Wondering why NPMA was the name on my registration recipe for the Feb. Wildlife conference.
Any one know? Thought NWCOA was the lead partner in this.

PS. Who is going?

Don, NPMA is bigger and richer than we are. I imagine they can buy the lead. I will actually be speaking at their meeting in Wisconsin this year! See you in Vegas!

I have been to several. Wouldn't miss one again. Not only is the seminar usually the best, but there's always something new to see in Vegas! Between the seminar, the food, and the shows, it's pretty hard to beat!

Anyone know the cost. NWCOA does not even have the event on their schedule of events calendar on their website.

Don't particularly want to create a profile on NPMA's site just to check out pricing.

Judy and I will be at the Tomahawk booth, our first western show. We had done New Orleans and Myrtle Beach, can't remember the order. Nice to get away during the winter months and looking forward to meeting some new people from the other coast.

Can't wait to meet you in real life Jim. Yours traps have pioneered a lot in the adc world. Switching more and more of my equipment over to your brand.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Looking forward to meeting you too! The very positive responses we have received from ADC trappers making a living solving critter issues over the past ten years is the most gratifying part in all this. Still hard to believe that a former fur trapper and his wife who live in a log cabin in the woods have impacted the lives of so many ADC trappers. That is what has made this experience, which surely was not an easy road to take, worthwhile. Can't believe the convention is but a few days away. I was called "type A" personality by a friend once, never satisfied with much of anything unless it was "right." We are always looking to improve. Hope to provide more worthwhile options in the future. We always like to hear success stories, get photos etc. to share with others. We are receptive to suggestions and ideas. Always neat to hear when innovative trappers have come up with ideas well beyond what anyone expected while using traps for unintended animals and in very different ways. We surely have learned a lot from others. Because we are still in the field trapping, we can relate to problems that need solving.

I was there during banquet when they drew for the grand prize. I'm almost positive the person who won was there in room. If its for a different prize package could be. I'd call the official NWCOA phone number and ask you don't have anything to loose. If the number that called you said they need your credit card to file it probably don't believe it lol
