just SOME of the highlights...

Crit R Callin' with Major Boddicker.

also featuring Mr. Slim Pederson, Mr. Russ Carman, Mr. Gerald Schmitt, Red O'Hearn and many other less-well-known, but VERY knowledgeable Trappers!

btw...Mr. O'Hearn's stories (alone!) are worth the price of admission!

also heard a GREAT bobcat/suitcase story that Mr. Charles Dobbins had admitted to being a part of...

Truly a great event. Until you go you will never be able to understand how great of an event this is!!!! And the food - probably most everyone there put on 3 to 5 pounds!!!

Awesome event and it was great to see Candi doing so well.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Dates wouldn't work for me this year. Don has been after me to come for years now, and always something that won't work. This year was the same as the Ks rondy, and I have never missed the state rondy, so was a no brainer. Red O'Hearns wife Cindy and their daughter came to Ks to take up the slack of Red being in Pa! Very glad to hear that Candi is getting along well. Don, I'll keep my fingers crossed for another one!

The best guys keep showing up. Everyone becomes a welcomed part of the group and so many leave with lifelong friendships. Some characters for sure but all of the highest character. Kids seemed to have a great time this year. I see that each year the quality of the people attending attracts more knowledgeable trappers who want to share. Digging the Well Deeper has been a common theme and the days of keeping secrets has disappeared as many of the older guys want to help those less experienced. We all recognize that we have to pass it on or our way of life will soon no longer exist. I thank you for the compliments but if ever there was a group effort it is Minktoberfest.
