Mike! How are you my Cajun! Still remember you getting accosted by the waitress at the catfish parlor for ordering un-sweetened tea..."Are you lookin' out for your girlish figure, or you from the Noath?"

Got a lure that worked for you but no label? Some traps you never set since bought them ? Send em on so they can put them to work.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

I was one of the veterans that attended last year. It was a life changer for me. I used to trap in high school, running about a 100 sets and was thinking of getting a trap or two just for fun. Out of the blue I got a call and was asked if I wanted to attend a trapping "class" for a couple of days. I told them I couldn't afford to buy gear at that time, and I was told it was all provided. I didn't think it was going to be anything special, but I attended anyway. Mr. Cletus and Terry not only gave me one on one instruction on trapping, but changed my entire attidtude towards life. I had "checked out" and was just going through the motions of day to day life dealing with combat injuries and wounds from being wounded mulitiple times. They fired me up and I had enough gear to get started.
Now I'm running a trapline, a life member of the Louisiana Trappers and Alligator Hunters Association, teach trapping and having the BEST time of my life! I have lost weight, spend my days outside, and have a great outlook on life.
In Febuary I will be helping with this event, paying forward for what Mr. Cletus and Terry have done for me.
