Let him ride! Let my 7yr old ride a few and I hopped on a bull for the first time at age 30. It’s a weighty decision because if they get hooked on rodeo they’re bound to get injured. Which doesn’t feel right. Ya wanna protect your kids. But I think it’s worth the risk. All the great things in life have some risk. It builds courage and endurance. And for all the drunken foolishness in the rodeo community, it’s still better than most of the sports community. Name another sport where the whole crowd prays over their athletes. None.

No commercial yeast at all...

That's like Fly Fishing with a little worm on your streamer.....lol

Many yrs ago we got a little dog ( not sure of the breeds mixed into her) from the pound for the girls when they were small.

The first storm that happened when she came home a couple months later we couldnt find the dog in the house.

ended up she had hopped into our open dryer an hid there. afterwards an hour before a thunderstorm hit she would head for the dryer an stay there till it ended.

Lady was a good dog till she passed but we always knew when a storm was headin our way. kids always had a blanket in the dryer for when when she did.

When I lived in MT, I accidently caught several lions. I caught them in a #2 Duke and #3 Bridger CS's. Releasing them was not fun. But, they did not seem to fight the trap that hard. I would think any large size CS or LS would work for them.

Talk about sandy soil.....this is one of the recently planted chufa plots.....easy for the turkeys to scratch 'em up this winter in that sand...lol

It's rediculous that you have to make the case that you won't catch a beaver in an otter set, when an occasional incidental would have no population level effect on beaver, but that is the level of understanding you are dealing with. Sad really.

Howd this end up?

Thanks Chad! Lookin forward to it. You guys and gals always have a great show!

Looks like a clown car when they bail out after an accident....then run like ICE is after them....

Steven, thanks to you and your crew for putting together the Camp Cattrax Fish Fry.
I’ll be there!

Yes, time is flying by, and it’s almost the 4th of July already, crazy

Yes, there’s lots to see, as mentioned, over in the Panhandle of Nebraska, to the east of Lusk.

About 30,000 acres burned around Fort Robinson a few weeks ago, and it burned right down to the Fort buildings at some points from what I hear, but I don’t believe any of the buildings were lost, but I could be wrong

Very worth the visit though

Also, to the South about an hour away, is Fort Laramie, which has a lot of history and is another spot worth driving to.

As for vendors, yes, there’ll be vendors in snout 2/3 the main building.

Otis Latham will have a line of his top quality basswood stretchers, which are the very top of the line, and he also brings some other items he creates too

I’m sure Tracy Truman will have his books and Wyldwings and other items

Tuffy Halls has a line of supplies he brings, including traps

Mark Charpentier is bringing some supplies

Travis Chilson wil be selling his Lure & Baits

Brent Kindervater will have some antique traps

Kyle Krebs will have some very nice products made of fur

Monte Poole is bringing his quality products, including his slide drivers, and other items

We’ll have Fur Country Lures, Snares, general supplies

And, Keith Gregerson will be bringing a lot of his unique items including snares and a bunch of things you can’t find anywhere else down from Roundup MT again this year!

We try to reserve about 1/3 of the space in the building for tables to sit at and eat and visit, and get out if the heat for awhile,

Coyote Day’s is geared around the 10 non-stop hourly demos each day, and the Friday night round table that is the best chance to have your questions answered and discussed in an open air forum type format, EVER

No, he's talking to the ol fart that invented the trap.
