One thing no one has mentioned, when I chatted with Don at the NTA last summer, he was talking like last fall may be the last one he has. Course he is the man, so I wouldn't buy my flight ticket untill he says go!

lmao... this has gotten a bit funny I see... hahaha... Mr. Morris, I would suggest the peanut gallery comments be kept to a minimum unless you want me to disclose how you 'obtained' some beverage... lol...

PSA: AIX SPONSA - DO NOT CRASH AT HIS PLACE - Unless your into that sorta thing... Just sayin'

BTW: Looks like Mitchell was giving the "hey look, over there" while I was chatting it up... lol

I went expecting almost all mink with a little bit of other stuff mixed in. Instead, it was a TON of everything. There were lessons on Beaver, Mink, Otter, Coon, Muskrat, Fisher, Martin, Weasel, Coyote, Foxes, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, and Red O’Hern. I’m sure I missed something...

Hey, whoa, keep the shots above the belt bro! I told you that in confidence! lol



That was right when Ole Mitchell applied his super secret lion lure! I was not quick enough to get a picture of it! Us poor missouori guys fall for "hey look over there" trick every time

There are demos by many top quality trappers and you can sit around the camp fire and shoot the breeze with the likes of Mark Zaggerman, Russ Carman, Rich Faler, Dick Atkins, etc. Located in the beautiful rolling hills of western PA. Don usually has a surprise visitor like the the real Punxsutawney Phil and one of his handlers.The first event a few years back had an attendance of four trappers and now is one of the premier trapper events in the country.

Sorry for the rabbit punch Morris lol... my bad

Well, what I heard is that Hagz will be doing a Samoan Fire Knife Dance Performance using Fat Pine on Saturday night. It'll be part of the Minktober closing ceremonies. Save money by getting your tickets early!

with a bear trap Hags bracket around his neck!

Hahahaha

Zagger told me Haggerty wasn't allowed to book the hotel rooms anymore. He keeps booking them with a single Queen size bed to save money.

JD and I will be there again! We really liked the real word demos from the biggest names in trapping today. And the food was out standing! John

John. How did you and JD do this year?

TTT

We sure have had some characters and this year appears to be loaded with more who are planning on being there. With your help, we can make this year the best gathering yet and I'm hoping the picture will be something we can look back on and say I met this great trapper at Minktoberfest. I am inviting you if you can make it to join in a group that truly "digs the well a little deeper so future generations can drink up the knowledge which it has taken lifetimes to gather"

Don, can I be in charge of the 'booking approvals'? Some of these jokers need axed, lol...

Dfabs, seriously man? That sounds like something Morris would do... your better than that buddy... lol

AIX, now that's funny! That fat pine is RIDICULOUS!

Now get back to the topic - Geeeesh, can tell the season is over

Don,please pm the amount and where to send it so i have to go.i'm turning over a new leaf and looking to get out.was lucky enough to find the wife a second job recently.unfortunately her first job was keeping an eye on me.

Not as well as we hoped. 3 mink, 3beaver, 4 rats, and a weasel. In about 3 week time. Work got stupid with over time. 11to 12 hour a day. Plus the hour drive each way, Then Grab JD and run a hour to check traps. Got to be too much on me. But it was worth it. We were both singing Delta Dawn between stops one night at the top of our lungs. John

I sure like that picture of mrHahn34, my daughter and I.

Well sir, any time on the trap line with your son is better than none. Hopefully next year you will have more time
