There sure was! It did rain , but there is an indoor area also. we had 18 members and wives . a pile of traps common and unusual got to go to new homes . I ended up with a set of near new Chestnut snowshoes and a RHEUTHES .30 cal percussion civil war era animal trap set gun .
Some large bear traps also went to new homes US and Canada. next year same place same time . I did not see you at Botts picnic ?
That was also a good time . I brought my two little female monsters and they are raring to go next year!

Couldn't make it to the Picnic this year. That's a first for many years. I heard it was first class as always. I'd also like to hit your collector meet. Sounds like a great time. I've got some old legholds I inherited when I got Sam's line on the Blackstone. You can have them if you want. Probably nothing out of the ordinary but maybe you can bargain your way to something better..LOL.I do have an old wolf trap with teeth so I'll check what brand it is and number.
