Trapping rendezvous

Do many of you ADC trappers find much enjoyment/interest in attending trapping rendezvous put on by state or national trapping organizations? I notice that while the focus there is on fur trapping, there's a lot of tips and tricks to be gained that can benefit all trappers. Plus I think it's good to support those organizations that are fighting to protect and enhance trapping in general.

I went to my first one last year was a blast. I'm a Trapper first then got into the ADC field after few years. I picked up quite a bit and last year talked to half dozen or so other ADC guys from my same state. They offered a lot of tips and tricks/advice and I've kept in contact with few of the with no worries about me stepping over their customers since I'm so far away from them. Helped me a bunch especially with them knowing same climate that I have to deal with for our animals and what to expect.

never too old to learn!...…..let alone buying gear and not paying shipping...…...and getting faces to go with names....and support your state assn.

I hope to see all of you in Las Vegas February 4th - 6th for the NWCOA seminar. After that is the Wisconsin Pest Association Convention on February 11th and 12th at the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. I will be speaking at that one. The following day is the Wisconsin Wildlife Control Operator's Association convention at the same place! We're usually too busy to attend the Wisconsin Trapper's Association convention, but I joined it from the start and am a lifetime member! I am very proud of all of our associations!

After 26 years a WCO yes. I'll be at Neil Olson's New England Trappers Weekend Aug. 16 &17th. Then Las Vegas in Feb. Plus others along the way. Old friends, new friends to meet and much more.
