I was at Ft. Riley for a week while in HS ROTC. Nothing memorable about the fort except we got to shoot and qualify with just about every infantry weapon in the US Army at the time. M-1, M-1 Carbine, M-2 Carbine (full auto baby), M-14, B.A.R. (the Beast) and .30 Cal. Machine Gun. The target for the .30 Cal was only about 30 yards away but my takeaway was you don't fire a machine gun for accuracy, it's to let the enemy know you have one. Couldn't hit shit with it while qualifying with everything else. Good times.

Not legal but he should.“Can I legally shoot this?” - text from my Dad with this pic
looks like a heron. Had near a thousand nesting in trees at the old farm (rec farm) and it stunk of fish where they nested. They were constantly at the lake on the property feasting. Tried like he'll to get them out, but the conservation officer said doing anything would be a bad idea..

If I asked myself "Can I legally do this?" and didn't do every no answer. I'd have had a lot less fun.“Can I legally shoot this?” - text from my Dad with this pic
Also jealous of setup without even knowing what lake that is.

about 6 miles east-Northeast of Warsaw Missouri, so "legal" is sort of a nebulous concept
he is retiring in December and my parents are moving there full time, my Mom says he watches the live feed of the dock camera during church

Awesome, and if he is in MO, I highly doubt there would be many repercussions… looks like a sweet setup there! The ‘ol lady and I have been looking for property in MO.

Those are cool fish. You ever eat them?

Yeah. They get mushy pretty fast so it’s pretty much straight from the stream to the fire. It’s just a fancy whitefish.

I find it pretty hard to take pictures of fish I catch because I’m fairly clumsy in fast water. This stream had a major flood and now it’s full of these log jams where trout and grayling are stacked up. It’s hard to get them out of the structure though.
I missed getting a picture of a lynx that walked by my car when I was changing out of waders.

Have you seen the yearly videos of folks out on the ice when that guy calves?
Scares the crap out of me just watching?

Anyone on here get their bows out and starting to get ready for deer season yet? I’ve already got the itch, about to start driving west and scouting out some Muley areas

Sadly I usually sling an arrow or two before the first hunt and then hit the trees. I do not recommend this tho. Always nice to catch a few nice summer nights to sling darts and drink a few beers.

Glen elder is a fun place to fish. A good friend of mine who frequents the lake and is an avid fisherman had his boat get swamped at the dock a couple weeks ago. He’s lucky as he barley even made it back in time to tie up.
