Morgan,
I'm going to TRY to get up there this year. (Had NO idea where it was, but actually drove right by there coming out of Shepherdstown,WV last week)

Most likely will have to roll in early Saturday. Still trying to convince the kids that it'll be more fun than their 4H pool party! If we show up at the MFT convention and they're wearing bathing suits and look PO'd , I'm aiming them at you!

Any idea on demos yet? Many vendors?
Thanks

Dave, be happy to see all of you there no matter how they are dressed. Just got back from a week in Iowa at the National Trappers Convention, what a blast. Gonna take me a week to catch up here.
As far as demos there are several and Ed Davis and I are doing one on cable stakes since I use a lot of Pogo's and Ed uses Berksires, Earth Anchors etc. I believe Phil Brown will be there and maybe you can talk him into telling how he catches 1200 Red Fox per year. Vendors is out of my dept. but I am sure there will be several....most anything you need trapping related.
The live trapline is the best demo of all....Ron Leggett's location methods and sets....Ron and Pete have been responsible for tens of thousands of predators over the years, I believe 1200 fox in 53 days right here in Md. When you get there just ask for the demo you want and we will get somebody to talk about it.
Ps. PO'd people seem to seek me out anyway....lol.
