I will be there Friday with the two oldest kids.

I’m on the hunt for a dozen used mb 750s to add to the beaver line this fall. If anyone has any they want to sell and would want to meet up at the convention let me know

I'll be there.

Tom, sorry to hear about your wife. I'll miss jawing with you.

Look forward to meeting you in person, Sam.

Same to you Woodsloafer. I put your trap in the pickup today, so I can't forget it now.

I'll be showing up Friday, its my first time since I'm a new trapper .

You're going to have fun. Make sure you check out some demos, there is a lot of knowledge to be had for free. I'll be walking around with a couple young kids, probably wearing bibs, big guy with a short scruffy beard. If you see me come say hi, and if you have any questions, I can try to answer them for you.

You’ve got a lot of trappers around that can really stack up the fur. The MN convention is huge. Some good deals on used gear too, they’ll help you out.

The President and I didn't see eye to eye a few years back so I surrendered my life membership and severed all ties with the MTA. End of story and I will show my support elsewhere.

I plan to be there on Thursday to see the sights and do some shopping and "BS" ing with old acquaintances.

Thursday?

The cool kids have to work on Thursday lol.

Weather looks good. Mid 70s and lows in the 50s.

My plan is gone tomorrow by one or so. If it is not too hot, I may try to tailgate.

Without the MTA I doubt we would still be trapping the way we do.

We haven't lost anything on these 55 years I've been breathing air. We have had more than a few advances

That is solely attributed to the work done by the MTA. Cant be spun any other way.

Thanks to those who do the lifting

Gabby it will be good to see you.

160user. Like my wife tells me constantly, a person has to forgive and forget.

To all we have not seen in some time enjoy the convention and have a good time, so, HI!! to all of you.

Gabby, you know I have always respected you and appreciate your input. I gave him several chances to correct things and he didn't take them. I sure do miss the old days of the MTA.

Why don't you enlighten everyone what those "things" were

Keep in mind some of us were in the vicinity

Your elected official should be able to enlighten you and I would assume, produce the email between us. I kept mine I know. I will not tolerate being treated that way by anyone.

What precipitated the email?

I think if your going to run down an organization on an open channel the spectators should know the circumstances

That isn't running an organization down, that is answering the original question of why I no longer attend.

It's your party you can cry if you want to.

I will leave it be until after the convention to no not get this thread cancelled.

The only thing I miss about the old days other than higher attendance is camp furshed. Dusty and the gang had a lot of fun.
