Ontario Fur Managers Convention 2022 is happening August 26 and 27 at the Bobby Orr Community center in Parry Sound, Ontario.

As president of the Georgian Bay Trappers Council who are hosting the event I would like to invite all to attend.

We are still in need of vendors and donations for auctions.

This event is how the OFMF makes a great deal of its annual money, so please do what you can to help us promote trapping in Ontario and the world.

Pm me if you would like a booth, or to donate.


Hope to see everyone there!

Jesse Hutchinson
President
Georgian Bay Trappers Council

Be nice to see some of our T-man friends attend-Hutchy will show you a few good fishing holes if you come on up.

He promised, I agreed to nothing! grin

But seriously, should be a great time. I'd make a solid weekend of it...book a cruise on the island queen and cruise the 30,000 Islands. So beautiful, highly recommended.

I would love to go and set up a booth, but I don't think they'd allow me to cross the border with a bunch of lures. It would be nice to attend the MI convention the weekend before then drive over there. It would be tight, because the following weekend will be the NY convention, then the WI convention, then the GA convention, then NC convention, all back to back.

Could you ship the lures in ahead of time?

Paul Dobbins just do-it and get it off your retirement bucket list.
I'm sure Hutchy can find you a seat,,,,,on a boat.....and a fishing line or two,,,,,
you can test market your Skeeter pee against those Ontario winged warriors they call mosquitoes
getting across the boarder with a van full would be a problem

I don't think I can legally ship them there either.

I don't know, I'm just going by what my friend Jack from St. Marys, Ontario told me. Jack has since passed. Is there some sort of tax that would have to be paid for items sold up there if I were to make the trip?

park your van and rent a unlimited car mileage and just do a road trip;
Green card problems with work.is what you are faced with
One of you Canadian suppliers must have a booth set up there ? You could sit in....
problem is you could only bring a gallon of Skeeter pee across the line
You are allowed 800$ of personal gifts to bring across with you
but only 50$ triggers a GST duty tax when mailed up

a day in the boat with Hutchy should be on your bucket list
