I went to a Rendezvous there in Herkimer once about 10 years ago, what a great bunch of people.
I thought it was like back in the late 70's fur boom there were so many selling and buying and the demo's were the best. We all had a great time. I'm planning to make it to the MO.Rendezvous this September. Just hanging out with fellow trappers for a few days is food for the soul. Hope you all have a safe and fun time where ever you go.

First time going this year and the family and I are going to be tenting to get on another camping trip

Will be there Fri. and looking for a few beaver footholds.

I'll have some of the NEW WCS pro 7.5 traps with basic mods

Basically same as a CDR

Does anyone know if fires are permitted on grounds ? Just checking to see if I should pack a containment for one. Thanks

Fires must be contained in one of those things that keeps them up off the ground. Can't for the life of me remember what they are called right now. I think technically they want them no less than 18 inches above the ground, as not to harm the grass.

Thank you Dana. I will just leave it all at home so I don't have to worry .

When is the auction?

Auction would be on Friday night. I think it starts about 7 usually. Saturday night is the Chinese auction.

We just got in and settled at about 5 so everything was closed up when we got here but we are having a good dinner and getting ready for tomorrow. I hope to meet some new people and learn lots.

I'll be there tomorrow from 10-5
