You aren't that far , are you ? Bring some tradin' traps. I'm bringing a 10 year old neighbor kid along, I think. The only thing he thinks about is trapping and football. He told me yesterday he had $25 saved up to spend on traps, lol.

I will make a quick stop just to pay Dale for his overpriced trap. Evidently it has some sentimental value to him.

Borgy,make a road trip.The Spang hall can't be beat-nice facility and the price is right. Also a beautiful area. No matter where an event is held,its a long drive for some. Tom

Dang, I don't know my Finnspeak, what halal ?
I eat canned venison sammiches just to clean the castor off my fingers.
Tom, I'm receiving a donation of traps for the kids that are there, We'll figure out a way to disperse them.

No ice cream. I'm pretty sure Les would let you chew on some beaver castor or an oil sack or two. Tom

Is there an ice cream vendor on the grounds? As cool as it has been ice cream doesn’t even sound good.

Tom I have $5 that says he can clean skin one while eating a ham sandwich! I have $10 that says Boggy can clean skin with one hand, smoking a cigarette, drinking a thermos of coffee, and talking to Trapper Les at the same time. Now, there is no specified time limit on this.... right? Zim

There were a couple last year. I didn't see where it wasn't allowed. I made up half of that couple last year and it was advertised on that flyer. Don't see anything about it on this years flyer. And I already promised to hand deliver a special trap to a member on here. So was thinking about loading up some more.

Had a good time. Demos were great. Found out Trapper Les knows more about sharpening knives than anyone I have ever met. He is also, second to many, at clean skinning beaver. It was great to meet some new folks and see some old friends.

Is this something goes on every year? Never heard of this until last week on this forum. Not real close drive but might have gone if known earlier. x2
