Has anyone on here ever been there besides me? I know Nittany Lion has and a couple of others. I here there are some pretty big names in trapping that are going to be there.

A top notch event for sure. I can't imagine the time and effort Don puts into making this a spectacular event.
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.

What would you say is your favorite part? Porter house steaks on Saturday night? Bonfire bull sessions? Demos from the master trappers? Meeting new friends?

I like them all, Larry. Hard to say which is the favorite. I really enjoyed meeting the “real” Punxsutawney Phil and one of his handlers a few years back. Also, learned a few things about groundhogs I didn’t know.

Not this time Linvol. My wife went and had a little boy two weeks ago tomorrow. I was signed up but had to cancel. Don said I had to find a person to fill my shoes but I'm still looking for someone as humble as myself to take my spot. I will even include customized pointers for first timers if someone wants to go. All kidding aside I will sorely miss all of my trapper brothers. Will you be there with Norm? After he shared that tip about the wire screen on the pan I started using it and started calling it '' the Norm''. I miss Bob Best too. Thank you for your friendship. I will be making more trapper events when the little one gets bigger. Fisher Man Larry ''Two Sticks'' is a good man. I can't tell you how many good ideas I learned just talking and visiting with others there. The bon fire bull sessions are a hoot.
