Hope to see everyone there!!

Thanks, Todd

It’s going to be a great one, folks!

Don’t delay to get motel rooms, I know the attendance is going to be up this year, and the rooms will be in demand

4 months will fly by!

Phil and Zagger are going to be in the house?

Oh boy. It's going to a stomping good time

Dang it! Had I known earlier I would’ve changed my plan a bit. First I’m heading to Albertas, then hitting Minnesotas the weekend before the Wolfer Summit in Idaho. I’d have to book over a month off!…..lol. Plus all my vacation will depend on how bad fire season will be.

Looks like a good line up this year. Has Craig O’gorman ever been asked to do a demo or speak at this event? Seems that would be appropriate with all his contributions to Coyote trapping/ ADC work.

Craig rarely does conventions. He was at one in Nebraska last year, or at least that was his plan.

Looking forward to it John. We plan to stay for the dinner this year.

It's a great time folks, lots to learn and folks to get to know.
Good time to buy some trapping supplies too.

Now all we need is a truckload of walleye!!!

There are actually a couple of lakes pretty near to Lusk with great walleye fishing if anyone drags a boat over.

Great to hear Pam, looking forward to seeing you guys.

Yes, Glendo Reservoir is about an hour away from Lusk, and is a popular walleye lake

With the ‘cat market the way it is, and the demo lineup and the group of trappers that gather at this event, Coyote Days is without a doubt THE place to be to learn and be prepared for next season !

All the bases of Coyote and ‘Cat harvesting are covered from A-Z

We’ll have 2 carcass bobcats skinned, fleshed, and stretched from start to finish, one each day.

The Friday night roundtable will be a great one again, as all of the demo presenters are invited to participate. This alone is worth the drive to Wyoming

August 14-15, Lusk WY

If zagger tries to give me a hug it's going to be game on.

Gotta practice evading the long arm marine as well

Tracy it will be good to meet up again. Are you bringing Mrs. Truman again?

She probably will. She actually had a great time last year. Everyone was so nice to her . . . and she loves walleye. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I guess I will drag Ma along again! She had so much fun last year showing off her Bobcat Vest at the fur show.

Looking forward to it!

Hey, that’s great Shannon!

Anyone that wants to bring their fur garment or accessories are sure welcome to bring them and wear them in the fur fashion show at the Saturday night banquet!

We have a new blue mink jacket, a red fox shawl, and a jet black full length mink coat to add to the lineup this year too

Ok, I’ve already had a few people ask for the exact list of demo times, and we’re still months away …

I simply haven’t taken the time to sit down and put everything in order, but I will soon. I can honestly say there is no ‘best day’.

I do know that if you are planning on attending, you owe it to yourself to come for both days, as they will be packed with great demos, and you’ll want to take in as many as possible !

With some of the very best ‘cat trappers in the country coming to Coyotes Days, once again, it is only good business for anyone interested in ‘cats to come and listen and learn.

I can tell you for a fact that there were several trappers that doubled and even tripled their ‘cat catches last year, after attending Coyote Days the last few years

There is a lot of planning and consideration that goes in to pulling this event off, so take advantage of it!

Start making plans today

Have a great day

John

If anyone is considering going I'd recommend making hotel reservations early

I know of a dozen guys from MN whole said they are coming. With the cat market, marten and skunk market the way it is I expect turnout to be big. I see the possibility of the coyote market increasing on the June sale as well. That happens and it could be the biggest coyote days to date

It will be good to see you and Angie again Shannon. If you aren't busy I'll give you a job at the Friday night feast lol.

See you guys at Camp Cattrax.

Steven is right, don’t put off getting a motel room reserved if you need one!

We’ve had a LOT of people already tell us they had friends that were first time attendees coming

The demo line up is getting people excited, and we’re getting inquired daily

It’ll be here before we know it

As usual, if you want boards. Pre orders are appreciated. Otis 970-812-7473

(This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) good looking lineup. Wish I could make it.

I just heard from a buddy of mine in Wyoming that Otis Latham (ColoradoCat) is making a ‘medium sized ‘cat stretcher now too, and he’d already called Otis and ordered some, along with the small and large ‘cat stretchers as well

Monte Poole from Kansas is bringing some of his slide drivers also, and I can personally give them my endorsement, after pounding in over 500 Wolf Fangs with them since last August after I’d bought one from him at Coyote Days. I have 3 now, including a 68” model that I use standing up. Total game changer! I ordered another one, and not because I’m worried about breaking one, but because I use pickups and a side by side and a 4 wheeler to trap out of throughout the year, and spares are just good business

I’ll see if he wants me to post his number, but until then, I’ll send it via PM if amyone is interested

I haven’t checked lately, but I was told that at least 2 of the motels are full, and rooms are going fast. Just a reminder to get a room NOW, as we’re 3 months away and things are happening very fast since the demo list was posted a while back

All conventions are a great deal, and I’ve attended about 180 of them over the years

But, I know for a fact that there is NO where else that there is a concentration and assembly of some of the most successful and knowledgeable trappers, period

There will be attendees that show up to visit and learn and share that are world class also, and it is truly history making every year

Plan to be a part of it

Coyote Days, Aug 14-15 2026

Lusk, WY

Thanks, John

Ok folks, we’re only a little over 2 months away from Coyote Days 2026!

Things are coming together nicely, and we’ve got things coming in every week for raffle items, door prizes, and promotional items

We have a few more garments for the fur fashion show at the Saturday night banquet, and this year’s will be a great one again

The demo list is solid, and we will cover every phase of Coyote & Bobcat harvesting and also a Marten demo!

Again, there’s unlimited primitive camping on the fairgrounds, with a shower and bathrooms close by, but the NO FIRES ban is county wide again this year

Coyote Days is a family friendly event, and we encourage folks to bring their kids
Lusk has a very nice public pool, and I know some people use it every year when they come

For new attendees, try to visit the Museum of the Fur Trade in Chadron, Nebraska, which is about an hour and a half east. It’s truly a great place to visit.

Fort Robinson at Crawford Nebraska is a must see too

Fort Laramie is about 50 minutes SW of Lusk, and is good stop too

I’ve been asked about fishing again, and all I can report is that there isn’t any fishing close by to Lusk, and Glendo Reservoir being the closest

There is plenty of fishing coming and going though

The main focus of Coyote Days is the world class DEMOS, and the chance to visit with lots of like minded people from all over the country, and many don’t attend any other event on a yearly basis.

With the ‘Cat fur market and the predator control industry always expanding, there is NO where else a person can go to keep up on things.

If your serious about taking advantage of the current markets, plan on attending this great event, you won’t be sorry
