If you would like to learn about trapping, pick up the latest gear without paying the high shipping costs, or network with fellow trappers, this is the place to do it in Nebraska.
Some of the country's best trappers will be putting on free demonstrations detailing how to catch just about every furbearer in Nebraska. It's a great opportunity to add more knowledge to your skill set. They're great guys and will take time to talk to anybody that asks.
There's always a big social campfire somewhere in the evening, this is my favorite part.
See you there - here's the info:
