Yes. I have some.  I know Butch and Ted are selling traps. There will no doubt be some in the auction too.

[ElmerFudd]

Thank you sir for your rapid response. I am very excited. Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

[Machias]

Have a great Rondy, wish I could be there!!

[rasbo]

Trappers rondy was a great time,I learned some awesome new tricks for cats,the wealth of knowledge here is awesome.A huge thanks to all that put in so much time for this rondy and for fighting for trappers at state levels..There were many highlights,but one I cherished the most was listening to Diane Worth speak of a trap line in Alaska she and a friend worked.
    Now Im not a lucky guy but yesterday the luck rolled my way.My tickets were drawn for a rock polisher,an awesome trap made by humptulips,Oh and a brand new bull barreled .17 HMR with a 3x9 bushnell on it ,Im still pinching myself...Happy birthday to fatslinger..

[fatslinger]

Thanks Rasbo, it was a fun birthday. Got to spend the weekend with some of my favorite people. Cake, prizes (I won a lot of cool stuff), "the" song, just no birthday spankings!?!
For anybody who couldn't make it, this was one of the very best Rendezvous I have ever attended. The demos were great, always something to see or hear. It amazes me to see how trappers are willing to share tips and trapping secrets with others. Guess that's what sets us apart. The food gets better and better every year. And so many nice prizes to win in the different  raffles. There were several new faces (hope we didn't scare you off) and of course, treasured friends to catch up with. Hope everybody made it home safely.

Oh man, I'm a little late to the forum but it's better late than never. I have never felt so close and at-home with a group of folks I had just met. The rendezvous was a great time and I'm definitely looking forward to hang with you guys again! Rasbo, I thought it was unreal you got drawn so many times! And fatslinger, you were a blast! I can't say this enough, you guys are all a great bunch. Lookin forward to next year!
