Default Edmonton Boat and Sportsmen show

Come by the ATA booth and say Hi...I'll be there on Saturday all day. Would love to BS with some of you guys if you're attending the show.

P.S

Things will be looking up when I get there tonight and part of tomorrow. Hall B close to the K-97 corner. And a shameless plug for my wife and the other ladies at the AFGA BOW (Become an Outdoor Woman) camp in Hall A. If your wife or daughter are there they should stop by the booth, it's in with the fish and game clubs.

It's been pretty steady at the ATA booth so far. Lots of interested people. And there's certainly no shortage of BS, (mostly on our side of the table), especially when MIskosky stops by.

What a great experience! The ATA was set up in a great location with lots of traffiic. We sold lots of raffle tickets for the ATA.

I loved seeing the expressions on the kids faces as they can their hands through a lynx or otter hide for the first time. Another observation was the number of "older gents" who got excited when they picked up the muskrats of all things.......I heard at least a dozen times how muskrats in the 60s and 70s paid for first rifles, "town money", Christmas presents for the family etc.

Heard a scary story from an Ontario trapper about getting both arms stuck in a 330 under water in winter ....fortunately the story had a happy ending.

Good times! Looking forward to helping out next year!

Well done!

Did anyone express any serious interest in taking up trapping?
