Message from Rusty:

Hello fellow ITA members,
We are closing in on our 8th annual ITA/FBU banquet. If you haven't been before it is a ton of fun. Last year 9 guns walked out of the door! We have door prizes (3 guns given away at the door) games to play, giveaways to the kids, silent auction, live auction and guest speakers! We have a tanned buffalo hide, tanned wolf hides, pheasant hunts, elk hunts (including a cow tag), traps, lure, prints, ladies items, and a great dinner and cocktails. Miss Rodeo 2020 will be there along with the governor and prominent fish and game personnel. I have people coming from Colorado, Nevada and Oregon. It is a blast. We are still looking for gun sponsors, donations, and ticket sales. If you are going to come we need to know NOW. I am ordering food and wanting to make sure we have enough food. You can mail me money and I'll mail you tickets or go on website and pay with a card.

Thanks

Rusty this sounds like a great time one of these days I hope to make it over there for one of these events, I hope my donated snares bring some serious money for the association remember to take a bunch of pictures for those of us who can't attend.

I got to be there last year,definitely a first class event

Update: Banquet went really well Big kudos to Rusty, Keisha (FBU) and crew. Well organized and well attended. Over 200-ish I heard which is pretty good considering time of year (archery season) and location. A lot of guys made the trek down from north Idaho which was cool to see. Gov's office was there, a lot of state legislators, as well IDFG staff/commish and other orgs like the cattlemen's association and farm bureau. We're fortunate to have the support we do here in ID.

Allan - your snares were gorgeous! I was running a game all night and didn't even get a chance to see what the silent auction items brought. Seems like folks were spending pretty freely though. Some big ticket items at the live auction.

Mods - Thanks for the front page sticky here on the trapper talk.

Good deal I'm glad I could help it's to bad it was this weekend but that's just how things sometimes are .
I spoke with Rusty and Vickie both about a booth space for next year's Western I'll bring my knife sharpening machine as well as some snares and snare supports along with what ever else I can fit into the pickup.
