Does everyone have a name tag …with their Trapperman handle ?…lol Nope... Just me. I still had mine from 2013, (of course, I had created them). It was a bit of chore for me at times, with my almost wore out body, but did get to meet a few people from this site. Some I had met before, and some for the first time. It took less time to get there that I had expected. So less time on road meant more time to chat and visit. Let me see if I can remember everyone that I saw and talked with, now don't be offended if I don't get your name on here: Paul "the Boss", was quite accommodating and provided chairs for 2 old men to sit and chat with him. That is always a pleasure. Then spent some time talking with "Rev Mark", Mark June, he is a great host and very enlightening. Met "SniperB", West River Rogue (Steve and his son, "Computer Hater" Randy, Talked with Jon Hughes from OSTA and informed him that we are cousins. Jon doesn't use computers, but got his contact info so can spend some time later filling him in on our family connection and some of his historical family's past, which he has never been enlightened. Spent quite a bit of time sitting talking with Mark Steck of Dakota Line exchanging ideas and info. Mark holds the publishing rights to my "Muskrats" book. Spent some time with Shawn and the others at F & T, gathering up my order. Chatted briefly with "Ack" Tim Ackerman, complimenting him and his crew for the AWESOME Job they did creating the Demo Venue. The best I have ever seen. I also talked with Mike Wilhite from Trappers Post magazine, Mitch Cox of Fur, Fish and Game, and Chris from Trapper magazine. There are a couple more that I can't remember their name or handles, and I apologize for that. The day was beautiful, the trip was easy. The time I spent there was very rewarding. My special thanks goes out to Fred Pryor, my friend, for being my driver to get me there and home. Although Fred is not a trapper he enjoys learning about many different things and I have been showing him "the ways of the trapper and trapping". Have fun and God Bless... Garry-

I've been to two NTA conventions; one in Harrisburg PA and the other in Owatonna MN. Really enjoyed both of them.
I really wish they weren't all so far away, and I also wish the NTA conventions weren't located where it is so hot and humid. I've spent the last six week in 45-55 degree temps and low humidity. High temps and humidity about kill me.
Happy to hear you guys are having a good time.

Present for the duration at the host hotel where the NTA Board Meeting is already underway. I am not involved in the meeting so I plan to swing by the fairgrounds after while and see if there is anything an old fart can do to help. Not sure why my earlier reply was removed. I guess I’ll re phrase it. More people need to be involved with the meetings and the NTA leadership. Period. End of story.

Happy to hear you guys are having a good time. Plan to come to next years NTA National Convention in Escanaba MI. July 27-29. “The Last Alaskans” are going to be there. The host hotel is the Island Resort and Casino. Plan to make a vacation out of it. Go fishing, golfing or just exploring. Be prepared, the air is clean and the people are friendly!
