The doors to main building we use at south end of fairgrounds will open at 6 a.m. for breakfast, but the event starts officially at 7:45, a.m. with honoring the flag and a live ‘Star Spangled Banner’ sung by a local girl that has been starting us off for years now.

After that, I do a quick introduction, and the demos start at 8 a.m., and continue on for the rest of the day

Each demo starts at the top of the hour both days

Texas? Thanks for making the long trip!

I hope it’ll be at least a little cooler in Wyoming for

The demos line up is a great one again, and the presenters will be sharing a pile of hard earned knowledge !

From fur harvesting to predator control, there isn’t a better place to learn and share

Fort Laramie, The Black Hills, Fort Robinson, Ne., The Museum of the Fur Trade, and a lot more can be experienced coming and going for a lot of folks

Like all trapper ‘get togethers’, Coyote Days is a great place to meet and visit with like minded individuals that share our love for trapping and the outdoors. Trust me when I say that the knowledge and experience represented here is unparalleled

$20 buys you access to 100’s of years of knowledge, and it’s not the kind that can be learned from YouTube videos!

Coyote Days 2025

August 15-16 at Niobrara Co. Fairgrounds in Lusk WY.

Thanks everyone, have a great Sunday

Last ye

Last year Demos started at 8 AM. A young lady with a beautiful voice sang the National Anthem a few minutes before it started.

Exactly one month to Coyote Days. Time is going by fast.

Yes, we have the same girl coming to sing, and she does a great job

We have another option close by with trailer hookups. It’s literally right out the front gate and a block to the NW across highway. Probably a 3 minute walk to main building and demo area
14-307 CAMPING. (307) 315-5753

Yes, we’re a month away

Lots of new people coming!

I’ll add in more in a day or two

Thanks, John

I’ve mentioned this earlier, but it’s worthy of mentioning again… Coyote Days 2025 is dedicated to our close family friend, Tom Pindell, from Wheatland WY.

Tom is possibly better known as ‘CATTRAX’ by many people.
He passed away after suffering a stroke while elk hunting last fall.

Tom was so many things to many people, and the list is long. He was a main planner, helper, consultant, and friend that was a main reason Coyote Days even happened in the first place.

He is missed…..

But, we’ll honor him in great fashion this year’s Coyote Days

We’re 4 weekends away now, and about this time on Sunday we are all cleaned up, stuff put away, the demo area is cleared of rocks, logs, branches, sage, and all the stuff demo presenters bring and possibly leave behind

Things are really coming together, and I’ll be putting the final demo list and times together in next 10 days or so.

To make it clear, there isn’t a ‘best day’ to come for demos at Coyote Days!

We have hourly demos, and the action doesn’t stop

No fillers

There’s good food at the concessions in main building, and a person can run in and grab a quick bite and still take in the next demo

We’ll have the bobcat round table at 5 pm on Friday evening, and the Canine round table at about 7:30 pm
That will give people a chance to go eat supper in between

We have options on open field, an open air pavilion, and a Quonset building to have demo’s in

Weather will not affect us!

One more thing, we’re hearing more and more from guys that are bringing a friend or two this year.
That is great, and we’re glad to hear it!

We’ll have some great raffle items, and we only sell tickets for them at Coyote Days, so all winners WILL be an attendee!

Remember, on August 15-16 all tracks lead to Coyote Days in Lusk WY

Get your motel rooms reserved now, or book you spaces at camping areas

Yes, there are 11 electric hookups on the grounds, and there are showers and bathrooms there too

Whatever you prefer, there is an option for you

I’m ordering the steak loins for the crew to cut for the Saturday night banquet this week!
While some of us are at round tables, the behind the scenes helpers that help put the event on every year is doing what it takes to keep things rolling as smooth as possible

It’s all coming together, and again, there is lots to see and visit coming and going

Families are welcome!

Have a great Sunday,

John

We are looking forward to attending this year. Thanks for the update, John.

Tom was a good friend and a great photographer.

John I know of at least 8 that are from MN that are coming, four of those are new attendees.

Mike Halonen 's beaver demo is a can't miss. Don't let him fool ya though, I think his wife is a better trapper.

I and my friend Bob will be attending.
