I will be attending for the Trapper Education class. Will there be any traps available for purchase?
Yes. I have some. I know Butch and Ted are selling traps. There will no doubt be some in the auction too.

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.

I will start a new thread on this winters Rendezvous in a few days. Pretty well have everything lined up but want to confirm a couple more items. It will be in March.
I know I cant make that one but would love to go to one in the Summer time!
