In the pre-show I had a chance to discuss some planning for the Rondi with Kirk & Ron and will try to get these changes set with the moderator to unlock the thread long enough to bring it up to date.

8:30 The Rondi will open with a Canada Geese Harassment Demonstration. We discussed multiple trapping sets starting with demonstrations by Kirk with instruction on live cage beaver trapping and see all of his beaver cages and other cages. Followed by Jonesie discussing NWCO Snaring and Tim Julien discussing effective urban coyote trapping. David McLeod will do a yellow jacket removal demonstration.

10:00 Vendor Exhibits (Coffee Break)

10:15 Hands On Collarum, Snares and more.

Looking for volunteers to demonstration their favorite traps and sets for Beaver, Bobcat, Coyote, Fox, Geese, Otter, opossum, raccoon, Skunk, Squirrel... you get the idea. Interested PM Me?

Want to know what Kirk and Ron will be discussing at the Rondi Listen to the beginning of the podcast with my interviews with both of them when they told me exactly what their Rondo Class Instruction plans are.

The Rondi started by Ron Jones discussing all live capture options snares, cages, belisle foot snare, collarums and other options available today. Thank you Jonesie real first class information. Next week water sets

What is with the four foot rolls? I can get two two foot rolls for less than a hundred bucks, but one four foot roll costs one arm, one leg, and my first born!

Monday is the deadline for early registration at $60 each.

I will still honor Stephen Vantassel's NWTCP manual for $29 through Monday.

For those of you on the fence I need your entries postmarked any day before Oct 16th !

Hope to see many of you there !!

I am gonna have Tim Julien of Proline demonstrate using the collarums at our Rondi this coming Sat Oct 27th 2012 Moultrie GA. WCS per Tim Julien says he will also have one collarum to give away at the Rondi.

One of the main objectives is to get more hands on using the collarum.

Last night for pre-registration pm me if interested in saving $39 at the door
THE NWTCP Manual is $29 bucks with pre-registration before midnight tonight. Boy tomorrow morning will be fine if you mention you read it here.

Tim gives a great Collarum demo! I wish I will be there to see it again. Youth deer hunt that weekend so I won't make it. October is just way to difficult to get away.

I will have at least six different cage traps for use in catching beaver and otter. There will be unique trap designs never shown before for other animals, as well as beaver.

Hope to see you there!

Kirk

We had some excellent presentations. Literally was exceptional. Speakers did a superb job. Couldn,t have been a better group of attendees.




As you can imagine, Warrior was dressed for the event.

Certainly was great to meet and greet all.

I also thought it was outstanding! Thanks to Robb and for putting this on and thanks to all presenters....it was excellent!

I want to thank all of the presenters Eric Arnold, Tim Julien, Ron Jones, Kirk Dekalb, David McLeod, Neal Mcleure and Rod Pinkston.

The Canada Geese hazing demonstration was a bust. The geese actually left while Goose Chasers was setting up.But that's ok we had a morning full of trapping demonstrations "honk free" which was my plan anyway.

For all of you who would of , could of and should of we will be doing this again next year In Moultrie GA

We had a blast at the Rondi. Lots of great presenters giving out a lot of good info. It was great to meet everyone and get a chance to put a face with a name.

Kirk, it was so good to see you again. I think we really had a great event and will continue to do so into the future.

This was the second time I had a chance to do a Rondi with Kirk Dekalb.
Its always an an honor to do any event with Kirk Dekalb, Great trapper, teacher, trap maker and innovator of the North American Trapping Industry .

Robb

Thanks to all for allowing me to be part of this great event. Good to put faces with names after many years. Very refreshing to gather with NWCOs for all the right reasons. Folks from NJ, FL, CA, GA, OH, KY, CO and IN where there. Good People good food Just what else is there? Thanks again and hope to be there next year.

Thanks to all the presenters for taking time out of your bu. sy scheduals to pass on your knowledge. Pete and I really enjoyed meeting everyone and took alot of good informationfrom the demonstrations. Thanks again guys

Sure was good to meet a lot of you folks who post on T-man at the Rondi. I especially liked the after hours meetings on Fri and Sat night back at the campground with Rick, Bob, Bruce, Matt, Krystal and several others whose names I don't recall.
You just can't top the back and forth you get when you're face to face talking tactics with fellow WCO's without the need to self censure.

Just a few of my personal highlights. There were some excellent "in the dirt" demos on Saturday from Tim Julien and Ron Jones regarding snares, footholds and the collarum. I also learned some great tips from Kirk on caging beaver.

Warrior's (Dave's) presentation on removing stinging insects was very eye-opening and because of it I'll most likely be adding that non-chemical removal service to my repertoire.

Eric Arnold's discussion of caulks, foams, trim coil, exclusion, etc was as usual, very informative and better yet, extremely useful.

For me it was certainly well worth the 8 hour drive.

I think I need to put a good/better effort into attending next year even if it is in the middle of antelope season. How many attendees did you have Robb?
