2016 MO Ozarks Rok Rally / Turkey Hunt

[Pilgrim]

Thoughts / ideas on doin' this again?

 

[Pilgrim]

Season dates are Apr. 18 to May 08. Weekends are Apr. 23/24, Apr. 30/May 1 and May 7/8. We've not done well later in the season. I'm leaning strongly toward the earlier side.

 

[River Rat]

Count me in !
I think it would be better the 23 /24 weekend.

 

[Pilgrim]

I figured. Can always count on the River Rat! I'm with ya on those dates. I can do a 3-day again.

 

[Pilgrim]

Car camp or a pack-in?

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

Might want to do a little scouting first this time. If you want to hit the woods and look for sign let me know. Where are you thinking this year?

 

[Pilgrim]

You're a two-year no-show, l2h, hahaha! Let's hear your suggestions.

 

[River Rat]

If you want to truck camp I have a couple of areas around me. or maybe Leadville con. Area again.

 

[Pilgrim]

I'm down for a truck camp.

I was geared up to go this last year until you moved it 2 hours farther the night before I was supposed to show because you couldn't find turkey. I know a place half an hour south of Rolla that has yet to disappoint. If you want to go down closer your way that's fine too. River rat has some nice areas up his way but I can't personally vouch for turkey as I've never hunted them there.

 

[Pilgrim]

Yeah, that was for sure a bust. We found a couple, but they were not worth the ground we covered to get there! I still can't believe we weren't in 'em. They were either just not talking in that locality or for some unknown reason or that spot just happened to be devoid of birds. We were between two creeks and less than a 1/4 mile from some huge fields on private...

What needs to happen first is to pull the trigger on who is planning. That person can come up with a few options for us to choose from.

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

I guess frankly it makes more sense to go closer to the majority of people. I am just one, not sure about river rat, you generally have a few from your direction so I guess wait and see who's up for it.

 

[Pilgrim]

MOcluck's up in Warsaw and we usually have a few more from Buffalo/Springfield area.

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

BTW I saw a flock of 40-50 today and one of 150-200 last week. I'm itching for it bad this year.

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

Also just picked up an emr2 and the new frame if anyone is wanting to check them out.

 

[Dos Perros]

I've always seen them floating the North Fork. I might join y'all if the dates/location work, assuming you'd have me.

 

[Pilgrim]

Open to all, Friend!

 

[MOshorthair]

I would like to make it, but no promises. Sounds like a good time

 

[Pilgrim]

Just a heads up... I may have to forego this shindig if I decide to compete in the Conway, AR (just north of Little Rock) Train to Hunt events. Anyone else interested in that on May 21-22?

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

I may be if I can get in mediocre shape by then
