Good to meet you and your dad.

Really wanted to attend but had prior commitments. Will make every effort to be there next year. What a great idea John.

Ditto's from John and Brandy from OR. Good pizza too.

hats off to Roc Lee doing his demo in honor of John Vaia

John. Hats off to you and the family. I've known john a long time when he was running conventions.. He would bring his family. His kids and my kids were the same age. It was like a family reunion. See you next year. John

Big thanks for putting those photo's together!!

I know I'm a tad late posting in this thread, but it was a good time. I didn't realize there were so many Tman members in attendance. The demo list and sharing of info was pretty incredible. Had to work pretty late on Friday so I missed the round table discussions. I'll be in attendance for both days next year.
Well done Graham.

Thanks for putting the photos on, Tom! I was too busy to watch more than a few minutes of any demo, and next year we'll video them all!

Matt Buche, That would be great to see you again!

You are welcome BG10, see you next year.

I have to say, we've had so many compliments and kind words in the form of cards, phone calls and messages, etc.

I had help putting it all together, and everyone was very pleased with the reception that Coyote Days received.

Again, Thanks to all.

Well, We've had (actually Nicole has, since I'm never home) so many calls, emails, and messages about next year's Coyote Days, that I thought I had better post a few things. I'll put some rumors to rest in the meantime. YES, we are hosting Coyote Days in 2020. The Niobrara Co.Fairgrounds are already booked for Fri/Sat August 21st & 22nd.

NO, we aren't affiliated with any other organization. This event is planned, organized, funded, executed and ran by myself, my family, and some very dedicated friends. Our goal is to get serious coyote producers and like-minded people together for a weekend of the year. Anyone that attended this year will tell you that we did exactly that. 2020 will be even better.

We've moved it to a later date, to work around the dates for the Sturgis rally, which takes up a lot of the motel rooms in the region. And, the later the better for a lot of our participants, which are also ranchers and farmers.

We are going to do a few things in addition to our already full schedule, but let it suffice for now that we will have 20 demos next year, including one or two geared specifically for kids (up to 18) that will be done by successful kids. I can't see a better way for kids to learn than by seeing the methods and thoughts of someone their age. If you are looking for somewhere to take your young trapper, this might be the ticket.

I'm working on another star-studded list of demo presenters. It will be worth the trip, rest assured.

I know that it's still 11 months away, but I honestly never anticipated the response we've received. We'll post more as needed!

Coyotes are king this year, and I hope everyone is successful. We have to make hay while the sun shines.

Good Luck, John
