Thanks Gary for the ATA convention update, Yes there will be some top notch trappers putting on demo's, I know Rance Curtis will be demonstrating his favorite Beaver set, Ken Hildebrand will be showing his Killer Wolf set, among others. Lots of good knowledge to be gained here, The Ultimate Trapper event should be a blast again this year.

Always a blast and I wouldn't miss it. We just finished a piece "The Wolverine Project" for the ATA and the ACA. An 8 minute HD vignette on wolverines. I'm bringing copies for ACA and they're using as give aways for any trapper who completes a survey. I think trappers will enjoy the story. See you there. Still looking for entries to photo contest 5 x 7
