I just got out of a meeting saying that I will be working a shutdown from Jan 28-February 12th so that obviously effects my dates. I'm looking at the weekend of the 13th-15th or 20th-22nd. I'm still waiting on available dates through Northen Skies Here are the dates available through Migrator Valley Outfitters:
South East Mo
FEB 6-7 4 PEOPLE
FEB 4-5 1 FULL GROUP
FEB 8-11 1 FULL GROUP
13-15 1 FULL GROUP
16-22 1 FULL GROUP

NW MISSOURI
FEB 26-MAR 5TH 1 GROUP

I'm out then. I'm like you guys work comes first. Good luck to anyone who gets to go. I know this will be a great time.

If you make that FEB 6-7 hunt he can mix your group in with the other group...just throwing that out there if you were trying to make a hunt.

I can do that but I'll have to hustle home that night to catch my flight out on the 8th. When do yall think will be best days for the Salty Cajun Group to go?

I definitely cant do the 13-15th, possibly the next weekend

Weekend of the 21st works for me better as far as vacation. May be me +3. Waiting to hear from the others. They'll hunt 8 out of a field. 6 or more gets you your own field.

Boy if this page doesn't get your tadpole moving I don't know what will. http://migratorvalleyoutfitters.com/our-videos.html I spoke with Shane at Migrator Valley last night for about an hour. Before I told him the dates that I wanted he said that he considers the most consistent hunting to be from the middle of February until March for Missouri. Sounds like a level headed honest guy who shares our passion for killing birds.

I can do the 6th, 13th or 27th of feb. Mason has a big tournament on the 20th.

I can do a weekday trip as well.

Here is what Northern Skies responded back with:
[SIZE=3][SIZE=3][SIZE=3]We could do January 28,29,30 in AR or March 10,11,12 or 13 in MO. If you end up with a smaller group there would be a few more options . The only weekend I have for a group of 6 or more would be March 21,22,23 in SD.

My guys can only do weekend trips hence the 14th and 21st weekends. I'm waiting to hear back from them now. Casey, you still looking at you +1 if we went weekend of the 14th? Meaux any word if you'd be down for the 21st? Basically I'll book whichever weekend I can manage 6 people so we get a field to ourselves.

Shane is the Lead man for that outfit. He does the majority of the scouting and organizing. He will do his best to put you on the birds. We hunted with MVO last year and had Bruce as our guide. Good outfit to hunt with overall.

I can do just me or I can bring my oldest son if we need another person. He would love it and can shoot for an almost 12 year old.

So it looks like 3 on my end for the dates of the 20th-23rd. Sorry Casey.

No problem man, I have to be there for Mason, first tourney of the new season.

I hope you guys smoke them and I wish I could be there.

That a baseball tourney already?

Baseball is 10 mths out the year now.

Our first tournament is the second weekend in March.

Yes first tourney is on feb 20th practice starts this week.

I'm not gonna make it Shawn.

Yall need to go here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2THVxTJWaQ&sns=fb

I thought about doing a conservation hunt for my bachelor party but wasn't sure because I've heard how hit or miss it is. Anyone got a lead on an Arkansas hunt for a group of 5 between feb and mar? Pm if possible.
