Calling all Ozark outdoorsmen

[Handycamp]

A while back I suggested starting an informal hunting/fishing/camping club for guys in the Ozarks region (primarily AR and MO, though I don't really care where you're from). Then some stuff came up and I had to put the idea on hold. Now I am ready! I know hunting season is approaching, so many of you are out in the field and not on the computer. But if this idea interests you, please chime in. If enough of you show interest, I'd like to rent a meeting room somewhere like Springfield or Branson, MO, so we can all get together and talk about our passions and obsessions (at least the ones related to fun outdoor stuff, ha ha). I will post this in the general discussion forum as well.

I think this would be a great way to meet other guys who like to fish and hunt in the Ozarks, and maybe plan some trips that might not be possible otherwise, especially for us older fellas. Let me know what you think!

Hey, welcome new guy!

I did a little research, found out we could rent a meeting room at Big Cedar Lodge that accommodates 14 guys for the entire evening for around $50 a head. That includes catering, but not lodging. I think that would work if we could get at least a dozen guys to commit. Late next month (March) would be a good time. What do you guys think?

If anyone is still interested, please reply to the thread in the general discussion forum.

Well, after much consideration, I have decided to postpone the first meeting of the Ozark Outdoor Organization until winter. Thanks to all who responded, especially those who can't make it any time soon but wanted me to know that you are still interested. Everyone just seems to be busy right now, with life or with hunting.

I'm going to tentatively plan a meeting for mid January. It will be a neutral and relatively central location. I will charge a small ticket price, like maybe $20, just to defray some of the cost of renting a meeting place and to deter no-shows. When we get a little closer, I will give everyone my mailing address so you can send the money for your ticket. I will keep records and refund everyone if the meeting gets cancelled. That way, the serious folks can at least get this off the ground, and then future meetings can be anywhere we like.

I'll renew this post in couple of months.

Hot barrels and tight lines!
