We have had a great team working on this show Brian has been our boots on the ground guy and has worked his but off on this show. There is some vendors that take cards but some don't and if you are looking for used traps have cash. We have tailgaters from all over the east coast so there's gonna be some used traps for sale. For everyone that hasn't been to a Fur Takers show get ready for a overload on trapping information when this thing is over we want people to say I couldn't see it all.


No matter where you go there you are.

Yes dogs are allowed but they have to be on a leash at all times

My opinion, the auction should be held on Saturday. Years ago the VTA always had the auction or Saturday of their convention.

Saturday is always the biggest day of a convention. More people, more money and more, higher bidding. Just looking at it from the standpoint of the FTA and the VTA, the donated items are going to sell higher, the more people that you have interested in buying.

Think about it like this: Selling a donated item is just about as close to free money as it gets. And there are going to be a lot of people there Saturday with a pocket full of money.

What we really need is a "universal" auction time, for all conventions. Something like high-noon Saturday, or 1pm.

You guys that are officers and directors of the different trap associations will agree, the convention auction is one of your biggest fundraisers.

I'll be there Saturday.

I don’t totally disagree with you but..... Although Saturdays generally have the largest attendance. I believe most of the trappers and vendors want to get packed up Saturday afternoon or evening and head for home. Leaving fewer people with interest in staying for the auction. Just my thoughts.
