Rendezvous

[South west trappin RG]

Who plans on attending the rendezvous July 6-7 in westlock . It’s a show like no other, I will be doing some skinning demos with my son - bobcat lynx an some fox. My family is also going to be receiving fur for the fur handeling competition. It would be nice to meet AO members. Rod Graham.

Don't be getting your ginch all twisted up and being all butt hurt. I thoroughly enjoy the rendezvous. There is no fighting no bullying of that nature. Everyone is actually very respectful regardless of their views. I have met some great friends and some guys where I wondered if they wear tinfoil hats.
The seminars and demos are excellent. The info and knowledge is great. And for The deal hunters many vendors have their show specials which are great deals on traps.
The UTC is a blast. If you can trap 14 wolves then you can win the ultimate trapper competition. Yep you do win cash. Yep that might hedge your wolf check. All the guys on here that say there is no info and the ATA is operating in a cloak of shadows can walk up to anyone and have an honest conversation. But flinging mud at people on the internet is so darn productive. And for all you guys that have a beef with a fellow in a black cowboy hat go up to him and talk with the guy. If you want a concern addressed talk to the executives you have time to explain your point of view instead of a 5min phone call or a poorly worded email. Come on down show your skills have a drink talk trapping. Great weekend lots for the whole family

Come anyways Phil, water under the bridge. Divided we fall. That's what it sez
Matt 12:25!!!
Might as well be ESV!

SW Guy, I am planning on coming. It would be nice to meet you there too.

I sure hope I get a fast coyote for the skinning contest! I've been practicing, as in I was out a skinner last winter... poor little arthritis hands...
I plan to give Justin W and his Jr skinner partner a good run for their money! Hopefully we arent skinning on them same garbage units as last year... like cord??? Really???

We better skin them kiyutes just like they are filming in SK so that it's an apples to apples comparison. They start them all hanging, which is cheating in my books but we gotta have it all apples. I actually skinned my first and second kiyutes last year hanging that way, and both were disasters!!!

I hang my head in shame...

You should come Phil not one person would give you any grief, lots of neat stuff and you always learn a thing or two.

Well I'll be there doing a few demos and coming in last in the UTC. 😂 pick up some more gear. Would be nice to meet Dave, Phil and the others off here. Maybe even have a few beers. Rod I’ll see if i can wrangle up some fur for you to judge.

lol No prob guys I said it with a smile so no worries. I get off a night shift so I might see what is going on and bring some kids with me. I'll have to dig up the details of where it is.
Rod , if you are taking fur for tanning I have some for you? Let me know if that is cool or if you want me to mail it.

I am not taking any new customers right now Phil. I am getting really backed up an turn around times are in the eight month area I like to have it around six. Keep your fur in a freezer or it will have bugs.
