Like many on here, as fall approaches I can't help but feel a little blue about all the canceled conventions, especially the WTA/FTA event in Marshfield. For me the convention was an opportunity to shop around and spread my money to multiple vendors I wouldn't normally shop at due to shipping costs. I also enjoyed catching up with other trappers over a great Tman feed or around a campfire.

To add insult to injury I just drove past a flea market that rivals the WTA in numbers of both vendors and attendees just a couple counties away from where WTA would've been. And 2 weeks after the canceled WTA event is a 5-day fair food event on the very same grounds WTA been.

Sob story over. Gonna go out in the woods and try to forget it all.

Have you tried shooting stuff, making big fires out in the back yard, or lipping off on trapperman?

We have a little get together here in Virginia called the Bland Convention that will fix you right up if you don't believe me just ask the boss. It's not in the north or the south just nestled in a valley between two mountains of fall colors. We'll feed yah provide some foot stomping bluegrass music and all the fun you can stand.


No matter where you go there you are.
