In less than 2 weeks, all roads lead to the Wyoming State Trappers Assoc. Convention, in Lusk, WY.- August 24-25
We have 13 demos, Starting with a Wolf Trapping Demo by a WS Trapper and ending with Skinning/fleshing/drumming/stretching a 'cat (And probably glanding it too) We'll have calling demos, trapping Demos, and snaring demos. The best of the best.
And, some of the biggest players in the western fur business will be there too.
Vendors will carry everything from top end basswood stretchers to fur blankets to new traps.
There'll be 2 gun raffles, a custom made beaver-chewed log bed auctioned, and a pile of good items raffled and auctioned.
If you are serious about trapping and harvesting Coyotes and 'Cats this coming season, I encourage you to come to Lusk, WY., August 24-25, which is right around the corner!
Thanks

John and the WY crew put on a top notch convention. I'd also recommend sticking around for the Saturday evening banquet and fur show. It's worth the price of admission just to watch Bill knock down two 20 oz. ribeyes.

Otis, Those are, in my limited experience, great looking Corn Hole Boards! At the risk of making an assumption, they look pretty 'fast'
Steve, I'm glad that you are making the trip from Minnesota again!
Things are coming together nicely. The weather looks good for that weekend, at least at this time. (80's for a high)
We are moving the demo area, for various reasons, but mainly to cut down on the distraction of vehicle noise.
I also have 2 Porta-Pottis coming, and they'll be in general vicinity of the demo spot.
Friday will kick-off at Noon, and the first demo will be at 3 P.M.
We will start serving breakfast Saturday morning at 7 a.m. (Biscuits & Gravy) Coffee will be on before that. The first demo will start at 8 a.m. (Les Johnson)
There is plenty of tent camping on the north end of the fairgrounds (free) Camper hookups are limited, and are $15 for both days.
If you don't need a hookup, it is free.
And Tracy, I'm not sure about your glove deal, but I'll remind both of you!

He needs gloves from Greg. I told him to remind me while I was up there, but someone has to remind him he needs gloves. This getting old stuff is such a hoot.

Over 300 folks from at least 14 different states witnessed 13, hour long demos in 13 hours from the best of the best that could be herded into the wonderful town of Lusk. Trapping, shooting, snaring, calling, decoy dogs, fur put up, care of carcasses. All demos where full of inquisitive souls looking to improve for the coming season. Topped of Saturday night with steak and potatoes, followed by a fur fashion show compleate with some of Mr Pappas'belly cat jackets, awards, scholarships, raffles and a fantastic auction. MANY MANY thanks for the invite and hospitality! The Venue Demo line up Some of the greats Snare legend Keith Gregerson Working the crowd. Tom Krause Les Johnson Major Boddicker The Host and his wife Nicole Bill Ilchik showing the big iron Let you folks absorb that and I'll get more up after a bit!
