Planning to be there............ pick up where things were left off. Was always a Great Event in the Past.............. Tut

I have been to every one so far and plan on making this one.

This will be my first time attending, can't wait.

This will be my first and i can't wait to go.

Originally was going but a buddy announced he was getting married that weekend. Only been there once but had a great time and met so many awesome people and camping was great in the field. Hope the weather is good and you all enjoy yourselves.

Looking forward to it! Been on my bucket list for awhile.

Told by Son some years ago, if you get married during any trapping seasons,im gonna break your nose.He is getting married September 10th,lol

Can you tell us any decent restaurants in the area???

F.M. , "Be Prepared", I go self contained, as I never expect too find much where ever I go. The past has had a Family doing a simple Food Tent. nothing fancy. Very tasty. Remember everyone still reeling from " C ". Site is a very Rural setting, think "Woodstock". LOL. I love it, as a short timer. Wish I had gone years ago.` Google Maps with research will enlighten you. Worth the trip. 5 Star for Me........Tut

Thats the early fall beaver dispersal when nuisance beaver season picks up considerably here,lol.

Jerry will be there doing a beaver clean skinning demo friday.

If yall trap beaver you should go watch him.

This will be my wife and I first time we will be hauling the camper down Thursday night or early Friday morning. We just got married in June I told her it's our honeymoon! Lol

I'm loading the van
PM Me if you need anything

Candi is going to make this one with me. Getting ready to leave. A trip worth making for sure! Safe travels everyone. Stop in and introduce yourselves if you would.

Spent the day there and had a blast. Just sorry it took this long to go.

It was a good time yesterday and looked like a big crowd.

Just back from there, spent thursday and friday there. Had a great time, saw many, many old friends, enjoyed the demos, think the area is beautiful.Natives are very friendly.Very glad I went. Only complaint I have is there are darn few local restaurants, they are very slow in getting served, and they are all closed by 8:30 P.M. Hats off to Neil Olson for a great show!

Returned Sunday p.m., Great time. did meet the infamous Jerry P. All the cards fell into place....... A job well done by ALL.......... Tut

Jerry,

Did an awesome job with the clean skinning.

First real convention I've ever been to. My wife and I came down from Brownville Maine and had the best time. Well worth the 3 hour drive! We will be making it a yearly adventure and will be bringing our kids next year. Awesome event for all ages weather you trap or not it's a great time!

Did Tucker mention why he was there ?

Neil asked him to come and emcee the childrens fishing contest

ok thanks - figured there was a reason he was there.
