    Do you want me to bring my big cast iron pan again for that egg casserole?

    Please bring the pan, as it will work better than anything I have.

    Missouri Frozen Butt Hang 2023

    It's time to discuss our winter hang. Is Bell Mountain the preferred site, or does someone have a suggestion? Let's get together again. I will bring two sets of car keys this time. LOL

    I tend to agree on a one week push back but I will message Twenty Below, since he knows of the plans of several others. Let's wait for his assessment of continuing or putting off one week.
