Thinking last weekend of May. Going to try and narrow down some locations this weekend and give them a call to make sure they will allow us to climb trees. Some camp areas I looked at were saying no hammocks on trees so that makes me wonder if they will allow us to do the demos.
We could always go to one of the lakes around here. They allow treestands and people put up hammocks. And they are campsites so they should be fine
If you're wanting to do a fall hunt in that area, be aware that area is Chadwick. It is a huge off road riding area. We used to ride dirt bikes down there years ago. Not sure how hunting would be around there.Here was my thoughts based on where people are coming from. Also, if we do an option of second meet up in fall for a hunt competition and plenty of public to do so.
Yeah I thought about camping there. This pic shows the off-road trails. Thought could hunt south or east of the trails area. Anyone have experience hunting the area?
You won’t want to go to Chadwick.. it will be full of dirt bikes.. that’s all that place is really. There is a ton of Mark Twain in this part of Missouri
What about Indian Trail Conservation Area? I have not personally been there, but it seems to fit most of our needs: SouthCentral, lots of room, allows hunting, camping options, etc.
What about Mule shoe consrvation area? Plenty of camping space/sites,some what low pressure. The only thing is im not sure if it has power outlets.
Thanks for the extra spots to check I will look into them and contact some places tomorrow to make sure they are good with our demo session. My thoughts were to do that right at the campground.
For the Chadwick I def wasn’t thinking hunt that area it just seems to have the best camp ground around there.
Here is a pic of what I hand in mind there. Green marker is camp ground, red is where all the dirt bike trails are and blue is where I thought could do the hunt in the fall.
The other areas I was looking at was Sunkhill CA, Angeline CA and Current River CA. They are right by each other and have 100000+ acres between them not to mention the Mark Twain in the area too.
