I wuz batching at the time whilst ol’ Nevah and her sis, daughter, and three nieces took a ladies-on- ly vacation to Phoenix, Ariz. So, we Amigos had Damphewmore Acre to ourselves. We not only caught a lot of fish — which included two hot-licks into hungry schools of crappie — but we topped the week off with an Old Geezers’ Fish Fry that included buddies Lon G. Horner. Mocephus, and Levitt N. Lockett. We ate more fish and trimmings than any sane six persons should and shared an evening of thoughtful imbibing of our favorite beverages and storytell- ing. And, the evening got topped off humorously when ol’ Levitt locked the keys in his vehi- cle and had to call his ever-suffering wife to drive 30 miles to rescue him. We’ll all add that episode to our treasure trove of stories for the future. When the Amigos went home, they had ample fish fillets for the winter and we all hoped that good health and good fortune will let us get together next year for another fishing foray.

Exploring Kansas Outdoors By Steve Gilliland [email protected] seasons upon us, allow me to offer some per- tinent information. In Kansas, law requires hunters to gain land owner permission even on unmarked prop- erty, so no signs of any sort are required for that landowner to regulate hunting on their land. Let me also note the difference between “hunting with permission only” and “hunting with WRIT- TEN permission only.” “Hunting with permis- sion only” allows for any form of permission, written, verbal or over the phone, and re- quires the land owner’s signature on any ticket or formal complaint issued by the conser- vation officer. “Hunt- ing with WRITTEN permission only” is satisfied only by per- mission in writing, and gives law enforcement personnel free reign to issue citations, and / or make arrests with no further authorization. By the way, land own- ers, the fish and game dept. furnishes both the signs and permis- sion slips, at no cost, for this type of posting. I’m sure we hunters have all seen the bright purple paint on fence posts and old tires along property lines. These purple markers along property bound- aries also mean “hunt- ing with WRITTEN permission only,” and corresponding compli- ance is required. Fellow sportsmen we don’t need to give hunting and trapping any more black eyes, so please be absolutely certain of your target when hunting and al- ways error on the side of safety if you’re not sure. Get the required permission to be on someone else’s proper- ty and make sure that landowner understands exactly how you will be using their land. Be safe and take someone hunting or trapping this year as you contin- ue to Explore Kansas Outdoors! Steve can be contact- ed by email at stevenr- [email protected].
