Not a knock on either but I’d be surprised if there was 300 through the door at either one and there will probably be a fair number of the same people at both. The last few times I attended both I thought Kansas was a little stronger. While there is a fair number of cats in both states the quality is poor for most so not a strong draw, Lots of coyotes but coon is still king in this country and with the crummy market trappers numbers and interest has taken a hit

No doubt Marathon. I predict in the next few years, maybe several years we will see either complete trapping bans or at minimum extreme restrictions in New Mexico, Nevada and most likely the first loss will occur in Colorado. I feel like what is happening in some Western States is a symptom of Trump derrangment syndrome. The Libs are so frustrated that in the states where they have power they are just stomping up and down on anything conservative and trapping is an easy get. It's just so much deeper than trapping though.
My analogy would be one of these desert springs/developed cattle waters. For 20 plus years the BLM, Federal govt, protectionists have run all the cattlemen off, ended mining, closed roads, created wilderness etc. etc. They have run all the user groups that used to care for the desert away. So the waters that used to be kept open and operating are now abandoned and miles behind road closures. They used to be teaming with wildlife. Now all the biodiversity is just gone. Nothing lives there anymore. No quail, chukar, deer, sheep nothing. If you counted the tens of millions of insects, reptiles etc. the amount of death caused by "saving" it would be staggering.
I feel like this is what is happening to society through liberalism.
Associations are important but voting is paramount. I just wish there was someway to fix states like CA, AZ, CO, NV where the large cities have so much representation that they control everything.
My depressive rant for the day,

Will be going to both. Have made the Ne rondy for years, and have never missed a Ks one. What your analogy of liberalism is spot on, Mercer. I am looking forward to meeting you and we can kick the disease under the bus for a few days at least! Maybe figure out a way to save the country and the world! Drive safe! This sounds like a great conversation. Care if I join in?
