Got back a little while ago from the Mo convention, for a Friday decent numbers, dealers down somewhat but many where selling things unless your moving DP coon traps LOL. Nice to see top lot stretchers come down from MINN picked up some of there wood forms, man he makes nice stuff!
Greg Schrdoer explained the coon and mink market very nicely. I always pick something up listening to him! Worth the drive alone,Heck even kept my 11 year old boy engauged with the topics!
Love that tail stripper he has ! Might have to try and fabricate one? The boy is pumped up for trapping season and that is he point so a fun day for sure!
Tom Olson as always was again there selling his items. Picked up a few things from him.

At the WTA we had Greg do two demos, one on grading beaver, mink and rats and one on coons and canines. He also related market expectations as well. Tom Olson has never missed a WTA rondy since I have been going. We had almost exactly the same tables sold as last year with a few regulars not there and a couple new ones. Dealers were stating they did very well. I so more dollies full of trap boxes than I anticipated I would see.

Yeh k9 okie cable was there I believe.
He did skinning and fleshing and stretching demos all day long on Friday. he also talked market and other topics as well while doing each species. he talked about the need for people to learn how to sew and dress wild fur and the future plans for a school just for wild fur in the near future.
I have been watching his demos for years and always come away with something for sure.

Greg does fur handling demos both days about 3-5 per day at their FHA booth. He did the two grading ones in our main demo area. Yes he does have lots of information. NAFA also does fur demos both days about 5-6 per day. That is why we never have fur handling demos in our main demo area.

My new Dp was selling quite nicely. But overall it was not good for some of those selling them. I was told by one dealer that he and another did not sell a single one. Was a good show. As was the Wisconsin one. Have not been on awhile because I could not log on, now for some reason I am already logged on.
