View to my left

No other comments or pictures except for what Paul posted Friday late morning. Intetesting........

I have watched most of the demos and walked through the 3 building's about 6 times and walked the outdoor vendors too and every time I see something new. This is on top of my list for next year. Nysta has done a great job with this show I only dream of our show in NH being half this big.

Attendance yesterday was very high. I'll see if I can get some more pics today. Hard to get away when by yourself.

Was there Fri. Place was packed. Would like to know numbers when over but there must have been over 200 vendors?

A few pictures from just outside my building early this morning. Lots of tailgaters. There are other building also that aren't in the pictures.

I have a sick beagle that needs my attention 24/7 right now, or I'd be there. I'm only 25 miles away. He's my best bud, so It's a small price to pay. Have a good time, everybody.

Thanks for the pictures Paul. If I was there, I'd give you a hand.

walleyed was there all Day Friday.

worked until midnight on Thursday, then drove the 90 Miles down in the dark on empty roads.

Got there at 2:00AM and snoozed in the vehicle until 6:30AM.

Dealer Buildings opened at 8:00AM.

By Noon The Building were Packed with Trappers, and the roadways thru the tailgater's section

were well attended. Every seminar I watched had at Least 50 t0 80 people watching.

Got To Heckle Mark Zagger During His Demo. Met Trapping Rock Star Phil Brown in person and his

Trapline Dog; FRANKIE!!!

Pustin ArseOnMonday was a No-Show.

Bought 20 Belisle #220 Dogs, and a couple Adirondax #330 Bulls-Eye Circle Triggers From WCS,

and picked up a #44 Blake & Lamb Double Long Spring For $20.00 which I left

with Tom Stalker for Numerous Modifications For Beaver Trapping.

Went to The Camp Flat Iron Trapper's Cookout Fundraiser for a couple Hours

and then headed Home.

I thought Friday was at least as well attended as What we Have seen

At the Herkimer Convention for the last Eight years.

Good time was Had By All.

Don't have a clue how I missed you Bob. hung out at the flat iron and witnessed the good graces of fellow traps generously donate to the flat iron meal and auction to raise 3 grand for the kids. A big thanks to Von, Zagger and the whole Flat Iron Gang for another great weekend.

That's great, thanks for posting the pics.

It's good to know that the "party" that was going on most of the night was for a great cause. It was my first time and I was thinking man these ny trappers like to party. But i see now it's all for a good cause.good job guys and keep up the good deeds and hard work.

Terrence your more then welcome to join in next year, you wont go away with a empty belly, and you will me some of the best trappers with the biggest hearts you will ever meet.

Saquelie. Thank you for the invite. It was my first time going to the show and I definitely had more fun than the rest of the family did. The kids didn't want to watch any demos on Friday so the wife was keeping them busy so I could. It was a great experience and I am ready for next year. It was also great to meet the BOSS and he gave the wife a sample of Skeeter pee. Coming from NH the conventions I go to in Maine are good and we are trying to get the NH convention bigger but it's hard to get a crowd to come. There was no shortage of people at this convention. It was a busy place all weekend. I got it sit in on most of the demos and it was great to listen to Dunlap and Harry from f&t and Clint zagger and all the others. We just don't have a draw to get the big names yet so it was an amazing experience. Thank you all for all your hard work dedicated.

Zaggman had to go to the bathroom,for like an hour,so he made me "sit" at his stand.Got to meet the famous muskrat trapper from NY,--Wallyed for the first time.Great time,and good food.

I may attend the Zagman U course next year to get a lure discount

Forget it! When you and I shook hands and had that first awkward hug in your booth as we finalized your first Academy, I decided to buy two shirts and a hat.

Let's say retail on those three items was $45.00.........well, you charged me $45 dollars!

I mean.....we JUST hugged! Then me, you, and Rusty got our pic taken behind your booth by Miss Donna.

I remember the pic as it was the last time I saw that $45.00!!!!!!!!!!

Rusty gave me a shirt and hat......

Sorry, need to charge you the full, non-student amount!!!!!!!!!
