I hope Don makes a DVD of that story.
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.

Fisher Man, it was good meeting and talking to you. I was wondering what happened to you as I wanted to talk a bit more Saturday evening.

I think Paul Dobbins would have been honored with the many stories about his dad as were shared by Mark Kohler. Charlie Dobbins had a special place in the hearts of many and for sure with Mark.

Paul Dobbins would make an awesome addition to Minktoberfest.

It was a great time had by all . Boddickers stories were great , Red O'hearn is always entertaining . He needs to do stand up in a Cornfield Comedy Club ! Don & Candi put on the best trappers event you could ever come too. The Food , is excellant . I agree , Paul Dobbins needs to attend next year .
Fur Trapping ; Its not about making Money, Its All about the Adventures you'll have on the Trapline .

Colorful personalities all willing to share. Perhaps we all appreciated guys like Charles Dobbins, Kermit Stearns, Blackie and so many more that were willing to tell us their methods and techniques. Each year more come and more give. I appreciate the thank yous but it is me that should continue to thank everyone who attends conventions, contributes to forums like this and does demos from local to national stages. Thank you to the Trapperman site that is a great way to educate people everyday and thanks to everyone that ever made the trip to our camp.

It was one for the books for sure. It was nice to finally meet you Jim! Mark, I too liked the story about the beaver. I think he said his favorite food was oreo cookies. Glad to meet you. The time around the campfire after dinner was priceless. There were lots of stories - too many to remember. Mark Kohler has to be there next year again to tell the one about Charlie Dobbins and the bobcat in the suitcase. Red told some good ones. I'm going to always remember standing on top of a hill listening to Major's Critr Call echoing over the valleys in the moon lite. What a perfect night. We heard several coyotes answer his calling. He sounds just like a coyote. Dean - I was fascinated by the bear stories and the pictures you showed us. I think i remember you from the middle 80's in Goodfield IL with Ludy Sheda? Thanks a million Don. You have given us something we can never repay. Thanks you to you and Candi for making us all feel at home. It was good to see you both.
Just passin through

I've received much more than we have given. One of our distinguished guests called yesterday saying that he planned on coming back next year. He said the difference he recognized was something he'd only seen in higher education. He called it "Peer Teaching"- That is when I understood the difference that we had stumbled upon. Minktoberfest has the best of the best sharing information with the best of the best. Peers sharing with Peers instead of Teachers lecturing to students. Some of the industry names that have already committed to next year promise to make 2020 pretty special. THere is no doubt I will never be able to repay that which has been given to me.
