I want to wish all you guys good luck tomorrow!! I hope you you have some success tomorrow or at least have a great time which I know you will. Sorry again I couldn't be there, maybe next time. Tripper

I'm in for the potatoes or is it potato's? Whatever... I'll bring the tubers.

We really need a graemlin with a knife and fork.

I guess you don't like Camden Point Potatoes?

How much wire wood do we need? If I signup for this are you going to bring firewood too?  

Tom,

I guess I'm starting to forget who promised what...    

I'll have a knife or two and cutting board(s) there.  Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes or so to cut them up.  Be sure to give them a good rinse at home as we won't have running water on site.  I don't plan to peel them.  Just cube and go...  

Are you going to be there pretty early?  The reason I ask is the potatos take the longest to cook of everything we'll have.  A big honking pan full will take at least 30 to 45 minutes if I do it right.

I'm thinkig I can make the taters in my disc and Chris can do the eggs in his.  I have a flat griddle for my other burner and we'll use it to heat tortillas.  I've got a bunch of ham too.

Make sure you guys don't spoil your appetite at the house before you head out!  It's gonna be a feed!

They cook a lot faster if they are precooked. That is my plan anyway. I'll be there around 6:45 or 7:00. taters will be chopped and browned. Heat and eat is all they will need.

Will 12 split pieces of wood be plenty?

Good luck on your hunts tomorrow guys, I'm not going to be able to make it.  My truck is still in the body shop (2 weeks).  I was hoping to get it done by now but with the holidays it just won't be.

Dennis

Wish I could go to fella's. Tomorrow is My last family dinner of the season. Sister and Her Husband haven't been in town for 4 years so I probably should visit with them. Have a great hunt. There will be lots of good TradGangers there for sure.

Dave, I did make it up there today and scouted. However, the only place I found that I liked already had a ladder stand sitting there.

I will probably just show up at the feed, have breakfast and tag along with the group. Will have my treestand in case we do a push or if I hunt the evening hunt.

Brian, glad you are going. Maybe we can team up for the evening hunt.

WoodsyDave

I saw Brett's name and thought I was going to have to make a run to the store for more potatoes.    Sorry you can't make it Brett.
