Hope everyone has enjoyed the summer. Weather is finally starting to cool off some. We been chasing the bears some and welcome the cooler weather. Was able to attend the State convention in Orange this year and had a good time. Thanks to Art and his folks for making it a good one.
We had our family picnic recently. The crowd was a little lighter than usual but the ones who attended seemed to have a good time. Our mini convention at the fairgrounds in Bland is the 14 and 15 of October. The bunkhouse will be open as well as camping. Tailgating is welcomed. Should be cooler weather than we are having now, so come and make this a good one. We havent set a date for our fur sale or fur demo day but will be announcing them at a later date.
I've been trying to get the traps ready for our season. Have been turning an old building into a fur shed and have got the outside finished. Put a wood stove in it today and hope to have it hooked up in a few days. Will be trying to skin with a winch this year but havent quite got it in yet.
Nothing much more to report. Make sure you check the trapping laws as some things have changed. Till next time, take care and god bless.
Any questions just give me a call at 276-722-2574.
