Keep posting those photos! I wish I had taken more pictures to preserve more memories. In my earlier post I did forget to mention how impressed I was by the patriotism shown by all. It was truly an honor to stand among the greats while a remarkable rendition of the the national anthem was performed and the whole crowd honored our flag while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Thanks again to all.

I’m really glad that I made the trip southwest! Met a whole lot of great people, and made some lifelong friends! There was sure a lot of great knowledge being shared. The event was run wonderfully, and I sure hope it will be a yearly tradition for the Graham family!

I had a great time in Lusk Thanx John and family and everyone responsible for putting on a great event. I know putting them on is allot of work. great demos and banquet.I made it home but truck broke down in Sheridan Wy.And it is still there gotta go back and get it this weekend. Apparantly the spark plug worked its way out on one of the back cylinders. breaking down on Sundays are no fun

Thanks Again, everyone! The praise is very much appreciated, and I've been passing it on to those that deserve it. I've been making some plans and getting some dates worked out. We'll make sure that we're not competing with Sturgis traffic for motels next year. But, the motels in Nebraska appreciated the overflow business, and to have that volume of campers stay in the area was good too. No matter what happens between now and then, one thing remains certain: This is BEEF country, and rib eyes will be the fare at the Saturday night banquet! I've got the crew for that, and they want to come back! Anyway, I'm busy with coyotes so won't be going to many conventions this year. Like Michael Pappas said in his market outlook report, Coyotes are king this year. Good Luck to everyone.

Nothing like attending a convention under the Wyoming sky. Not to mention next to the neat little western town of Lusk.

Thanks for taking the pictures! That bedspread has some special meaning to it. I'd bought a custom log bed made from beaver-chewed trees, and it is truly one of a kind. I wanted to get a bed spread made for Nicole this year, and I was short 8 or so beaver. My buddy that I dedicated Coyote Days to, John Vaia, sent me down 8 to finish it. I'd got them in from Moyles tannery, and talked to him about them the day that he passed away. (He died unexpectedly) I really wanted to get it done, but life got complicated for awhile. I finally sent them to my friend Michael Pappas, and he made the spread and matching pillows just in time to send it with the fur garments he lent me for the fashion show on Saturday night. I surprised her by having our kids, and an extra volunteer or two, to bring it out. She WAS surprised! It all came together, and for that, I am grateful. Thanks again, Tom. I appreciate it.

Cat the guy on the left lives about 3 miles from me and is a heck of a nice guy. I know he's done so much for trapping here in Nevada. Just imagine have to learn to catch cats in the same area a guy like that traps lol

I've had so much response to the round table discussion that I'm planning on having two next year. We did that in Miles City, Montana, for the Western NTA convention years ago. We called it 'Young Guns' , and the 'Old Hands', if I remember right. Both were well received.

We've had so much positive feedback from Coyote Days overall, that I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. To answer the question that we seem to be getting asked the most, YES, we are doing it again next year!

Just got home last night from Coyote Days followed by coyote hunting near Craig Colorado with some old retired ADC friends. What a trip and what a meet! Makes the drive from Kentucky well worth it. God has truly blessed me to be able to attend and learn from such a great group of trappers and hunters. Spending 10 days traveling, learning and hunting with my 83 year old dad was priceless. Thanks John for Coyote Days and thanks to all the demo guys for an excellent job!
