Forgot one. Got to see Morgan Bennett do a Beaver and Muskrat skinning demo at the Bland convention several years ago. Was the quickest and smoothest I've ever seen anyone skin a Beaver or Muskrat before.

Craig O'Gorman putting on a demo at the first NEFH convention in 1973 in Davey, NE. As a 13 year old kid then, I was amazed by the fur he had put up over the years. He was very helpful to me and spent time with me answering all my rookie questions.

Seen Tom Tyree -fur handling demo at the Tennessee convention once I thought it was one of the best I’ve seen . Is Tom still around ? On the way home that day my wife asked me how does he skin and put up an animal so clean and you look like the Texas chainsaw massacre putting something up .

To me he was one of the best snare men to have lived.

He is still alive, gonna go visit him soon.

Maybe not the best, but the funniest was Mark Jagger and Phil Brown ribbing each other during a fox trapping demo.


Eh...wot?

I went to a Paul Trepis demo of wolf snaring and trapping one time. He had a foot hold snare on a spring. The spring took off on him flew up hit the roof and came down and whacked one of the attendees. Paul said he does not sell or endorse that product. But it was a really good presentation other than that. Making and using Sennecker wolf snares and leg hold traps.

Minktoberfest is outstanding for demos. The guys and the knowledge is probably like Coyote Days- never been to Coyote Days but I have been to Minktoberfest. It's first class. There are so many demos I couldn't even try to name them all. I did like the Zagger pee bottle trick though. One year Mark did that and a kid in the audience said '' you're not right'' Everyone was rolling.
