The Round table discussion on Friday Evening will be held as a Q&A, where virtually ALL of the demo presenters will be part of!

Mr Graham has informed me that admission will be just $15 a day for the seminars and vendor area.

If you have an antelope tag for Eastern Wyoming and plan to archery hunt this would be a great side event to come to while up here, or even a central Wyo pronghorn tag. The drive is not a bad one to Lusk.

Had a great 2 days in Lusk, Wy.
Saw a few Texas plates there too.

Learned some valuable info on trapping, fur handling and trap/snare set up and tricks.
John had guys there with decades of experience willing to share with us.
Spouse learned a bobcat can be skinned, fleshed and sewn if needed within an hour, put up on a board in that time too if he gets it to me in time.

The wolf and bear trapping/snaring demos were eye opening. We need a couple of way bigger traps for wolves, probably Bridger Special #5s.

Sold a mt lion hide we had tanned and it paid for our trip and extras we bought !! Who woulda' thought it?

I wish there was one of these closer to Shelby County where our place is. Would be lots of fun for sure.

We were not able to stay for the banquet Saturday night. $25 steak dinner with fur show, auction and raffles.
I bet it was a fine dinner.

Was a great time. Great to see good friends john Graham. Joel Blakesllee,biil ichek.and Otis Latham.
